Learn Man in the Middle Attacks from Scratch

Overview

Class Central Tips

In this course, you'll learn to set up your Kali Linux 2.0 lab, understand device communication, and master Man in the Middle (MITM) attacks. The course has four sections: - Preparation, where you download and set up Kali Linux as a virtual machine or main OS; - Network Basics, covering essential network knowledge for security testing; - MITM Attack, teaching you to perform MITM attacks and execute post-modules like playing music on the target OS, stealing credentials, and gaining full access to connected devices; - Protecting Yourself, learning to safeguard your OS against these attacks. By the end, you'll perform MITM attacks on target networks, control connected computers, and protect yourself. You'll learn to navigate the Linux environment, explore Kali tools, learn ARP poisoning, access client accounts in Wi-Fi networks, and launch MITM attacks. This course is designed for cybersecurity enthusiasts, ethical hackers, and IT professionals looking to deepen their knowledge of network security. A basic understanding of Linux and networking concepts is recommended but not required.
