Episode 10: Web Server Security: Architecture, AttackSurface & Hardening Description: Fortify your web fortress!Understand the architecture of web servers (Apache, Nginx, IIS) and theirextensive attack surface, including misconfigurations, buffer overflows, andDoS flaws. Learn essential hardening techniques like disabling unused services,restricting permissions, and proactive patching.

Episode 9: IDS/IPS Evasion & Deception: PlayingDigital Cat and Mouse Description: Master the art of stealth andcounter-stealth! This episode explores attacker techniques for bypassingIDS/IPS (like protocol tunneling, packet fragmentation, traffic blending) andhow defenders deploy honeypots and deception technologies to lure, detect, andstudy intruders.

Episode 8: Network Traffic Analysis: TCP/IP, UDP, andWireshark Flags Description: Decode network conversations! Learn to use Wireshark to capture and analyze both connection-oriented (TCP) and connectionless (UDP) traffic. We'll examine the TCP three-way handshake (SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK flags) and observe UDP's behavior, understanding how protocolsfunction at the packet level.

Command to generate UDP Traffic: hping3 –2 –c 1000 –i u1000 8.8.8.8

Episode 7: Vulnerability Assessment: Real-timeScanning with Nessus Description: Become a vulnerability hunter! This episode guides you through performing real-time vulnerability scanning of a target machine (Bee-Box) using Nessus. You'll learn to set up Nessus, initiate an advanced scan, interpret severity levels, and explore remediation strategies.

Episode 6: Firewall & Proxy Bypassing: Nikto forEvasion & Vulnerability Scanning Description: Sneak past defenses! Learn how to use Nikto to scan web servers for known vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. Discover evasion tactics like spoofing the User-Agent header, using evasion flags, and employing custom path mutation to bypass intrusion detection systems.

Commands:

1. nikto -h http://34.56.156.111.

2. nikto -h http://34.56.156.111 -useragent 'Mozilla/5.0'

3. nikto -h http://34.56.156.111 -evasion 1,4

4. echo -e "/admin\n/config\n/secret" > custompaths.txt

5. nikto -h http://34.56.156.111 -mutate 5 -mutate-options custompaths.txt

Episode 5: Firewall & Proxy Bypassing: Metasploitfor Web Recon Description: Think like an attacker! In this lab-focusedepisode, use Metasploit to perform advanced web server fingerprinting, scan forHTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), check for WebDAV vulnerabilities, anddiscover hidden directories. Understand how these techniques help attackersidentify initial entry points.

DHCP Dynamics: Implementing a DHCP Server in WindowsServer 2022 Description: Automate IP address assignment! Learn how toinstall and configure a DHCP server on Windows Server 2022. We'll cover settingup scopes, defining IP ranges, and verifying automatic IP distribution toclient machines like Kali Linux.

Episode 3: DNS Demystified: Installing a DNS Server in Windows Server 2022 Description: Get fluent in DNS! This episode walks you through installing and configuring a DNS server on Windows Server 2022. You'll learn to set up zones, create host records (A, MX, CNAME), and prepare Kali Linux as a DNS client to test name resolution.
