About this course

The entire cyber-infrastructure is built upon the World Wide Web. At the heart of this global village lies a combination of two computing systems with a connecting medium, also known as a computer network. But have you ever thought of this – Is the infrastructure worthy enough to gain access to your personal information? Is the cloud secure enough for you to load your photographs? Today, developers, scientists, influencers, everyone is depending on the cloud infrastructure, but the security of this structure depends on a group of professionals known as the pen-testers or ethical hackers.

This course is aimed at giving you a kickstart to your networking and ethical hacking career. Here, we are going to begin from the basics of a computing system, like how two applications communicate amongst themselves using a network, how to escalate privileges in Linux, to advance topics like Metasploit and SQL map. We will also teach you how to detect and predict cyberattacks in advance, by the use of AI in malware analysis.
