Trusted by 17,000+ learners exploring ethical hacking fundamentals worldwide. Ethical Hacking Fundamentals is a hands-on beginner course that teaches how real-world attacks happen and how security professionals defend systems. You’ll begin with the basics of hacking, types of hackers, and the difference between ethical and illegal hacking. Next, you will understand cybersecurity terminologies, hacking stages, fundamentals of security, and penetration testing types. You will also see hands-on, real-world demos installing Kali Linux and configuring Burp Suite. Then, you’ll practice reconnaissance and footprinting using Shodan, WHOIS, website footprinting, Google Dorks, and web archive discovery. After that, you’ll move into network scanning and enumeration: host discovery, OS detection, vulnerability scanning, and Nmap-based port scanning with countermeasures. Finally, you will address social engineering and phishing defense, as well as web application and server security fundamentals, including authentication testing and API exploitation.
