Glimpse into this series: Season 3: Exploitation, Forensics & AdvancedDefense Episode 1: DDoS Unleashed: Hands-on Flood AttacksDescription: Witness and understand Denial-of-Service attacks! Thispractical session simulates a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack byconfiguring an FTP server on Windows and launching a flood attack using KaliLinux's hping3. Observe system impact andthe importance of proactive monitoring. Episode 2: Session Hijacking 101: Man-in-the-Middlewith ARP Spoofing Description: Intercept credentials in action! Thisepisode demonstrates session hijacking through a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM)attack using ARP spoofing and credential sniffing tools like dsniff on Kali Linux. Learn to interceptunencrypted login credentials and understand the risks of insecurecommunication. Episode 3: Hacking Windows: Generating Payloads withMetasploit Description: Master system exploitation! Learn to generate acustom payload using the Metasploit Framework (msfvenom)on Kali Linux, deliver it to a Windows target, and execute post-exploitationactivities through a Meterpreter session (e.g., sysinfo,hashdump, screenshot). Episode 4: Real-world Exploitation: System Compromisewith njRAT Description: Dive into a full system exploitation scenario!This episode demonstrates compromising a Windows Server using the remote accesstrojan (RAT) njRAT. You'll learn to download, install, configure, generate amalicious payload, share it, and then control the victim machine, includingkeylogging. Episode 5: Malware Unpacked: Hands-on Analysis &Reverse Engineering Description: Dissect malware like a pro! Thispractical session provides hands-on experience in malware analysis and reverseengineering using tools like PeStudio (for string analysis, imports, VirusTotalindicators) and EXEinfo PE (for byte analysis and graphs). Analyze a ransomwaresample in a controlled environment. Episode 6: Phishing in Action: AI-Driven SocialEngineering & Detection Description: Understand and detect phishingattacks! This episode integrates AI (ChatGPT) for creating persuasive phishingemails, using tools like TheFatRat to generate undetectable payloads. You'lllearn how social engineering works, how to deliver payloads, and how toinvestigate suspicious emails using SysTools EML Viewer. Episode 7: AI in Reconnaissance & Scanning:Smarter Attack & Defense Description: Explore the cutting edge ofnetwork security! This episode demonstrates running network scanning exercisesusing AI-driven security tools (Nmap with ChatGPT). Learn how AI enhances IPdiscovery, host detection, port scanning (SYN, UDP, ICMP Echo, Xmas, Maimon,Null), and service enumeration, providing efficient interpretation of scanresults. Episode 8: Log Analysis & Forensics: InvestigatingIncidents with Event Viewer & SIEM Description: Become a digitaldetective! Learn hands-on log analysis for incident response on Windows Server2022. Configure audit policies, simulate login failures, use ChatGPT toidentify event IDs (e.g., 4624, 4625), and analyze logs using Event Viewer.We'll also cover installing and configuring Splunk (a SIEM) for parsing andcategorizing network event data. Episode 9: Ethical Hacking Foundations: Concepts, Laws& Frameworks Description: Understand the blueprint of cybersecurity!This episode covers the core principles of InfoSec (CIA Triad), what ethicalhacking entails, key cyber laws and regulations (GDPR, HIPAA), structuredattacker models like the Cyber Kill Chain and MITRE ATT&CK, and fundamentalsecurity controls. Episode 10: Advanced Cybersecurity Principles: Beyondthe Basics Description: Deepen your understanding of securityprinciples! Explore concepts like least privilege, separation of duties,defense in depth, security by design, encryption, hashing, and the three typesof security controls (preventive, detective, corrective). Learn how theseprinciples form a resilient and auditable security architecture.
