The Complete Ethical Hacking Bootcamp: Beginner To Advanced - Whatweb and Dirb

The video tutorial introduces Burp Suite and two tools, WhatWeb and Dirb, used for web security testing. WhatWeb identifies web technologies on a site, while Dirb scans for hidden directories. The tutorial demonstrates using these tools on a virtual machine, explaining their functions and outputs. It concludes with a brief mention of coding a custom directory brute forcer and a preview of the next lecture focusing on Burp Suite attacks.
