_________________________________________________________________________

Here Is Everything You Will Learn In This Complete Course:

In this hands-on course, you will learn Python right starting from scratch to the level where you can build almost anything with it, be it a fully functional database oriented web application or an automation tool.

This course will teach you Python right from scratch from a very basic level and will gradually move you towards more advanced topics.

We not just cover all the Python basics but also the most popular Python libraries such as Django, Flask, Tkinter & Selenium.

The Complete Course is divided into 11 Major sections.

Here is a brief description of what you will learn in each section.

Section 1: Python.

This section covers all the basics of Python, starting right from installing the required tools to covering topics like mathematical operators, strings, accepting user input, string operations, variables, conditionals like if, elif, control structures such as while & for loop, functions, modules & packages, lists, file handling, OOP in Python, regular expressions. Almost every basic Python concept is covered in this section.

Section 2: Make GUI In Python Using Tkinter.

Once done with the basics, we know learn the Tkinter library which allows us to create desktop based applications with Python. We learn how to create GUI apps using Tkinter & Python and also build a fully functional Desktop app i.e a calculator.

Section 3: Making Database Oriented Desktop Apps With PostgreSQL.

Making a simple desktop app alone isn’t sufficient, it needs a backend database to store some data. To do the same we learn how to connect our desktop apps to the backend. In this section we build a student management system software using Python, Tkinter to design the GUI & PostgreSQL database to store the data for our application in the backend.

Section 4: Data Analysis.

Python is being widely used in the data science domain and hence it is important to learn how to use Python to analyse data. Hence in this section we learn how to use the tools and techniques used to perform data analysis. We start off by learning the Pandas library which is used to perform data analysis and all the basic concepts like DataFrames, Reindexing, Indexing, Broadcasting and also learn how to perform data plotting and visualisation with the Matplotlib library.

Section 5: Python Web Framework Django.

This section will teach you how to build full-stack web applications with Python & Django. Django is one of the most popular web frameworks for Python and is used to program the back-end side of out web app. In this section we will learn Django right from basics and will build a simple book store web application. We will learn how to create models, how to route URL requests, how to create different views for our web app, how to integrate HTML templates and a lot more.

Section 6: Python Web Framework Flask.

Flask is a micro web framework for Python used to build simpler web apps. If you want to develop some simple and small websites, you can do so using Flask. In this section we cover flask basics suck as Routing, Dynamic URLs, Templates, passing data to the server & site cookies.

Section 7: REST APIs Using Django Rest Framework.

In this section we learn how to build our own REST APIs using the Django Rest Framework. If you already have a Django web app built, you can create API endpoints for it using the Django Rest Framework. In this section we will build a fully functional REST API with features such as search, filtering & authentication.

Section 8: Web Scraping in Python.

Python can also be used to crawl websites and gather data from it. In this section we learn the same, we build a web crawler which crawls up any website of our choice and gathers links from it. Web crawlers are used by many search engines to rank websites and in this section we learn how to build a smaller version of it using Python.

Section 9: Automation with Python & Selenium.

Python is widely used for automation as well, especially for testing. Selenium web driver is one such tool which has been built for automating tests but the same can be used for automating other browser based tasks as well. In this section we learn how to automate tasks using Selenium and will also build a Facebook Bot that automatically posts status for us.

Section 10: Best Practices: Writing Clean & Efficient Python Code.

To be a good Python engineer/ developer you need to know how to write clean, concise and efficient Python code. In this section we learn some of the best practice that you must follow while writing Python code so.

Section 11: Image Processing With Python & OpenCV.

Python can also be used to process and manipulate images and videos. In this section we learn how to use OpenCV library with Python to manipulate images. We learn some interesting things like capturing webcam video, tracking images from a live video, different image thresholding techniques, image blurring, averaging and Gaussain filtering.

Taught By:

Andrei Neagoie is the instructor of the highest rated Development courses on Udemy as well as one of the fastest growing. His graduates have moved on to work for some of the biggest tech companies around the world like Apple, Google, Amazon, JP Morgan, IBM, UNIQLO etc… He has been working as a senior software developer in Silicon Valley and Toronto for many years, and is now taking all that he has learned, to teach programming skills and to help you discover the amazing career opportunities that being a developer allows in life.

Having been a self taught programmer, he understands that there is an overwhelming number of online courses, tutorials and books that are overly verbose and inadequate at teaching proper skills. Most people feel paralyzed and don’t know where to start when learning a complex subject matter, or even worse, most people don’t have $20,000 to spend on a coding bootcamp. Programming skills should be affordable and open to all. An education material should teach real life skills that are current and they should not waste a student’s valuable time.   Having learned important lessons from working for Fortune 500 companies, tech startups, to even founding his own business, he is now dedicating 100% of his time to teaching others valuable software development skills in order to take control of their life and work in an exciting industry with infinite possibilities.

Andrei promises you that there are no other courses out there as comprehensive and as well explained. He believes that in order to learn anything of value, you need to start with the foundation and develop the roots of the tree. Only from there will you be able to learn concepts and specific skills(leaves) that connect to the foundation. Learning becomes exponential when structured in this way.

Taking his experience in educational psychology and coding, Andrei’s courses will take you on an understanding of complex subjects that you never thought would be possible.

See you inside the course!

Who this course is for:

• Anyone who wants to master Python 3
• Anyone who wants to learn to code
• Anyone looking to level up their skills and master a new programming language
• Anyone who wants to get into: Web Development, Machine Learning, Data Science and other hot job markets

Description

Welcome this comprehensive course on Ethical Hacking! This course assumes you have NO prior knowledge in hacking and by the end of it you’ll be able to  hack systems like black-hat hackers and secure them like security experts!

This course is highly practical but it won’t neglect the theory, so we’ll start with ethical hacking basics and the different fields in penetration testing, installing the needed software (works on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X) and then we’ll dive and start hacking systems straight away. From here onwards you’ll learn everything by example, by analysing and exploiting computer systems such as networks, servers, clients, websites …..etc, so we’ll never have any boring dry theoretical lectures.

The course is divided into a number of sections, each section covers a penetration testing / hacking field, in each of these sections you’ll first learn how the target system works, the weaknesses of this system, and how to practically exploit theses weaknesses and hack into it, not only that but you’ll also learn how to secure this system from the discussed attacks. This course will take you from a beginner to a more advanced level by the time you finish, you will have knowledge about most penetration testing fields.

The course is divided into four main sections:

1. Network Hacking – This section will teach you how to test the security of networks, both wired and wireless. First, you will learn some  basic network terminology, how networks work,  and how devices communicate with each other. Then it will branch into three sub sections:

• Pre-connection attacks: in this subsection you’ll learn what can you do before even connecting to a network, and even before having internet access; you’ll start by learning how to gather information about the networks around you, discover the devices connected to them, and how to control connections around you (ie: deny/allow devices from connecting to networks) even without knowing the password of the target network.
• Gaining Access: Now that you gathered information about the networks around you, in this subsection you will learn how to crack the key and get the password to your target network weather it uses WEP, WPA or even WPA2.
• Post Connection attacks: Now that you have the key, you can connect to the target network, in this subsection you will learn a number of powerful techniques that allow you to gather comprehensive information about the connected devices, see anything they do on the internet (such as login information, passwords, visited urls, images, videos ….etc), redirect requests, inject evil code in loaded pages and much more! All the attacks here work against both wireless and wired networks. You will also learn how to create a fake WiFi network, attract users to connect to it and use all of the above techniques against the connected clients.

2. Gaining Access – In this section you will learn two main approaches to gain full control or hack computer systems:

• Server Side Attacks:  In this subsection you will learn how to gain full access to computer systems without the need for user interaction. You will learn how to gather useful information about a target computer system such as its operating system, open ports, installed services, then you’ll learn how to use this information to discover weaknesses and vulnerabilitiesand exploit them to gain full control over the target. Finally you will learn how to generate different types of reports for your discoveries.
• Client Side Attacks – If the target system does not contain any weaknesses then the only way to gain access to it is by interacting with the users, in this subsection you’ll learn how to get the target user to install a backdoor on their system without even realising, this is done by hijacking updatesor backdoornig downloadeds on the fly. Not only that but you’ll also learn how to create trojans by backdooring normal files (such as an image or a pdf) and use social engineering to deliver this trojan to the target, to do this you’ll learn how to spoof emails so they appear as if they’re sent from the target’s friend, boss or any email account they’re likely to interact with.

3. Post Exploitation – In this section you will learn how to interact with the systems you compromised so far. You’ll learn how to access the file system (read/write/upload/execute), maintain your access, spy on the target and even use the target computer as a pivot to hack other computer systems.

4. Website / Web Application Hacking – In this section you will learn how websites work, how to gather information about a target website (such as website owner, server location, used technologies ….etc) and how to discover and exploit the following dangerous vulnerabilities to hack into websites:

• File Upload.
• Code Execution.
• Local File Inclusion.
• Remote File Inclusion.
• SQL Injection.
• Cross Site Scripting (XSS).

At the end of each section you will learn how to detect, prevent and secure your system and yourself from the discussed attacks.

All the techniques in this course are practical and work against real systems, you’ll understand the whole mechanism of each technique first, then you’ll learn how to use it to hack into the target system, so by the end of the course you’ll be able to modify the these techniques to launch more powerful attacks, and adopt them to different situations and different scenarios.

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.

NOTE: This course is created for educational purposes only and all the attacks are launched in my own lab or against devices that I have permission to test. 

NOTE: This course is totally a product of Zaid Sabih and no other organisation is associated with it or a certification exam. Although, you will receive a Course Completion Certification from Udemy, apart from that NO OTHER ORGANISATION IS INVOLVED.
