“Think like an attacker to defend like a professional.”
- Duration:
- 6 Months (24 Weeks) · 96 Learning Hours + 48 Lab Hours
- Mode:
- Hands-on Lab-Based Training
Overview
An intensive, lab-heavy programme covering the full penetration testing lifecycle — reconnaissance, scanning, exploitation and reporting — using tools like Metasploit, Nmap, Burp Suite and Aircrack-ng. The course prepares learners for certifications such as CEH and OSCP and closes with a full penetration test on a simulated organisation.
Who it’s for
Aspiring penetration testers, SOC analysts and cybersecurity professionals who want deep, hands-on offensive security skills.
What you’ll learn
- OSINT, footprinting and active/passive reconnaissance
- Vulnerability scanning and exploitation using Metasploit
- Privilege escalation, malware analysis and post-exploitation
- Web application and wireless network exploitation
- Professional penetration test reporting and remediation strategy
Your 6-month journey
Month 1: Introduction to Ethical Hacking & Networking Fundamentals
you'll capture packets in Wireshark and build your own Kali Linux/Metasploitable lab.
Month 2: Footprinting, Reconnaissance & Scanning
you'll run active and passive reconnaissance with Nmap, theHarvester and Recon-ng.
Month 3: Vulnerability Analysis & Exploitation
you'll scan and exploit a vulnerable system live using Metasploit and OpenVAS.
Month 4: System Hacking, Malware & Post-Exploitation
you'll escalate privileges on a Linux system and analyse real malware with REMnux/FlareVM.
Month 5: Web Application & Wireless Hacking
you'll exploit a vulnerable web app (DVWA/OWASP Juice Shop) and crack a Wi-Fi network with Aircrack-ng.
Month 6: Advanced Topics & Final Project
you'll simulate a phishing attack and deliver a full professional penetration-test report.
