Improve your cyber hygiene by learning how to see and think like a hacker with former technology resident Phillip Stearns.

In this master class, we get familiar with the WiFi hacking and Network scanning tools that come packaged with Kali Linux. We’ll learn how to identify and secure common WiFi vulnerabilities by launching attacks on our in-lab network.

Once we’ve gained access to the WiFi network, we’ll explore tools like Wireshark to view traffic on our network and Nmap to discover what devices are connected and whether they are running vulnerable services.

Price: $50
