Advance your cybersecurity automation skills by scripting reconnaissance, web application attacks, and password cracking techniques. Learn to leverage bash for efficient data parsing, vulnerability scanning, and credential attacks.
This course focuses on automating key penetration testing tasks using bash scripting. You will learn to parse and report on Nmap scans, automate web application attacks, and implement advanced password cracking workflows. The course covers practical scripting strategies for reconnaissance, exploitation, and credential attacks, empowering you to streamline and scale your security assessments. The course uses real-world scenarios and practical scripting examples to demonstrate how bash can automate complex security tasks. Learners progress from reconnaissance automation to advanced attack scripting, building confidence and expertise in each area. This course is part two of a three-course Specialization designed to build a complete and cohesive understanding of the subject. While it offers valuable skills on its own, you'll gain the most benefit by progressing through all three courses as a structured learning journey. This course is based on Linux Shell Scripting for Hackers, by Valentine G. Nachi and Donald A. Tevault. Packt is one of the world's most prolific publishers of cutting-edge technical content.
