Course Description
This course provides comprehensive and practical training in network auditing, penetration testing, vulnerability analysis, and offensive security, using Kali Linux as the primary platform. Students will learn to operate in real-world security assessment environments using professional techniques for reconnaissance, scanning, exploitation, traffic analysis, and post-exploitation.
Kali Linux is the industry-standard distribution for penetration testing and cybersecurity, offering hundreds of advanced tools for research, auditing, digital forensics, and red team operations. During the course, participants will work with hands-on labs, vulnerable environments, and recognized methodologies, building the skills necessary to operate as a cybersecurity technician, entry-level penetration tester, or offensive security analyst.
Target Audience
This course is geared towards:
- Technical profiles that wish to get into pentesting, offensive security and ethical hacking.
- System and network administrators seeking to strengthen the security of their infrastructures.
- SOC analysts, Blue Team members, or IT professionals who want to understand offensive techniques to improve defense.
- Cybersecurity students who require practical experience with professional methodology.
- Candidates starting the path towards security or Linux certifications.
Training Objectives
Upon completion of the training, the student will be able to:
- Use Kali Linux as a professional environment for auditing and penetration testing.
- Applying recognition, scanning, and enumeration techniques to network infrastructures.
- Identify and exploit vulnerabilities in controlled environments.
- Analyze network traffic and detect potential attack vectors.
- Perform basic tests on wireless networks and detect weaknesses.
- Understanding the formal methodology of a professional pentest.
- Perform post-exploitation tasks on Linux systems.
- Prepare professional technical reports, following best practices and standards.
- Act in accordance with the principles of ethical hacking and within the current legal framework
Course Content

- Exploiting insecure services with `Metasploit`
- Generation of payloads and reverse shells
Unit 7 – Wireless Security
- WiFi network monitoring and scanning
- Cracking WPA/WPA2 keys with `aircrack-ng`
- Deauthentication attacks
- Handshake capture
Unit 8 – Reports and best practices
- How to document findings
- Generating technical reports with tools like `Dradis`
- Professional ethics and legality of evidence
- Defensive measures following an audit
- Assessment and practices
- Practical laboratories in each unit
- Access to simulated networks or TryHackMe-type platforms
Final project: Complete audit of a simulated network
Prerequisites
To fully benefit from this course, it is recommended that the participant have:
- Interest in cybersecurity and the operation of computer systems.
- Analytical attitude, investigative curiosity, and problem-solving skills.
- Basic understanding of the general workings of the Internet and systems, even without in-depth knowledge.
- Ethical commitment, understanding the importance of using the techniques learned only in authorized environments.
- Eagerness to learn in a practical way through laboratories and exercises with simulated environments (TryHackMe, vulnerable machines, etc.).
Note: Prior experience in pentesting or using Kali Linux before is not required; the course is designed to guide the student from the fundamentals.
Course is available in English.
Student Access: 8 weeks
