Securing Your Home Network: A Guide to Parrot OS Tools

Abstract

This master project presents a comprehensive exploration of the realm of ethical hacking, emphasizing its crucial role in protecting home systems from cyber threats. This master's work delves into the importance of proactive measures to identify vulnerabilities and counteract possible attacks in domestic environments. Through the lens of ethical hacking methodologies, the project focuses on five prominent tools that are integral to contemporary cybersecurity practices. By immersing yourself in a real-world home scenario, your goal is to deepen your understanding of these cybersecurity tools, systems, and principles, fostering a culture of prevention and response. A central element of the research is the examination of the impact of ethical hacking on educational paradigms, with the aim of improving students' understanding of the nuances of cybersecurity in a domestic context. By integrating ethical hacking exercises into education, the project strives to equip students with basic skills and knowledge to mitigate modern threats to home network security, thereby strengthening personal data protection and system integrity. Eventually, this effort seeks to contribute both theoretically and practically to the field of cybersecurity, fostering a more professional and vigilant student community, equipped to confidently navigate the changing cybersecurity landscape.
