Core Competencies

6 Ethical Hacking Skills You Master in 42 Lessons

Six distinct competency areas โ€” building you from a Kali Linux beginner to a capable penetration tester with hands-on tool experience across the full ethical hacking lifecycle.

Kali Linux Mastery

Master the operating system of choice for every serious security professional โ€” Kali Linux. The course dedicates 12 foundational lessons to Kali administration: terminal navigation, sudo, file management, user/group management, SSH, file permissions, process viewing, and network commands. Every subsequent skill is built on this Kali foundation.

Web Exploitation Techniques

Execute real web application attacks in a controlled lab environment. The course covers six major exploit types: backdoor planting via remote code execution, Local File Inclusion (LFI) using Burp Suite across two lessons, OS command injection for website takeover, SQL injection (SQLi), and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) โ€” the five vulnerability categories that dominate web application security testing.

Information Gathering & OSINT

Learn the reconnaissance techniques used at the beginning of every professional penetration test: information gathering with Nmap, DNS enumeration, leveraging Shodan.io for internet-wide device discovery, subdomain enumeration, and email/information extraction using SFcrawler. These six lessons build the intelligence-gathering skills that make exploitation possible.

Vulnerability Assessment โ€” 4 Scanner Tools

Master the four web application vulnerability scanners used most widely in professional security assessments: Nikto (web server scanner), OWASP ZAP (the most widely adopted open-source web app security tool), the Nmap Scripting Engine for vulnerability scanning, and Skipfish for web application security reconnaissance. Plus directory brute-forcing for finding hidden file directories and Proxychains for anonymized scanning.

Metasploit Framework Exploitation

The Metasploit Framework is the most widely used penetration testing platform in the world. Two dedicated lessons cover Metasploit in depth โ€” framework architecture, modules, payloads, handlers, and practical exploitation workflows. The AI in malware reverse engineering lesson adds a cutting-edge perspective on how artificial intelligence is reshaping defensive and offensive security.

Remote Access Trojans (RAT) โ€” 4-Part Series

Remote Access Trojans are among the most dangerous and commonly deployed malware tools โ€” understanding them is essential for both offense and defense in cybersecurity. The course introduces RAT in Lesson 2 (free preview) and then dedicates three additional deep-dive lessons (Parts 2, 3, and 4) to RAT analysis โ€” covering how they work, how they are deployed, and how defenders detect and mitigate them.

Who Should Apply?

This Ethical Hacking Internship Is Built for You

Cybersecurity is one of the fastest-growing career fields globally โ€” and a verified ethical hacking credential with hands-on tool experience opens doors across every sector that depends on digital security.

CS & Engineering Students

A verified ethical hacking internship certificate with hands-on experience in Kali Linux, Metasploit, Nmap, and OWASP ZAP is one of the most career-differentiating credentials a computer science or engineering student can present. This internship gives you the applied security portfolio that academic degrees alone don't provide โ€” and the verified credential that proves every skill listed.

Software Developers Moving into Security

Software developers who understand how systems are attacked write significantly more secure code. This internship teaches SQLi, XSS, LFI, OS command injection, and directory brute-forcing โ€” the exact attack vectors that exploit insecure code. Developers who complete this internship come away with the attacker's perspective that makes every line of their own code more secure.

IT Professionals Upskilling

Network administrators, system administrators, and IT support professionals who want to move into cybersecurity roles need two things: technical offensive security skills and a verified credential that demonstrates them. This internship provides both โ€” 42 hands-on lessons covering every major penetration testing domain, with a globally authenticated dual certificate.

Aspiring Penetration Testers

Penetration testing is one of the most in-demand and highest-paid cybersecurity specialisations. This internship covers the complete penetration testing workflow โ€” from information gathering (Nmap, Shodan, DNS enumeration) through exploitation (Metasploit, SQLi, XSS) to post-exploitation analysis โ€” giving aspiring pentesters the foundational credential and hands-on experience to pursue their first security role.

Cybersecurity Analysts & Blue Teamers

To defend against attacks effectively, security analysts need to understand exactly how those attacks work. The attacker's toolkit covered in this internship โ€” RAT analysis, backdoor techniques, web vulnerability scanning, Metasploit exploitation โ€” directly strengthens every defensive security decision a blue teamer makes. Understand the offense to sharpen the defense.

Beginners with No Security Background

The internship starts from Lesson 1 and builds the Kali Linux foundation that all subsequent security work rests on โ€” from absolute scratch. No prior Linux, networking, or security knowledge is required. The course sequence is deliberately designed to take a complete beginner from "what is Kali Linux" to executing penetration tests across web, network, and system targets.

I was a third-year computer science student from Hyderabad who had been following cybersecurity on YouTube but had no hands-on lab experience and no credential to show for the interest. The EasyShiksha Ethical Hacking internship changed that in six weeks. By Lesson 27 I had run actual SQLi attacks on BWAPP. By Lesson 35 I had used Metasploit. The dual certificate on my LinkedIn generated three messages from cybersecurity recruiters within a month. I am now doing a paid security internship at a Hyderabad-based IT security firm. The verified credential was the difference-maker.

I had been working as a network administrator in Lagos for four years and wanted to move into penetration testing. Every pentesting job required tool experience I couldn't demonstrate โ€” Metasploit, OWASP ZAP, Nmap scripting engine. The EasyShiksha Ethical Hacking internship filled every single gap. The four web vulnerability assessment lessons alone made me more hireable than any certification prep course I had tried. The internship certificate gave my CV the verified applied credential that made my transition credible. I am now a junior penetration tester at a Lagos cybersecurity consultancy.

I am a self-taught developer from Karachi who had been interested in bug bounty hunting but didn't know where to formally start. The EasyShiksha Ethical Hacking internship was exactly the right structured program. The BWAPP setup in Lesson 14, the Burp Suite LFI lessons, the XSS and SQLi exploitation โ€” all in a legal lab environment โ€” gave me the methodical approach I was missing. Three weeks after completing the internship and adding the certificate to LinkedIn and HackerOne, I submitted my first valid bug report to a public program. The credential and the skills both proved real.

Frequently Asked

Ethical Hacking Internship โ€” Your Questions Answered

Everything you need to know before applying for the EasyShiksha Ethical Hacking & Penetration Testing Internship.

What does the ethical hacking internship cover?
The EasyShiksha ethical hacking internship covers 42 lessons across: Kali Linux fundamentals (12 lessons โ€” terminal, sudo, file management, SSH, permissions, processes, network commands), web exploitation (backdoors, LFI with Burp Suite, OS command injection, SQLi, XSS), information gathering (Nmap, DNS enumeration, Shodan, subdomain enumeration, SFcrawler), vulnerability assessment (Nikto, OWASP ZAP, Nmap NSE, Skipfish, directory brute-forcing), Metasploit exploitation (2 lessons), AI in malware reverse engineering, virtualization, and a 4-part Remote Access Trojan series.
Is this ethical hacking internship legal?
Yes. This is an ethical hacking and penetration testing internship โ€” all techniques are taught in controlled, legal lab environments using intentionally vulnerable applications (BWAPP โ€” Buggy Web Application) and isolated networks that you set up yourself. No real systems are targeted at any point. The skills taught are the same ones used by certified security professionals to protect organizations โ€” applied in legal, authorized contexts only.
What tools are covered?
The ethical hacking internship covers: Kali Linux (full terminal and administration), Nmap (network mapper + NSE scripting), Burp Suite (LFI testing โ€” 2 lessons), Metasploit Framework (2 exploitation lessons), Nikto (web scanner), OWASP ZAP (web app assessment), Skipfish (web recon), Proxychains, Shodan.io, SFcrawler, BWAPP (vulnerable web app lab), and Windows 10 VM via virtualization.
Do I need prior Linux or security experience?
No. The ethical hacking internship starts from absolute basics โ€” Lesson 3 introduces the Kali Linux terminal with hands-on practicals, Lesson 4 covers sudo, Lesson 5 covers file management. No prior Linux, networking, or security knowledge is required. The course sequence is deliberately designed to build every skill from the ground up before applying it in security contexts.
What is BWAPP and why is it used?
BWAPP (Buggy Web Application) is an intentionally vulnerable web application used for security training in a legal, controlled environment. Lesson 14 covers BWAPP installation and setup โ€” establishing the safe lab environment in which all web exploitation techniques (backdoor planting, LFI, SQLi, XSS, OS command injection) are practiced. Using BWAPP ensures all hacking activities are legal, ethical, and conducted only on systems you own.
How many certificates do I get?
You receive two verified certificates: a Course Completion Certificate for the Ethical Hacking and Penetration Testing with Kali Linux course and an Ethical Hacking Internship Certificate. Both are digitally authenticated, globally recognized, LinkedIn-compatible, and verifiable by any employer in 50+ countries.
How long does the ethical hacking internship take?
With 42 hands-on lessons, most learners complete the ethical hacking internship in 5 to 8 weeks at a self-paced schedule with no deadlines. All programs include lifetime access โ€” complete at any pace and revisit any lesson at any time. Both certificates are issued upon completion.
Is Metasploit covered in depth?
Yes. The ethical hacking internship dedicates two full lessons to Metasploit: Lesson 34 (Learn Exploitation Using Metasploit Framework 1) and Lesson 35 (Learn Exploitation with Metasploit Framework 2). These cover the Metasploit console, module selection, payload configuration, handler setup, and exploitation workflows โ€” the practical Metasploit skills used in real-world penetration testing engagements.

Ethical Hacking Internship โ€” 42 Hands-On Lessons: Kali Linux, Penetration Testing, and the Full Hacking Toolkit

The EasyShiksha ethical hacking internship is one of the most practically intensive online cybersecurity programs available โ€” 42 hands-on lessons spanning every major phase of the ethical hacking and penetration testing lifecycle, built on the industry's standard offensive security platform, Kali Linux. This is not a conceptual overview of cybersecurity principles. It is a structured, tool-by-tool, technique-by-technique internship program that takes a complete beginner from their first Kali Linux terminal command through executing real web application exploits, running professional-grade vulnerability scanners, deploying Metasploit payloads, and analyzing Remote Access Trojans โ€” all in legal, controlled lab environments.

Why Kali Linux is the Foundation

Every serious ethical hacker and penetration tester uses Kali Linux โ€” the Debian-based Linux distribution maintained by Offensive Security and pre-loaded with hundreds of security tools. The ethical hacking internship dedicates its first 12 lessons to Kali Linux mastery: terminal navigation, sudo and privilege management, file system operations, user and group administration, SSH configuration, file permissions, process management, and network commands. This foundation is not optional โ€” it is the technical substrate on which every subsequent security skill is built. Learners who complete this module arrive at the exploitation lessons with genuine Linux fluency, not the surface-level familiarity that forces them to pause and troubleshoot basic commands mid-attack.

Web Exploitation โ€” Five Attack Types in a Legal Lab

The web exploitation module of this ethical hacking internship covers five distinct attack categories across six lessons โ€” all conducted on BWAPP (Buggy Web Application), an intentionally vulnerable application running in an isolated network you configure yourself. Backdoor planting via remote code execution teaches how attackers gain persistent access to web servers. LFI (Local File Inclusion) using Burp Suite across two dedicated lessons covers the technique used to read sensitive files from web servers. OS command injection shows how improperly sanitized inputs allow attackers to execute operating system commands through web interfaces. SQL injection (SQLi) covers the attack that remains the most common cause of data breaches globally. Cross-site scripting (XSS) covers the vulnerability that affects the majority of web applications and enables session hijacking, credential theft, and malicious redirects.
