Website Hacking & Penetration Testing: Start from Scratch

Welcome to the ultimate course for anyone interested in mastering website hacking and penetration testing Complete course! This course is designed for beginners, guiding you from foundational concepts to advanced penetration testing techniques, without requiring any prior knowledge.

What You’ll Learn

• Set up a penetration testing lab and install necessary software.
• Understand how websites work, including the roles of web servers and databases.
• Learn to exploit vulnerabilities and carry out effective penetration tests.
• Fix vulnerabilities and secure websites from potential attacks.

Course Structure :Website Hacking Penetration Testing

The course is divided into three main sections:

1. Information Gathering

This section teaches you how to gather critical information about your target website, including:

• Discovering the DNS server used
• Identifying services, subdomains, and unpublished directories
• Finding sensitive files, user emails, and web hosting providers

This knowledge is crucial for increasing your chances of successfully gaining access to the target website.

2. Discovering, Exploiting & Fixing

In this section, you’ll learn to discover, exploit, and fix a range of vulnerabilities:

• File Upload: Exploit vulnerabilities that allow attackers to upload executable files.
• Code Execution: Run system code on the target web server for malicious purposes.
• Local File Inclusion: Read any file on the target server and escalate the vulnerability for reverse shell access.
• Remote File Inclusion: Load remote files on the target web server.
• SQL Injection: One of the most dangerous vulnerabilities that can allow access to sensitive data, including usernames and passwords.
• XSS (Cross-Site Scripting): Execute JavaScript code on vulnerable pages to steal user credentials.
• Insecure Session Management: Exploit insecure session management to access other user accounts.
• Brute Force & Dictionary Attacks: Learn to launch password guessing attacks effectively.

3. Post Exploitation

After successfully exploiting vulnerabilities, this section covers what you can do with the gained access:

• Convert reverse shell access to Weevely access.
• Run system commands on the target server and navigate directories.
• Access and download databases.
• Bypass security measures to perform actions without permissions.

Each vulnerability will be covered with practical attacks that work against real websites, along with advanced methods to gain more privileges.

Prerequisites

• No prior knowledge of penetration testing or hacking is required.
• A computer with internet access to set up your testing environment.
