Description

Welcome this great course where you'll learn python programming and ethical hacking at the same time, the course assumes you have NO prior knowledge in any of these topics, and by the end of it you'll be at a high intermediate level being able to combine both of these skills and write python programs to hack into computer systems exactly the same way that black hat hackers do, not only that but you'll be able to use the programming skills you learn here to write any program even if it has nothing to do with hacking.

This course is highly practical but it won't neglect the theory, so we'll start with covering some basics about ethical hacking and python programming, installing the needed software and then we'll dive and start programming straight away. From here onwards you'll learn everything by example, by writing useful hacking programs, so we'll never have any boring dry programming lectures.

The course is divided into a number of sections each aims to achieve a specific goal, the goal is usually to hack into a certain system, so we'll start by learning how this system work, the weaknesses of this system, and then you'll lean how to write a python program to exploit these weaknesses and hack the system, as we write the program I will teach you python programming from scratch covering one topic at a time, so by the end of the course you're going to have a number of ethical hacking programs written by yourself (see below) from backdoors, keyloggers, credential harvesters, network hacking tools, website hacking tools and the list goes on, not only that but you'll also have a deep understanding on how computer systems work, how to model problems, design an algorithm to solve problems and implement the solution using python.

As mentioned in this course you will learn both ethical hacking and programming at the same time, so here are some of the topics that will be covered in the course:

Programming topics:

  • Writing programs for python 2 and 3.
  • Using modules and libraries.
  • Variables, types ...etc.
  • Handling user input.
  • Reading and writing files.
  • Functions.
  • Loops.
  • Data structures.
  • Regex.
  • Desiccation making.
  • Recursion.
  • Threading.
  • Object oriented programming.
  • Packet manipulation using scapy.
  • Netfilterqueue.
  • Socket programming.
  • String manipulation.
  • Exceptions.
  • Serialisation.
  • Compiling programs to binary executables.
  • Sending & receiving HTTP requests.
  • Parsing HTML.
  • + more!

Hacking topics:

  • Basics of network hacking / penetration testing.
  • Changing MAC address & bypassing filtering.
  • Network mapping.
  • ARP Spoofing - redirect the flow of packets in a network.
  • DNS Spoofing - Redirect requests from one website to another.
  • Spying on any client connected to the network - see usernames, passwords, visited urls ....etc.
  • Inject code in pages loaded by any computer connected to the same network.
  • Replace files on the fly as they get downloaded by any computer on the same network.
  • Detect ARP spoofing attacks.
  • Bypass HTTPS.
  • Create malware for Windows, OS X and Linux.
  • Create trojans for Windows, OS X and Linux.
  • Hack Windows, OS X and Linux using custom backdoor.
  • Bypass Anti-Virus programs.
  • Use fake login prompt to steal credentials.
  • Display fake updates.
  • Use own keylogger to spy on everything typed on a Windows or OS X computer.
  • Learn the basics of website hacking / penetration testing.
  • Discover subdomains.
  • Discover hidden files and directories in a website.
  • Run wordlist attacks to guess login information.
  • Discover and exploit XSS vulnerabilities.
  • Discover weaknesses in websites using own vulnerability scanner.

Programs you'll build in this course:

You'll learn all the above by implementing the following hacking programs

  • mac_changer - changes MAC Address to anything we want.
  • network_scanner - scans network and discovers the IP and MAC address of all connected clients.
  • arp_spoofer - runs an arp spoofing attack to redirect the flow of packets in the network allowing us to intercept data.
  • packet_sniffer - filters intercepted data and shows usernames, passwords, visited links ....etc
  • dns_spoofer - redirects DNS requests, eg: redirects requests to from one domain to another.
  • file_interceptor - replaces intercepted files with any file we want.
  • code_injector - injects code in intercepted HTML pages.
  • arpspoof_detector - detects ARP spoofing attacks.
  • execute_command payload - executes a system command on the computer it gets executed on.
  • execute_and_report payload - executes a system command and reports result via email.
  • download_and_execute payload - downloads a file and executes it on target system.
  • download_execute_and_report payload - downloads a file, executes it, and reports result by email.
  • reverse_backdoor - gives remote control over the system it gets executed on, allows us to
    • Access file system.
    • Execute system commands.
    • Download & upload files
  • keylogger - records key-strikes and sends them to us by email.
  • crawler - discovers hidden paths on a target website.
  • discover_subdomains - discovers subdomains on target website.
  • spider - maps the whole target website and discovers all files, directories and links.
  • guess_login - runs a wordlist attack to guess login information.
  • vulnerability_scanner - scans a target website for weaknesses and produces a report with all findings.

As you build the above you'll learn:

  • Setting up a penetration testing lab to practice hacking safely.
  • Installing Kali Linux and Windows as virtual machines inside ANY operating system.
  • Linux Basics.
  • Linux terminal basics.
  • How networks work.
  • How clients communicate in a network.
  • Address Resolution Protocol - ARP.
  • Network layers.
  • Domain Name System - DNS.
  • Hypertext Transfer Protocol - HTTP.
  • HTTPS.
  • How anti-virus programs work.
  • Sockets.
  • Connecting devices over TCP.
  • Transferring data over TCP.
  • How website work.
  • GET & POST requests.
  • And more!

So by the end of the course you're going to have programming skills to write any program even if it has nothing to do with hacking, but you'll learn programming by programming hacking tools!

NOTE: This course is created for educational purposes only and all the attacks are launched in my own lab or against devices that I have permission to test.


What is the target audience?

  • Anybody who is interested in learning Python programming
  • Anybody who is interested in learning ethical hacking / penetration testing



Andrew Corkill

This is an excellent course that's really a 2 for the price of 1. As well as being a practical hacking course, this would be a great introduction to programming in general as it covers all of the basics. I took Zaid's Ethical Hacking from Scratch course, and that covers how to use existing tools to hack, as well as how to prevent them. This course focuses on implementing your own versions of those tools, and while it doesn't cover as many areas, it focuses on the implementation details so you get a great understanding of what's happening in the background so you can implement your own attacks. That said, it doesn't get lost in details. Zaid does a great job of getting, to the point, delivering concise explanations but always bringing it quickly back to the practical application. I definitely recommend this course after taking Ethical Hacking from Scratch so you get a great overview of Ethical Hacking before diving into the details.


Omer Farooq

Great course if you want to get start learn hacking/network programming/python programming.

He teaches in such a way that everyone can understand not only programming language concepts but also networking and hacking concepts too. Not a single complain till now in this course. Thanks for this course and please make more and more courses on security and hacking.

My name is Zaid Al-Quraishi , I am an ethical hacker, pentester and a computer scientist. I just love hacking and breaking the rules, but don’t get me wrong as I said I am an ethical hacker.

I have a very good experience in ethical hacking. I started making video tutorials since 2009 in an ethical hacking website (iSecuri1ty), I received very good feedback for my tutorials which lead to promoting me as an editor in the website. I also work in the penetration testing team of iSecur1ty.

In 2013 I started teaching my first course online in the training center in iSecur1ty, again this course received amazing feedback for learners, which motivated me to create an English version of this course.

The english course was the most popular and the top paid course in Udemy for almost a year, again the feedback was amazing, therefore I decided to make more courses on ethical hacking, so I released a number of other courses which are doing just as good as that one.

My method of teaching is mostly by example, so I usually start by explaining the theory behind each technique, then I show you how it actually works in a real life situation.

Hands down the best course!

I have gone though over 30 courses and none of courses are as engaging, fun and professional as Zaid's course. Course is very practical, very illustrative and the instructor explains everything he teaches in great detail. Code who teaches is not downloaded from internet. He writes it from scratch and explain every step. This is course is a gold mine if you want to learn Python and Ethical hacking. Thanks Zaid for the effort you have put in this course!


Curtis Houghton

Really enjoying this course so far. It's great to see such a well structured course in an easily understandable format, which isn't easily done when it comes to ethical hacking. Thank you Zaid!! Keep up the good work!
