Summary of Mastering Red Team:The Complete Cyber Security Course (2024)

Key Concepts and Features:

• Cybersecurity Landscape:
  • No privacy solution (like VPNs) can guarantee complete security.
  • The rise of adversarial AI and quantum computing poses new threats.
  • Nations engage in cyber warfare, often unseen, with advanced malware and collaborative defenses becoming crucial.
• Course Structure:
  • The course is divided into four parts:
    • Cyber Fundamentals: Basics of cyber warfare, CIA triad, types of hackers.
    • Cyber Operations: Simulating threat actor operations and understanding their strategies.
    • Defense Mechanisms: Next-generation defensive technologies and collaborative security measures.
    • Practical Simulations: Real-world attack simulations and methodologies.
• Attack Methodologies:
  • Phishing Campaigns: Utilizing reverse proxy tools (like Evilginx) to bypass two-factor authentication and capture credentials.
  • Active Directory Exploits: Understanding the structure and vulnerabilities of Active Directory, including the use of tools like BloodHound for mapping user permissions and identifying attack paths.
  • Pass-the-Hash Attacks: Leveraging NTLM hashes to authenticate as users without needing their passwords.
  • Golden Ticket Attacks: Creating forged Kerberos tickets to impersonate any user, including domain administrators.
• Tools and Technologies:
