The course has four sections: - Preparation, where you download and set up Kali Linux as a virtual machine or main OS; - Network Basics, covering essential network knowledge for security testing; - MITM Attack, teaching you to perform MITM attacks and execute post-modules like playing music on the target OS, stealing credentials, and gaining full access to connected devices; - Protecting Yourself, learning to safeguard your OS against these attacks. By the end, you'll perform MITM attacks on target networks, control connected computers, and protect yourself. You'll learn to navigate the Linux environment, explore Kali tools, learn ARP poisoning, access client accounts in Wi-Fi networks, and launch MITM attacks.
