Roadmap

Learn how to jailbreak an AI by prompt-injecting a real language model to leak its hidden system prompt and abuse its internal tool. A hands-on OWASP LLM01 and LLM06 lab you solve from the Attack Terminal with curl.

Hunting without shipping detections is a treadmill. You'll score a program on the Hunting Maturity Model, run a purple-team test with Atomic Red Team, measure the coverage gap, and pick metrics a leader funds instead of vanity counts. 🏆

A hash-based rule is stale in hours. You'll write a real YARA rule for files and memory and a real Sigma rule for logs, map both to ATT&CK, then convert the Sigma to your SIEM in one command. Hunt once, detect forever. 🛡️

An indicator is not intelligence. You'll enrich five raw IOCs with VirusTotal, GreyNoise and WHOIS, score confidence, kill the noise, and keep the durable cluster. Then record it as a MISP event and a STIX pattern. 🛡️

A feed of hashes is not intelligence. You'll run the analyst's craft: write the requirements that steer collection, map an adversary on the Diamond Model, and turn it into a hunt before any alarm fires. 🎯

Practice custom wordlist password cracking on a real target. A four-person game studio left an old database export on their website, and the passwords behind it were never in anybody's leak, so rockyou.txt will not touch them. Everything you need is already published on the studio's own pages. Uses John the Ripper and zip2john.

Kali Linux is not a movie prop. It is the free, Debian-based system that ships with hundreds of security tools, the one professionals reach for on day one. Meet the distro behind the screen. ⚡

Installing Kali sounds scary until you learn the trick pros use: a virtual machine with snapshots. Break anything, click once, and you are back to a clean system. Set it up the safe way before your first scan. 🛡️

Your brand-new Kali is already out of date the moment it boots. One command keeps every tool current, and skipping it is why beginners' exploits silently fail. Learn the first thing to run on a fresh install. ⚙️

The Kali desktop is friendly, but the real power is the shell underneath it. Learn to read the prompt, move at speed, and bend the terminal to your will. This is where every command in the course gets typed. 🐉

Opening Kali's menu for the first time is overwhelming: category after category of tools. The secret is that experts ignore almost all of them. Learn how the toolkit is organized and which few actually matter. 🗂️

In The Matrix Reloaded, Trinity's on-screen hack used Nmap, a real port scanner you already have in Kali. Before any attack, you map what is listening. Run your first scan and read what a target quietly reveals. 🔭

The password you think is strong might fall in seconds to the right tool. Kali ships the same web and password crackers used in real tests. See how they work, and why length beats complexity every time. 🔥

Metasploit turns a known weakness into access with a few commands, which is exactly why defenders must understand it. You will fire your first exploit safely, at a target built for it, and see what landing access really looks like. 💥
