The Art of Doing: Master Networks and Network Scanning

Description

This video course will teach you how devices connect, work, and communicate across a network. Throughout the course, you will learn how to set up your own virtual network, understand various networking concepts, and write powerful Bash scripts.

Do you ever wonder how network scanning is executed just by entering 'nmap 192.168.1.0/24' into the command line? With this video course, you'll not only understand how the commands work but you'll also master the concepts of virtual machines, network scanning, and port monitoring. By the end of this video, you will gain a good understanding of networking commands, and develop the skills needed to scan the network.
