Learn Social Engineering From Scratch

Note: The contents of this course are not covered in any of my other methods except for some basics. Although social engineering is covered in one of my other courses, that course only covers the basics. In contrast, this course







dives much more profound into this topic







covering more techniques, more operating systems, advanced exploitation, advanced post-exploitation, bypassing security, and more!

Welcome to this comprehensive course on Social Engineering! In this course, you will start as a



beginner



with no previous hacking knowledge. By the end, you’ll be at a high level in social engineering, able to hack into



all major operating systems



(



Windows, OS X, Linux, and Android



) like black-hat hackers and secure yourself from hackers.

This course is focused on the



practical side



of social engineering without neglecting the theory. First, you’ll learn how to install the software (on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X). Then, the course is divided into several sections to represent the steps you’d take to successfully hack a target using social engineering.

Learn Social Engineering From Scratch

1. Information Gathering





–



First, before doing anything, you need to know your target; in this section, you’ll learn how to gather information about your target, whether it is a company, website, or just a person. You will learn how to discover anything that is associated with your target, such as websites, links, companies, users, emails, phone numbers, friends, social networks accounts …etc.; you will also learn how to graph all of this information and use it to



build an intelligent attack strategy



.

2. Generating Malware





– Once you have after gathering



rmation about your target and developing andevelopingtrategy, the next step is to create



attractive custom malware



for the target. In this section, you will learn how to generate malicious files (files that execute tasks you want on the target computer); this includes



backdoors, keyloggers, credential harvesters, and more; these



files will work on all operating systems



(Windows, OS X, Linux, and Android)



, you’ll also learn how to



enhance



these files to make them



bypass all anti-virus programs



, and make them



look and function



just like any other file such as an



image or a pdf



,  or even



embed



them in



legitimate Microsoft Office documents



.

3. Delivery Methods





–



Now that you have your custom-made trojan ready, in this section, you will learn several social engineering techniques to deliver it to the target; you will learn how to



create fake websites



that look identical to websites the target trusts,



send emails that appear like they’re coming from people the target beliefs



and use



fake login pages



and



fake updates



to hack into the target, you’ll also learn



advanced social engineering



techniques to lure the prey into visiting a malicious URL and hack into their system without even interacting with them.

4. Post Exploitation





–



In this section, you will learn how to interact with the systems you compromised, whether they use Windows, Linux, OS X, or Android. You’ll learn



how to access the file system



(read/write/upload/execute),



maintain



your access,



escalate



your privileges, spy on the target,



use the target computer as a pivot



to hack other computers, and more! If your target uses Android, you’ll also learn how to



read their messages



,



find



their



location



, access their other accounts (such as



Whatsapp



, Facebook …etc.), and more!

Finally, at the end of the course, you will learn how to protect yourself and your systems from these attacks.

All the attacks in this course are



practical attacks



that



work against real computers; in



each technique, you will



understand the theory behind



it and how it works, and then you’ll learn how to use that technique in a



real-life scenario



so by the end of the course you’ll be able to



modify these techniques



or



combine



them to come up with



more powerful attacks



and adapt them to



different scenarios and different operating systems.

With this course, you’ll get



24/7 support



, so if you have any questions, you can post them in the Q&A section, and we’ll respond to you within 15 hours. learn more with
