About this course

The starting point, and quite a bit more. First we build the lab from scratch — VMware, Kali Linux and the KaliPWM environment — and learn to move around the terminal. From there it's real hacking: vulnerable machines to practise on, reconnaissance with Nmap, attacking network services like FTP, SMB and RDP, exploitation with Metasploit and, to close the loop, how to write the vulnerability report that justifies all the work. It's complete and free on my YouTube channel.
