Networking is the backbone of ethical hacking. From reconnaissance to exploitation, IP communication is involved at every level. Yet, most tutorials skip the depth required to understand it like a true hacker.
This repository is your step-by-step masterclass for:
- Learning networking fundamentals
- Becoming a pro at IP addressing & subnetting
- Practicing with real-world tools like Nmap, Wireshark
- Using your knowledge in actual hacking scenarios
- Preparing for certifications like CEH, eJPT, Network+
Whether you are just starting out, or you've already touched tools like Kali Linux, Burp Suite, or Metasploit, this repo will level up your networking game.
