Tool tutorials
Learn Nmap, Wireshark, Burp, Kali and VirusTotal.
Nmap for beginners: your first controlled scan
Use a narrow TCP scan in your own lab and distinguish open, closed and filtered ports.
Discover devices on your authorised network with Nmap
Use host discovery to compare live responses with an expected device inventory.
Check specific ports and service versions with Nmap
Separate basic reachability, version probing and a real application test.
Your first Wireshark packet capture
Capture a short piece of your own traffic and learn the three main views.
Wireshark display filters you can explain
Find DNS, TLS and one host’s traffic without confusing display and capture filter syntax.
Find the busiest conversations in Wireshark
Use endpoint pairs and byte counts to explain traffic volume without guessing its intent.
Use Burp Suite Community Edition in a free learning lab
Inspect one lab request with the built-in browser and repeat it without buying Pro.
Run Kali Linux in a virtual machine for learning
Practise without replacing your main operating system or interrupting a server workload.
Use VirusTotal without uploading confidential files
Search an existing file hash first and interpret detections as evidence, not a verdict.
Inspect HTTP security headers with curl
Read the response headers from your own site and understand what they do—and do not—prove.
