Overview
Welcome to the coursera guided project on using Metasploit! This comprehensive training program focuses on the key tools and techniques needed to conduct ethical hacking and penetration testing. With a blend of theory and hands-on practice, the course is structured into three main modules:
Metasploit Framework: Dive into the world of exploiting vulnerabilities using Metasploit, the world-renowned penetration testing tool. Learn to identify and leverage weaknesses in system security, and conduct responsible disclosure.
Nmap Scanning: Master the art of network discovery with Nmap, a pivotal tool for scanning networks and uncovering open ports. Understand how to create detailed network maps and identify potential entry points for exploitation.
Exploiting Vulnerable Machines: Through controlled exercises, learn to assess, penetrate, and secure vulnerable systems. Engage with real-world scenarios, where you will practice identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities safely within a lab environment.
This course offers hands-on experience and is designed for both newcomers and seasoned professionals. You'll walk away with a solid understanding of these crucial cybersecurity tools, ready to tackle real-world challenges responsibly and effectively.
Note: A commitment to ethical hacking is emphasized throughout the course, and participants are expected to adhere to all applicable laws and ethical guidelines.
