Hands-on ethical hacking and bug bounty labs: recon, SQL injection, Burp Suite, WPScan, Kali Linux and DVWA
What you'll learn
Set up a complete penetration testing lab with VMware, Kali Linux, Metasploitable and DVWA
Perform professional-grade reconnaissance and OSINT on any web target
Enumerate subdomains and virtual hosts using Gobuster, FFUF and certificate transparency
Find origin IP addresses hidden behind Cloudflare
Exploit SQL injection, command injection, CSRF, file inclusion and file upload vulnerabilities
Brute force web application logins with Burp Suite and Hydra
Enumerate and exploit WordPress sites with WPScan
Chain multiple vulnerabilities into a full compromise
Use automated scanners (WMAP, ZAP) effectively without relying on them
Apply a repeatable methodology to bug bounty programs and CTF challenges
Requirements
A computer with at least 8GB RAM and 50GB free disk space
No prior hacking, Linux, or programming experience needed
Basic familiarity with using a computer and web browser
Willingness to set up virtual machines (fully guided in the course)
Free TryHackMe account for the optional practice challenges
Description
This course involves the use of artificial intelligence tools.
Learn practical web application penetration testing from scratch - no prior hacking experience required.
This course skips the theory dumps and puts you straight into a real Kali Linux lab. You'llbuild your own testing environment withVMware, Metasploitable and DVWA, then work through the exact reconnaissance and exploitation workflow professional penetration testers andbug bounty huntersuse every day.
Most beginner courses spend twenty minutes onreconnaissance. This one spends an entire section on it - because in real engagements and bug bounty programs, recon is where findings actually come from. You'll learn OSINT, technology stack fingerprinting, historical link discovery, security header analysis, ASN and IP range enumeration, acquisition mapping, and how to find origin IP addresses hiding behind Cloudflare.
WHAT YOU'LL DO IN THIS COURSE
Build a complete pentesting lab (VMware, Kali Linux, Metasploitable, DVWA)
Run full reconnaissance: OSINT, tech stack, hidden directories, monitoring
Enumerate subdomains with Gobuster, FFUF, Amass and certificate transparency
Perform DNS enumeration and DNS bruteforcing
Run automated vulnerability scans with WMAP and OWASP ZAP
Brute force login forms with Burp Suite and Hydra
Exploit command injection on both Linux and Windows targets
Understand and exploit CSRF, file inclusion (LFI/RFI) and file upload flaws
Perform SQL injection at low, medium and high security levels
Attack WordPress with WPScan and exploit CMS Made Simple
Chain multiple vulnerabilities together for full compromise
Test your skills on real TryHackMe rooms after each major topic
Every technique is demonstrated live against legal, intentionally vulnerable targets you set up yourself. No hand-waving, no skipped steps.
By the end you'll have a working methodology you can apply to bug bounty programs, CTFs, or your first junior penetration testing role.
LEGAL & ETHICAL NOTICE
Every technique in this course is taught for ethical hacking and authorized penetration testing only. Use these tools exclusively on networks you own or have explicit written permission to test. Unauthorized wireless attacks are illegal in most countries and carry serious criminal penalties.
30-DAY MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE
Backed by Udemy's 30-day no-questions-asked refund policy. If you're not satisfied - get a full refund. Zero risk.
Who this course is for
Complete beginners who want to break into web application security
Aspiring bug bounty hunters who need a reconnaissance methodology
IT professionals, developers and sysadmins who want to understand how their apps get attacked
Students preparing for eJPT, PNPT or CEH-style practical assessments
Anyone who has watched hacking tutorials but never built a real lab
