Description
All *NEW CONTENT* for 2021!

This is the course I wish I had.

I’ve been scouring Youtube and Udemy for a complete course that can walk beginners through building a Cyber Range, from start to finish, which includes a Windows Active Directory environment, vulnerable web apps and a full featured SIEM such as the ELK Stack. There is a terrible shortage of high quality teaching in this subject. So what did I do? I marshalled my years of expertise and training to build the best resource for building an ethical hacking cyber attack and defense lab! I hope to see more training like this on Udemy!

This course is a 100% hands-on workshop. There are no PowerPoint slides.

By the end of the course you will have the confident feeling and satisfaction of knowing EXACTLY how modern attacks take place on corporate networks.

We cover everything, nothing is left out. For example here is a sample of the tools and technologies you will use and learn as you progress through the course:

Zeek (Formerly Bro, Industry standard Network Metadata solution)

Suricata (IDS and Network Security Monitoring)

Stenographer (Google’s robust full packet capture solution)

Wireshark (Analyze packets and protocols)

Network Miner (Extract files from packet captures)

Wazuh (Powerful open-source EDR)

Beats (Log shipper for Windows Event logs and more)

OSQuery (Well-known awesome endpoint visibility tool)

Sysmon + Sysmon-Modular (Endpoint visibility on steroids)

Strelka (Automatically detects and analyzes malware and shoots to YARA for analysis)

pfsense (Open-source firewall)

Burp Suite

Nmap

And much much much more…

I am constantly adding to and improving this course it will not get outdated.

Once you enroll you will be grandfathered into a lifetime of updates.

This course also provides the perfect backdrop to any other ethical hacking courses you take on Udemy because you will have a safe, isolated, realistic environment to hack, detect and block adversary actions. You will be truly building the ultimate learning resource for ethical hacking! So what are you doing still reading this? Jump inside and let’s start building your cyber range!

Who this course is for:
New Security Operations Center Analysts (“SOC”) and Insident Responders
New and Experienced Network and Web Application Penetration Testers
Bug Bounty Hunters who hunt targets on HackerOne and BugCrowd
Red Teamers who use Cobalt Strike, Metasploit or PowerShell Empire 3
Security Engineers who want to know how to stand up attack and defense infrastructure
Information Security Managers and Executives who want hands-on details about how breaches occur (and can be detected and prevented)
Anyone who wants a hands-on practical free lab to prepare for the Security+, CEH or OSCP exams (without the stupid 60 day limitations cloud vendors slap you with)
