Welcome to this course, designed to guide you step by step into the world of ethical hacking and cybersecurity.

My name is Hicham Lamsaouri, and I will be your instructor throughout this training. To learn more about my background and experience, you can watch the Introduction video available on this page.

This course is built around a strongly practical, hands‑on approach. Rather than focusing only on theory, you will spend most of your time working through real‑world scenarios that demonstrate how common attack techniques are performed and, more importantly, how they can be detected and prevented. All demonstrations are carried out using Kali Linux and widely used, industry‑standard tools.

The course is designed for beginners with no prior experience, while also gradually advancing to more intermediate and advanced topics. You will start by learning essential cybersecurity and networking concepts, then progress to practical skills such as information gathering, Wi‑Fi security testing, social engineering, phishing techniques, and controlled access testing on Windows systems.

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

• Understand how real attackers think and operate

• Identify common security weaknesses in networks, systems, and user behavior

• Perform an ethical security audit in a controlled and legal environment

• Design better defenses by understanding real attack methods
