((EXCLUSIVE)) Learn Network Hacking From Scratch (WiFi Wired)
Vaniria Setser
More advanced topics include launching denial of service attacks, using SSL stripping to sniff network traffic, exploiting routers, DNS spoofing, SQL injection attacks on websites, and using tools like Hydra and John the Ripper to brute force passwords.
You begin with in-depth information gathering using tools like Whois, Netcraft, and Maltego to discover sensitive details about the target such as IP addresses, technologies used, subdomains, and more.
Then you learn how to discover and exploit a wide array of vulnerabilities: file upload flaws to gain server access, code execution bugs to run commands on the server, Local File Inclusion (LFI) and Remote File Inclusion (RFI) to read and write files, and SQL injection to manipulate databases and extract sensitive data like passwords.
Web application penetration testing is extensively covered, with modules on SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, command injection, and using tools like Burp Suite and Hydra for finding and exploiting vulnerabilities.
With over 50 hours of content, detailed explanations, and hands-on exercises using industry-standard tools, this course provides unparalleled value for anyone looking to start or advance their career in ethical hacking.
The course also covers advanced topics like creating fake access points, generating undetectable backdoors using Veil Framework, and gaining full control over devices on the same network by serving fake updates.
This course goes from the basics of setting up a secure hacking environment with Kali Linux in a virtual machine, to advanced techniques like system hacking with Metasploit and coding your own backdoors and keyloggers in Python.
This course is focused on the practical side of penetration testing without neglecting the theory. Before jumping into hacking you will first learn how to set up a lab and install needed software (works on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux), then the course is structured in a way that will take you through the basics of linux, computer systems, networks and how devices communicate with each other, then you will learn how to exploit this method of communication to carry out a number of powerful attacks.
NOTE: This course is totally a product of Zaid Sabih and No other organization is associated for certification exam for the same. Although, you will receive Course Completion Certification from Udemy, apart from that No OTHER ORGANIZATION IS INVOLVED.
I have an RB853 router with wired and WiFi and presently just a primary network and a Guest Network. I have extensive IoT devices and home automation and would like to get suggestions on best practices for better isolating the IoT devices while not creating problems in controlling them from iPhones that would be on the Primary Network. We appreciate WiFi cameras, security system with the base connected via hard-wired Ethernet, automated lighting and window shades along with other typical Alexa/Google smart speakers and Apple TVs. Which devices inside my home that are on the primary network should be pushed over to either the Guest network, or configured to run on a VLAN / Bridge? Also, I'm aware from Orbi that multiple times per week a particular laptop is getting outside connection attempts blocked from IP addresses outside the US (Netherlands, Belize....). The laptop is on the primary home network, and connected via WiFi. Should this laptop that appears to be subject to hack attempts be segmented onto a VLAN? (I have some network experience from sales engineering with a large router company, but that's getting rusty.) Before I go making changes would appreciate hearing from those more experienced on how to best configure the network to support various devices without creating problems.
Last, I've tried to get Comcast to release and renew my IP by power off for a while, and power back on. But the IP does not change. I thought that would be a basic good idea to change my IP from what the hackers were daily attempting. However my "dynamic IP" does not change on booting back up.
IoT Network. Your observation is correct. Devices connected to the IoT network are in the same IP subnet as everything except Guest devices. The IoT network was created to address a specific customer complaint: that the primary 2.4G and 5G WiFi network has only one SSID. The 2.4G and 5G WiFi networks cannot be given different names, which was a common feature on earlier WiFi routers. Some IoT devices have poorly written smart phone apps and setup struggles when the phone is connected at 5G. Netgear "held the line" for years and finally offered a solution: create a different WiFi network where the 5G signal could be turned off. (There were numerous other solutions Netgear could have implemented, but that's the one they chose. If a particular user finds that all IoT devices are "no problem" to set up, there is no reason to enable the IoT network.
Guest Network. With the guest network being "separate", it is not possible to access devices on the guest network from the primary network. For the vast majority of IoT devices, this is not a problem because the app managing them goes "through the cloud". If the app will turn on a light bulb from Starbucks or when driving around in a car, being on the guest WiFi network is not a problem. In one sense, therefore, putting IoT devices on the guest WiFi is "more secure" because if some evil person "takes over" the IoT device, there is not much damage they can do. But......really? Are we worried about Dr. Evil commandeering our smart plugs?
Can you please explain how attempts to connect to a laptop on the Orbi LAN are detected? The laptop is 'hidden' behind Network Address Translation (NAT). It does not have a public IP address. Are ports being forwarded through the router to this laptop?
Hi CrimpOn, thanks for your comments. WRT the IoT devices my main concern was having them on the primary network would allow them to potentially be a way to sniff into our network in case one of the devices had a known vulnerability (i.e. Purple Air Sensor, weather station, sprinkler system....). I've seen reports of burglaries in the Bay Area with bad guys carrying WiFi jammers and disrupting home security cameras. I'm assuming at some point bad guys that were also "smart" might learn how to gain access to your network and disable security systems or some other malicious crime.
As for the concern about the laptop. I just got another Orbi alert notification from yesterday. "Suspicious Connection Blocked. Netgear Armor has detected and blocked a suspicious connection on PC xxxxxxx". If you click through the alert it will state the remote IP was 80.66.88.211 which is the Netherlands. I realize they could be using a VPN and routed through that IP, but nonetheless it is some device somewhere well outside my home apparently attempting to connect to this PC. I see IP connection attempts from Netherlands, Belize, China, Russia, Germany.....and why me? I don't think I'm that interesting a target to go after. Your thoughts on these warnings?
With no experience to draw on, and no documentation about how Armor works, I can only speculate. If there is no port being forwarded through the router to the laptop, then it is literally impossible for anyone to even attempt to connect to the laptop. My guess is that some application on the laptop has attempted to connect to this IP address and Armor said, "No Way!" (Most likely a web browser.) Check this out:
To answer your question on what was the PC doing prior to the alert coming up..................nothing. Some of these alerts are occurring during the night when the PC is not being used. It's not a URL that the user gets blocked on. Instead it is the alert that an outside IP tried to connect to the PC. That IPabuse website you referenced shows that the IP that is attempting to connect has thousands of user reports/complaints of hacking attempts (bruteforce, SSH...). That PC is a lightly used relic from some years ago although its loaded with current OS, and scanned for malware/viruses using BitDefender and previously Norton. I do know that my email address and prior passwords could have been subject to a breach by Comcast and they have appeared on the dark web. However every password has been changed and two factor authentication on most every important site we access. Nonetheless, still disturbing to see regular what appear to be hacking attempts on a low value home PC.
If this laptop is powered on when these events happen, it might be doing "something"? My desktop is a busy little guy 24 hours a day, running all sort of updates, backups, and what-not at all hours of the day and night.
Welcome to this comprehensive course on Network Hacking!In this course, you will start as abeginnerwith no previous knowledge about penetration testing orhacking and by the end of it you'll be at an intermediate level being able to hack into networks and connected devices like black-hat hackers and secure them like security experts.
This course is focused on thepractical side ofpenetrationtesting without neglecting the theory. Before jumping into hacking youwill first learn how toset up a lab and install needed software (works on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux), then the course is structured in a way that will take you through the basics of linux, computer systems, networks andhow devices communicate with each other,then you will learn how toexploit this method of communication to carry out a number of powerful attacks.
Pre-connection attacks: In this section you will learn how networks work, how devices communicate with each other and how the information is transferred in a wireless networks. You will also learn some basic terminology, what is a channel ? MAC address ? what is managed mode ? What is monitor mode and how to enable it ? what is sniffing and what is it limited to ? so in this section we still don't know much about penetration testing , all we have is a computer and a wireless card connected to it, you will learn how to start gathering information using your wi-fi card (packet sniffing) and you will learn how to control connections around you (ie:deny/allow devices from connecting to networks) without knowing the password of the target network.
