Social Engineering for Ethical Hackers: Learn from Scratch

Focus Keyphrase: Social Engineering Ethical Hacking

Welcome to the comprehensive course on Social Engineering for Ethical Hacking. In this course, you’ll start from scratch, learning the basics of social engineering and gradually advancing to hacking major operating systems like Windows, OS X, and Linux. Through practical social engineering techniques, you will gain the skills to create, deliver, and exploit trojans and other tools used in ethical hacking.

What You’ll Learn

• Set up a safe lab environment for penetration testing.
• Gather critical information about your target using social engineering techniques.
• Create malicious files that can bypass antivirus protection.
• Deliver these files using smart social engineering tactics.
• Post-exploitation tactics to gain control over compromised systems.

Social Engineering Ethical Hacking Course Structure :

1. Information Gathering

In this section, you’ll learn how to gather information about your target, whether it’s a company, website, or person. You’ll explore methods to discover associated websites, links, emails, phone numbers, social media accounts, and more, which you will use to build a smart attack strategy.

2. Generating Evil Files

Learn how to generate evil files such as backdoors, keyloggers, and credential harvesters. You’ll also learn how to create trojans for Windows, OS X, and Linux and how to enhance them to bypass antivirus protection. You’ll even make these malicious files look like harmless images or PDFs, and embed them in Microsoft Office documents.

3. Social Engineering Delivery Methods

Discover various methods for delivering these malicious files, including creating fake websites, sending phishing emails, and using fake login pages. You’ll learn advanced techniques for delivering trojans without user interaction, such as using fake updates or URLs.

4. Post Exploitation

After exploiting vulnerabilities, you’ll learn how to maintain control over compromised systems, access the file system, escalate privileges, spy on the target, and even pivot to attack other systems on the same network.

Requirements

• Basic IT skills and general computer knowledge.

What You’ll Gain

• Understand the dangers of social engineering and how hackers exploit these methods.
• Learn how to secure systems from social engineering attacks.
• Gain practical skills for generating and delivering malware to exploit major operating systems.
