Why take this course?

Note: Although social engineering is covered in one of my other courses, that course only covers the basics where this course dives much deeper in this topic covering more techniques, how to hack more operating systems, advanced exploitation, advanced post exploitation, bypassing security and more!


Welcome to this comprehensive course on Social Engineering! This course assumes you have NO prior knowledge in hacking, it starts with you from scratch and takes you step-by-step to an advanced level. By the end of it you'll be able to hack all major operating systems (windows, Apple Mac OS, Linux and Android) like black-hat hackers and secure yourself from hackers.


This course is highly practical but doesn't neglect the theory, we'll start with basics to teach you how to install the needed software (on Windows, Linux and Apple Mac OS). Then we'll start hacking straight away, you'll learn everything by example, no boring lectures! You will understand the theory behind every attack first and then you'll learn how to use that attack in a practical real life scenario to hack Windows, Linux, Apple Mac OS and Android. 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 adopt them to different scenarios and different operating systems.


The course is divided into a number of sections to represent the steps you'd take to successfully hack a target using social engineering.

1. Information Gathering - First you need to know your target, in this section you'll learn how to gather information about your target whether it is a company, a 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 plot all of this information on a graph and use it to build smart attack strategies.


2. Generating Malware  - Now that you gathered enough information about your target and came up with an attack strategy, the next step is to create custom malware that is attractive to the target. This section will teach you how to create backdoors, keyloggers, credential harvesters and more, these files will work on all operating systems (Windows, Apple Mac OS, 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 a number of 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 send from trusted sources and use fake login pages and fake updates to hack the target. You'll also learn advanced social engineering techniques to lure the target to visit your malicious website without even interacting with them.


4. Post ExploitationIn this section you will learn how to interact with the systems you compromised whether they use Windows, Linux, Apple Mac OS or even 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 then 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.


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.

Notes:

  • 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.

  • This course is totally a product of Zaid Sabih & zSecurity, no other organization is associated with it or a certification exam. Although, you will receive a Course Completion Certification from Udemy, apart from that NO OTHER ORGANIZATION IS INVOLVED.

I am very disappointed. All the modules are outdated, and some are not even the tools used have been archived or discontinued, I would not recommend anyone to purchase it. All the materials and methods are outdated, and there is no attempt to keep the course up to

Lots of details given by the instructor and an excellent way to layout the course to help you concentrate on the task you are doing.

The instructor just skims over the content and doesn't explain anything in detail, moreover the tools he backdoor packages and techniques he uses are already widely known and are easily detected by the antivitus programs.

My God I can’t telllllll you how happpy happy happpyyyy I am with your teaching skills!!! You are a natural instructor and thankfully explain everything you’re doing and not just doing it!! A lot of people have the horrible habit of just explaining how to do something, but not WHY THEY’RE DOING IT haha! And that is so beyond crucial! ?? I am so thankful I bought you’re two courses now (I’ve been watching you on YouTube also where you also slay) I’ve learned so so much knowledge that I was dying to know and spent so much freaking money on soooo many other peoples courses trying to find it and I am just so happy right now haha thanks so much I can’t wait to keep going ??

Very upset! Below expectation! Most of the parts are the same with general ethical hacking course. There is not anything about how to hack IOS devices. Also, most of the tools are outdated and do not work properly. Please completely update this course. I think this will be very beneficial for both you and learners.

High quality course like other courses from this author. A lots of hands-on, very well explained, real-life examples. Thank you.

Even though it says recently updated, he only updated an introduction to a particular section. Nearly all of these videos were created in 2016. The examples given are more of an overview and uses predetermined information. For example, he shows you how to hack http, or he already knows information about the target prior to hacking it e.g. I. P. Address etc. It’s very rare to find a target with open ports in 2023. The basic sysadmin would fix this so it’s really just theory with outdated examples. This stuff is like a rat race meaning the moment an exploit is determined, it’s quickly patched so you are essentially learning what you COULD do IF this stuff/tools like BeEF, metasploitable, etc actually still worked as it did in 2016. The introduction is about as far as it goes as far as hacking into a camera, mic, etc on a mobile device. He literally refers to the intro video for reference and never actually dives deep into hacking cell phones as advertised. It’s good stuff but not practical in 2023 due to things drastically changing since 2016. Lastly, a lot of the videos included are from other courses meaning the same videos in his other courses are in this one. In other words the title say’s social engineering which covers about 20% the other 80% of videos are from his ethical and network hacking courses. He’s very clever at using one video to fit the narrative of his other tutorials. Support sucks also.

The instructor truly breaks everything down into simple steps. This is my first educational experience with ethical hacking and I was worried I wouldn’t be able to keep up, however, I can’t emphasize enough that the instructor is brilliant! Highly recommend!!

Its heaven for someone young hacker enthusiastic like me. But i would give a suggestion that these hacking videos should be provided in relation that the described methods work with latest version of windows,android,mac os etc.

Υπέροχος ο εκπαιδευτής! Τα εξηγεί, τα περιγράφει και τα αναλύει άψογα. Θα επανέλθω όταν ολοκληρώσω το course. Πολύ ωραία δομημένο. Μπράβο. (Greetings from Greece)

most methods of the hacking tools probably outdated, tried to use all the spoofing email methods, but it seems outdated.
