Welcome to The Anatomy of a Cyber Attack. 1
My name is Jason Dion and I'm going to 2
be your guide into the malicious mind of 3
the cyber attacker. I'm going to show you 4
the methodology, the tools, and techniques 5
used in the exploitation of your 6
networks and systems. This is going to be 7
a great introduction to the importance 8
of cybersecurity through both theory and 9
hands-on examples. This course is 10
designed for all IT personnel, and 11
provides a great overview for the need 12
of cybersecurity through hands-on 13
examples of network and system 14
exploitation. This course is designed to 15
be fun, entertaining, and engaging. We're 16
going to use Kali Linux, as our attack 17
platform, which is a common choice among 18
penetration testers, ethical hackers, and 19
malicious actors. For our victim 20
platforms, we're going to use Windows and 21
Linux systems allowing us to understand 22
the vulnerabilities of both of these 23
operating environments. In order to keep 24
our lab environments secure from the 25
Internet and the Internet secure from us, 26
we're going to use VirtualBox, a free 27
virtualization software, in order to 28
build our lab and keep all of the 29
virtual machines in an isolated virtual 30
network. We're going to cover a lot of 31
ground throughout the course. For many, 32
this will be your first exposure to the 33
world of cyber security. For others, this 34
may simply be a continuation of your 35
previous IT experience. Regardless, I know 36
everyone is going to learn something 37
from this course as we dissect the 38
threat in The Anatomy of a Cyber Attack.
