What you'll learn

  • Launch advanced network attacks like MITM and DNS spoofing
  • Bypass router security using MAC spoofing techniques
  • Exploit vulnerabilities in critical network protocols
  • Execute denial-of-service attacks to test network resilience
  • Manipulate DHCP servers to disrupt network functionality
  • Crack weak cryptographic methods to expose plaintext data
  • Manually craft exploits for network applications from scratch
  • Implement security measures to defend networks against attacks

This course takes your ethical hacking and penetration testing skills to the next level by diving deep into advanced network attacks, showing you how to bypass security measures, exploit vulnerabilities, and even craft your own network-based exploits. Plus you'll learn how to play defence by protecting your network security.

Here at ZTM we also like to do, not just watch. That's why in this course you’ll get hands-on experience with real-world hacking techniques, including MITM (Man In The Middle) attacks, DNS spoofing, and router exploits. We’ll even go beyond automated tools, teaching you how to reverse-engineer applications and write your own attack scripts.

That means this isn’t your beginner-friendly ethical hacking course (go here for that).

By the end of this course, you’ll have the skills needed to conduct sophisticated penetration tests and stay ahead in the cybersecurity field. If you’re ready to push your hacking knowledge further, let’s get started.

Here's What This Advanced Ethical Hacking Bootcamp Covers

Networking Fundamentals - Understand how networking works on a deeper level. This will create your foundation for learning about network hacking & security.

Denial of Service Attack – Understand how DDoS attacks work, then execute your own using a custom-built DoS tool.

Bypassing Router Whitelist/Blacklist – Learn how MAC spoofing can bypass security filters and gain unauthorized access.

MITM Attack – Intercept network traffic by placing yourself between two devices, exposing unencrypted data.

DNS Attacks – Manipulate DNS to redirect traffic and create stealthy backdoor access with DNS tunneling.

Vulnerabilities in Protocols/Network Components – Exploit newly discovered weaknesses in network protocols, including critical IPv6 flaws.

DHCP Attacks – Starve a DHCP server of available IP addresses or deploy a rogue server to manipulate network traffic.

Router Attacks – Target the most vulnerable network device: the router. Exploit common weaknesses like default credentials.

Weak Cryptography – Crack outdated encryption to reveal sensitive information transmitted over the network.

Manually Exploiting Applications Over the Network – The ultimate hacking challenge: you'll build your own exploit to compromise a vulnerable application remotely.

Protecting the Network – Learn how to defend against these attacks using intrusion detection systems, custom tools, and best practices.

This course, like all Zero To Mastery courses, will be constantly updated with new lectures and resources as the network hacking landscape changes.

That means this will be your go-to place to find the latest network hacking & security best practices and resources anytime in the future.
