Linux is, just like Windows or MacOS, an operating system (OS). And a very common one at that!

Kali Linux is a special distribution of Linux, packed with cybersecurity tools.

Hacking is illegal in the wild, but in this course, we will do hacking in a contained lab environment. Going through the acts of hacking targets yourself will help you understand how real hacks work and to get a few steps ahead of the actual hackers.

Running life-like experiments, hacking contests, and test scenarios on IT infrastructure helps organisations find weaknesses in their systems. Blue Team protects the assets of the organisation while Red Team attacks.

A Security Operations Center (SOC) is where organisations monitor and analyse security risks. SOCs have people and processes in place to monitor and act when security is breached.
