Database Hacking 101: Your First Steps Into Cybersecurity
Ever wondered how hackers actually break into databases? Or more importantly - how to stop them? This beginner-friendly course pulls back the curtain on database security in a way that finally makes sense.
Why Database Security Matters More Than Ever
Here's the uncomfortable truth - nearly every major data breach starts with a database vulnerability. Whether it's stolen credit cards, leaked personal info, or corporate secrets - it all lives in databases.
This course won't turn you into a criminal mastermind. But it will show you exactly how databases get compromised - so you can either protect them or start an ethical hacking career.
What You'll Actually Learn

- Database Reconnaissance: Finding what shouldn't be visible
- Permission Pitfalls: How overprivileged accounts cause disasters
- Basic Hardening: Simple changes that block most attacks
- Ethical Boundaries: What's legal vs. what's not
You'll use real (but safe) databases to practice on - no risk of breaking anything important.
