Penetration Testing With GO Programming Language: Build Tools

Introduction

In Penetration Testing With GO Programming Language: Build Tools we will learn Penetration Testing using Go language. Go is an open source programming language created by Google. As one of the fastest growing languages in terms of popularity, its a great time to pick up the language and start using it.

First

we start with learning about why we should use go language and what are its advantages. Then we will start diving into what Penetration Testing is and what are different types of Penetration Testing. We will learn how to keep ourselves secure over LAN by developing a program for changing MAC address. Then we will create a Network Scanner that will help us in scanning devices over our local network and finding out their IP and MAC addresses. During our course, we will explore a lot of aspects of Penetration Testing using go language in detail and use important packages for Penetration Testing purposes.

In the later part of our course, we will start developing programs that will help us in Penetration Testing. Firstly we will perform a man in the middle attack using ARP spoofing and then we will intercept traffic between users. Then we will create our own backdoor malware that will give us complete control over the victim machine using a power-shell , i.e you will be able to run commands on the remote PC. We will also develop a functionality to steal user files from his machine using our backdoor.
