Curriculum

Introduction to Linux Server Security

This introductory section lays the groundwork for the rest of the course. The "Introduction" lecture provides an overview of the course objectives and the importance of Linux server security. "Host Enumeration" teaches you how to discover and catalog the services running on a target server, while "Web Enumeration" focuses on identifying vulnerabilities in web applications running on the server, preparing you for more advanced exploitation techniques.

Securing & Exploiting SSH Connections

This section dives into the critical aspect of SSH security. The "SSH Attack" lecture demonstrates common SSH vulnerabilities and how attackers attempt to gain unauthorized access. "Got Root?" explores techniques used to elevate privileges within a compromised system, emphasizing the importance of strong password policies and regular security updates.

Web Application Penetration Testing

This section focuses on the security of web applications running on Linux servers. The "Web Exploitation (Login form)" lecture explores common vulnerabilities in login forms and how attackers can exploit them to gain access. The "Local File Inclusion" lecture covers another critical web application vulnerability, demonstrating how attackers can gain control of the server through manipulating file inclusion mechanisms. This section emphasizes the importance of secure coding practices and regular security audits.
