Discover the power of Nmap for network scanning. This course covers everything from basic packet analysis to advanced scanning techniques, preparing you for real-world security tasks. Gain hands-on experience with Nmap and Wireshark.

This course offers a comprehensive journey into network scanning, focusing on Nmap as the primary tool. You’ll start by understanding the basics of packet analysis, network structures, and the tools used for inspecting traffic. As the course progresses, you will delve into network sniffing and learn to identify and resolve issues commonly encountered in packet analysis. The key to success in this course is mastering the fundamentals, which will then lay the groundwork for advanced techniques. Building on this foundational knowledge, the course takes you through a detailed analysis of port scanning with Nmap. The course then introduces advanced techniques such as stealthy TCP ACK and SYN scans, and ICMP-based scans. You will develop a deeper understanding of Nmap’s capabilities, from using the Nmap Scripting Engine (NSE) for automation to conducting reconnaissance with Nmap. By the end of the course, you will be equipped to use Nmap like a pro, able to conduct complex security assessments, scan web servers, detect firewalls, and more. The course includes hands-on exercises using Wireshark to visualize network traffic and analyze real network packets. You will also be introduced to the ethical and legal considerations of performing port scans. This course is designed for network security professionals, penetration testers, and IT enthusiasts who want to learn how to perform advanced network scans using Nmap. It is ideal for individuals with a basic understanding of networking and packet analysis. No prior experience with Nmap is required, but familiarity with networking concepts will be beneficial. The course takes a hands-on approach with a blend of theory and practical exercises. You'll be guided through step-by-step tutorials that cover both basic and advanced network scanning techniques. Each module features real-world case studies and examples to ensure practical knowledge that can be applied immediately. This course is based on Nmap Masterclass, by Taifun Mamedov.
