Ethical Hacking – From Linux Basics to Exploitation

Throughout this hands-on ethical hacking crash course, you will learn the core Linux fundamentals and essential command-line tools needed to navigate and audit target systems effectively. From network scanning and web enumeration with tools like Nmap, Dirsearch, and Burp Suite, to exploiting vulnerabilities and writing your own automation scripts, you will gain practical, real-world skills. Everything is demonstrated safely and legally inside a local CTF lab environment, so let’s dive right in and get started!
