What You'll Learn

Module 1: CYBERSECURITY & NETWORK SECURITY ESSENTIALS

Build a strong foundation in cybersecurity and network security concepts, including the CIA Triad, OSI model, protocols, IP addressing, and subnetting. Learn identity, authentication, and access control through Active Directory and IAM. Explore defense-in-depth strategies, secure communications using VPNs and TOR, and set up Docker-based security labs.

Module 2: LINUX FOR SECURITY PROFESSIONALS

Learn Linux fundamentals, filesystem structure, and essential commands used by security professionals. Set up virtual labs by installing Kali Linux and explore its tools for penetration testing and security operations through hands-on practice.

Module 3: INFORMATION GATHERING & RECONNAISSANCE

Learn how attackers and defenders gather intelligence using foot printing and reconnaissance techniques. Perform DNS and WHOIS lookups, email harvesting, metadata extraction, banner grabbing, and basic port scanning to identify live hosts and services.

Module 4: OPEN-SOURCE INTELLIGENCE (OSINT)

Learn structured OSINT methodologies and frameworks for intelligence gathering. Use popular OSINT tools, advanced Google search techniques, Shodan device discovery, and social media intelligence. Apply concepts through real-world OSINT investigation case studies

Module 5:SCANNING & ENUMERATION

Understand the difference between scanning and enumeration in cyber operations. Learn basic to advanced Nmap techniques, stealth scanning, and service enumeration using tools like PowerShell and Sparta to identify active services and protocols.

Module 6:VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT

Learn the importance and types of vulnerability assessments. Use tools like Nikto, Nmap NSE, and OpenVAS to identify and prioritize security weaknesses. Gain hands-on skills for scanning and evaluating vulnerabilities effectively.

Module 7: PASSWORD CRACKING

Understand common password cracking methods and how weak credentials are exploited. Learn to use John the Ripper and Hydra for attacking services like SSH, web logins, and RDP. Explore wordlists and rainbow tables to improve attack efficiency.

Module 8: SOCIAL ENGINEERING ATTACKS

Learn the fundamentals of social engineering and how human behavior is exploited. Explore phishing, vishing, and smishing attacks, web application cloning using SEToolkit, and mobile-based attack techniques. Analyze realworld social engineering breach case studies.

Module 9: SYSTEM HACKING & POST-EXPLOITATION

Learn how Linux systems are exploited and how attackers escalate privileges after initial access. Understand persistence mechanisms such as backdoors and services, and perform post-exploitation data collection to assess system impact.

Module 10: WEB APPLICATION SECURITY BASICS

Get introduced to web application penetration testing and the OWASP Top 10 security risks. Learn Burp Suite fundamentals and practice testing skills using the OWASP Juice Shop in hands-on labs.

Module 11: SECURITY OPERATIONS CENTER (SOC)

Understand the role and importance of a Security Operations Center. Learn about SOC structure, tiers, and roles, along with the security infrastructure and monitoring tools used to detect and respond to threats. Study real-world SOC case examples for practical insights.

Module 12: INCIDENT RESPONSE & FORENSICS

Learn the NIST incident response lifecycle and how to detect, contain, and respond to attacks. Understand the basics of digital forensics, including log collection, evidence preservation, and incident reporting for effective security management.

Module 13: SIEM & THREAT DETECTION

Learn the fundamentals of SIEM and its role in modern SOCs. Understand SIEM implementation, log onboarding, search, correlation, and alerting. Practice threat hunting and detecting real-world attacks using tools like Splunk.
