How to Hack a Website - Step-by-Step (The 6 Methods)

Think your website is secure? I prove you wrong in under 10 minutes.

This isn't theory. This is a full, step-by-step demonstration of exactly how attackers compromise websites today. I am breaking down the 6 most critical web vulnerabilities that define modern cyber attacks - from bypassing logins with SQL Injection to achieving total server control with Remote Code Execution (RCE).

If you are a developer, a business owner, or aspiring penetration tester, you need to see these attacks executed in real-time to understand how to build an unbreakable defense.

In this ethical hacking masterclass, we dive deep into the offensive mindset. We are using professional tools like Kali Linux, Hydra, and Burp Suite in a controlled lab environment to show you the reality of web insecurity.

We aren't just talking about weak passwords. We are exploring the systemic flaws that allow hackers to steal databases, hijack user sessions, access backend system files, and execute arbitrary commands on a server.

What you will learn in this video:
✅ How SQL Injection (SQLi) tricks databases into dumping user credentials.
✅ The raw speed of automated Brute Force attacks against login forms.
✅ Why simple Security Misconfigurations are the easiest backdoors for hackers.
✅ How Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) weaponizes the user's browser against them.
✅ The danger of Directory Traversal in accessing sensitive OS files like /etc/passwd.
✅ The ultimate threat: Achieving Remote Code Execution (RCE) for full system takeover.

This is essential viewing for anyone interested in cyber security, bug bounty hunting, or web development. You cannot defend against what you don't understand.

🚨 IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: This video is strictly for educational purposes and ethical hacking defense training only. All demonstrations are performed in a controlled, legal lab environment (using platforms like DVWA, Metasploitable, and local hosts) owned by me. Do not attempt these techniques on any system you do not own or have explicit written permission to test. Unauthorized access to computer systems is illegal and can have severe consequences. The goal is to teach penetration testing methodology to help secure infrastructure, not harm it.
