Vulnerability & Network Scanning: Tools, Techniques, Tactics | Udemy

Are you ready to uncover the hidden weaknesses in networks and systems like a cybersecurity professional? This course is your complete guide to Vulnerability and Network Scanning, combining both practical skills and theoretical knowledge to help you master this critical area of cybersecurity.

We start by diving deep into network scanning using industry-standard tools like Nmap, teaching you how to map networks, identify open ports, detect services, and interpret scan results. From there, we move into the world of vulnerability scanning using popular tools such as Nessus, OpenVAS, and Qualys to discover weaknesses in systems before attackers do.

But we don’t stop at just using tools — you’ll also build your own vulnerability and network scanner in Python, learning the logic behind how scanners work under the hood. This hands-on coding section reinforces your understanding and gives you real-world scripting skills that are in demand.

To complete your training, we cover how to properly write professional scan reports that are clear, actionable, and effective for communicating risks to stakeholders. Whether you’re a beginner or brushing up your skills, this course offers a comprehensive and practical learning experience.
