Ethical Hacking with Metasploit, SQL & Crypto

Coursera · Intermediate ·🔐 Cybersecurity ·1mo ago
Learners will be able to explain and demonstrate Metasploit commands, analyze and apply exploits and payloads, evaluate SQL injection techniques, differentiate and apply cryptographic methods, analyze hash vulnerabilities, and demonstrate secure database management practices. This course provides a complete, hands-on journey into ethical hacking and penetration testing using Kali Linux. Beginning with Metasploit fundamentals, you will master msfconsole, explore exploits, and generate payloads to simulate real-world attacks. You will then progress to SQL injection, learning how to identify, test, and exploit database vulnerabilities using manual techniques, Google dorks, and automation with sqlmap. In the second half of the course, you will build a strong foundation in cryptography and database security. You will uncover the principles of password cracking, hashing, digital signatures, and cryptographic strengths and weaknesses, while also gaining practical skills in securely importing and exporting databases. What makes this course unique is its blend of practical labs and conceptual depth, ensuring learners not only perform penetration tests but also understand the cryptographic and database principles behind them. By the end, you will be fully equipped with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to assess vulnerabilities ethically and strengthen system defenses.
