Welcome to Ethical Hacking: Offensive and Defensive Security, the most comprehensive and practical cybersecurity course designed for learners who want to master every layer of cyber warfare — from networking and vulnerability assessment to malware development, privilege escalation, EDR bypass, and real-world incident response.
Whether you’re a beginner exploring cybersecurity or a professional aiming to strengthen both Red Team and Blue Team skills, this course will give you everything you need to think, act, and defend like a modern cyber expert.
What You’ll Learn:
Core networking and data communication concepts — OSI model, TCP/UDP, IP addressing, ports, and protocols
Step-by-step lab setup with VirtualBox, Kali Linux, Windows, and attack environments
Understanding and deploying firewalls, IDS/IPS, honeypots, and VPNs
Performing network-based attacks like DoS/DDoS, ARP poisoning, sniffing, and botnet analysis
Conducting vulnerability assessments and scanning entire networks, hosts, and web applications
Applying industry frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK® and the Cyber Kill Chain
Offensive Security: Red Team Operations:
Learn malware development from scratch — build reverse shells, command & control payloads, and DLL injectors
Perform process injection, DLL hijacking, and process hollowing for stealthy access
Deliver payloads using Cobalt Strike, Certutil, and other advanced techniques
Execute privilege escalation through UAC bypassing, token manipulation, named pipe impersonation, and service exploitation
Dump and analyze LSASS memory, SAM hives, and stolen credentials using Mimikatz, Pypykatz, and LaZagne
Implement persistence mechanisms via registry keys, WMI, startup folders, and scheduled tasks
Explore defense evasion — bypass antivirus and EDRs using API hooking, unhooking, AMSI patching, and DLL sideloading
Defensive Security: Blue Team & Incident Response:
Investigate network intrusions, logs, and endpoint activity in Microsoft Defender ATP (EDR)
Understand endpoint protection engines, DLP, and malware detection methodologies
Apply incident response procedures for network discovery, collection, command & control, and data exfiltration
Detect and respond to RMM tools, lateral movement, and RDP misuse
Learn to mitigate ransomware impact, shadow copy deletion, and recovery techniques
Tools and Techniques Covered:
Kali Linux, Wireshark, Nmap, Metasploit, Cobalt Strike, BloodHound, SharpHound, Impacket, Angry IP Scanner
Windows utilities and LOLBAS binaries (Certutil, Rundll32, Mshta, Reg, WMIC, Bitsadmin, etc.)
Advanced scripting and custom code development for attacks and defenses
Course Structure:
25 in-depth sections and 170+ hands-on lectures
Includes real-time demonstrations, code walkthroughs, and live simulations
Resources provided at the end of each module for continued learning
Covers Red Team (Offense), Blue Team (Defense), and Incident Response (DFIR) together
By the End of This Course, You Will:
Build and manage your own ethical hacking lab
Develop malware and exploit payloads in a safe, isolated environment
Detect, investigate, and mitigate real-world attacks
Understand adversary tactics from initial access to data exfiltration
Be fully prepared for roles like Cybersecurity Analyst, SOC Engineer, Red Team Specialist, or Penetration Tester.
