Look inside

Learn ethical hacking through Kali Linux, one of the leading computer security operating systems, so you can find and fix your system’s vulnerabilities. This course shows you how to gather information, detect vulnerabilities, and exploit them using Kali Linux. In just over three hours, you will have all the tools you need to test your own servers and applications for vulnerabilities.

Computer security is one of the fastest-growing fields in technology, and ethical hacking is an important skill for security professionals. With a new attack every 39 seconds, it is essential for security experts to have skills with the most powerful tools for the job. The tools in Kali Linux are commonly used by attackers. These same tools are also used by defenders to help secure their systems. Learning Kali Linux will allow you to secure your system before the attackers get to it.
