The first penetration testing section in this course is going to be the network hacking section.
The reason why I chose to start with this is because everything you think of it is connected to a network.
So whether your target is a personal computer, whether it's a server, whether it's a company,
or even if it's just a website.
All of these systems are actually connected to a network.
Literally, when you just connect to the Internet, you're connecting to a network
because the Internet is just a really really big network.
So it is very important that you understand how networks work
and how devices communicate with each other, before we actually move into the next sections.
So this section is actually going to be divided into three sub sections.
In the first sub section, we're going to talk about all of the attacks that you can do before connecting to a network.
So you literally just have a computer with a network interface, possibly a Wi-Fi adapter
and we're going to see what can you do now before even connecting to anything.
In the second sub section, I'm gonna show you how to crack Wi-Fi keys and gain access to Wi-Fi networks.
Whether they use WEP, WPA or WPA2.
Once you have the access, you can move to the third section, which will apply for both,
Wi-Fi and wired networks.
All of the attacks that you'll learn in the third sub section apply whenever you are able to connect to the network,
once you're able to gain access to the network.
And here is where the real fun starts, because you're going to learn a number of powerful attacks,
that will allow you to intercept the connections in the network and capture everything sent in it,
including usernames, passwords, URLs, chat messages and so on.
Not only that, you'll also be able to modify data as it's being sent in the air.
So you'll be able to control the requests, surf people take updates, inject evil code
into the pages that they load and so many other cool things.
So everything in the third section will apply for both Wi-Fi and wired networks.
