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.

What's the bottom line?

Who is Zero To Mastery for?

You'll fit right in if:

You're struggling to make progress using free tutorials that aren't giving you the structure or clear path to achieving your goals.
You don't want to learn alone. You want personalized feedback, support, and motivation from instructors and mentors and want to be part of a supportive community of like-minded individuals.
You want to learn by doing. You're excited to embrace the struggle of making mistakes that comes with building fun real-world projects you'll be proud of.
You're sick of outdated & boring tutorials. We pride ourselves on having the most up-to-date (and fun!) courses in the industry so that you're not wasting your time and only learning what matters right now.
You can't afford to spend $8,000+ on over priced bootcamps and colleges. We got you. We'll help you go from zero to hired for less than the cost of a cup of coffee a day.

We're not for you if:

You're just going to watch the lessons and take no action. Our courses are all about getting your hands dirty with exercises and putting what you're learning into action by building fun and impressive real-world projects.
You're not ready to invest in yourself or just looking for the cheapest way to learn. If that's you, no problem, use our free Learn to Code + AI & Get Hired guide.
You don't think fundamentals matter anymore because AI can do everything for you. Understanding the fundamentals and how things really work will always be important.
You think AI is going to replace you and think there's nothing you can do about it. Well... if you keep wasting time not learning AI tools & skills, you're probably right. Or you embrace them, and 2x your productivity (and probably income too!).
