Hacker vs Defender: Linux Servers

Ever wondered how hackers exploit vulnerabilities in systems—and how you can stop them?

This beginner-friendly course is your perfect starting point to understand the basics of ethical hacking and cybersecurity. You’ll dive into real-world techniques used by attackers to exploit weaknesses in systems, such as insecure file transfers (FTP), remote access protocols (SSH), and hidden or exposed files on servers. We’ll explain everything in simple terms, so even if you’ve never touched a command line or heard of these protocols, you’ll feel confident and ready to learn.

Through step-by-step explanations and hands-on challenges, you’ll not only learn how these attacks happen but also start exploring how to defend against them. This course focuses on building a solid foundation, giving you the knowledge and skills to recognize threats and protect systems effectively.

What will you learn?

• What FTP, SSH, web shells, and directory traversal are—and why they matter in cybersecurity.
• How hackers think and the tools they use to exploit common vulnerabilities.
• How data exposure happens and how attackers use tools like Gobuster to find sensitive files.
• How directory traversal attacks allow access to restricted areas and how to spot them.

What makes this course different?
We keep it simple, practical, and beginner-friendly. There’s no technical jargon or overwhelming complexity. You’ll practice using real-world examples and exercises designed to make learning interactive and fun. By the end of this course, you’ll have a clear understanding of basic cyberattacks and a strong foundation to continue your journey into cybersecurity.
