Network protocols, attacks and Active Directory. TCP/IP deep dive, Nmap NSE, MITM, Kerberoasting, BloodHound and Pivoting via Chisel and Ligolo-ng. Requires FC-02.
Why network security is a must-have
Numbers that explain everything
After the course you will be able to
Not theory — concrete techniques and tools you can demonstrate in an interview
Real attacks in the course
Every tool in the course is analyzed through real attacks and incidents
Stuxnet — attack on Iranian centrifuges
The first cyberweapon in history spread through networks and USB. It destroyed 20% of Iran's nuclear centrifuges. It used four zero-day vulnerabilities simultaneously — unprecedented.
Target — 40M cards via HVAC contractor
Hackers infiltrated Target's network through HVAC contractor credentials. Network segmentation was absent — they reached POS terminals and stole 40 million cards.
Dan Kaminsky — saved the internet from DNS catastrophe
A researcher discovered a critical DNS protocol vulnerability that could redirect all internet traffic. He secretly coordinated an emergency patch for all vendors in 30 days.
