Listen up.
Python is everywhere in cybersecurity.
The pros use it to scan networks, sniff packets, bypass defenses, and automate attacks.
The amateurs? They Google scripts, copy-paste, and pray.
This course is where you stop being an amateur.
For 12 weeks, you’ll roll up your sleeves and write the kind of tools attackers use — but you’ll do it in a controlled lab environment where you learn to break things so you can defend them later.
You’ll build a MAC address changer. A network scanner. ARP spoofers. Packet sniffers. DNS hijackers. Keyloggers. Backdoors. Even malware packaging with AV evasion tricks.
And here’s the part nobody tells you:
These aren’t “hello world” toys.
They’re the same techniques red-teamers, bug bounty hunters, and pentesters use in the wild.
That means when you finish, you’ll not only understand how attackers think — you’ll know how to counter them, shut them down, and get paid to do it.
If you’re ready to stop watching videos about hacking and start building the real tools, this is your gateway.
CERTIFICATION
Forget the flimsy certificates floating around online.
You know the ones — the kind that make employers roll their eyes.
This one’s different.
You don’t just “watch lessons” and get a badge. You earn the title:
Phoenyx Certified Malicious Python3 Programming for Hackers and Cyber Security Professionals
To get it, you’ll:
- Build tools from scratch — scanners, sniffers, spoofers, and more.
- Write and package a working keylogger and backdoor (inside the lab).
- Deliver a Final Hacker Toolkit (Capstone Project).
- Prove in live sessions that you can actually code and explain your work.
Only then do you get the certificate — verifiable, respected, and tied to real, deployable skills.
This isn’t a souvenir.
It’s a career weapon.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
By the end, you’ll be able to:
- Automate attacks with Python scripts (MAC spoofing, ARP spoofing, DNS spoofing).
- Sniff packets and extract credentials from live traffic.
- Build malware components like keyloggers and backdoors.
- Package and obfuscate Python malware into executables.
- Brute-force web logins and scan for vulnerabilities.
- Think, build, and operate like an attacker — so you can defend like a pro.
When you’ve done all this, you won’t just be another “cyber student.”
You’ll be the one companies call when they need tools built or attacks stopped.
CAPSTONE PROJECT
Final Hacker Toolkit
You’ll design and implement your own integrated Python3 toolkit:
- A scanner to map networks
- A sniffer to capture traffic
- A spoofer to reroute packets
- A keylogger and backdoor for remote access
- Obfuscation and packaging to hide it
And you’ll demo it live in your VM lab — proving you can integrate everything into a single, working framework.
Industry note: These are the same methods offensive security teams and researchers use to test defenses.

THE INVESTMENT
Let’s cut the nonsense.
This isn’t a ₦5,000 “watch-and-forget” course.
It’s a 12-week program that gives you skills companies will pay for — in pentesting, bug bounty hunting, or advanced cybersecurity roles.
And no, it’s not millions.
It’s just ₦100,000.
Still think that’s expensive? Then this course isn’t for you.
But if you’re serious…
- Early Bird: ₦85,000 (limited seats)
- Institutional Deal: Enroll 5+ students, get 10% off.
- Bundle: Pair with Phoenyx Certified Smart Home Engineer or Phoenyx Certified IoT Engineer for ₦150,000 total.
Pay. Enroll. Build.
In 90 days, you’ll walk away with real tools and a real certificate — while others are still stuck Googling “how to change MAC address.”

- WEEK 1: INTRODUCTION & SETUPPay attention. Every empire starts with laying the first brick. And in hacking with Python, that brick is your lab setup. This week, we’re not jumping straight into fireworks. No. We’re doing the boring-looking, absolutely critical stuff that separates the pros from the amateurs. Because without this foundation, nothing else works. Here’s what’s on your plate: You’ll meet Python, the language of choice for hackers, pentesters, and cybersecurity pros worldwide. You’ll spin up Kali Linux inside a virtual machine — the same battlefield ethical hackers use every day. You’ll learn the basic Linux commands that make you dangerous — no more fumbling around the terminal like a lost tourist. And you’ll write your very first Python program… not because it’s “cute,” but because it proves your machine, your environment, and your setup are actually working. By the end of Week 1, you’ll have a complete lab environment on your laptop: Kali Linux, Python3, and the right tools ready to go. This is your foundation. Your workshop. Your forge. Skip it and you’ll be the clown Googling “why doesn’t my Python code run?” while the rest of the class is building backdoors. Do it right — and you’re officially on the path from rookie to pro.5
- WEEK 2: PYTHON BASICSListen. Last week, you built your lab. That was your workshop. Now it’s time to pick up your first tool: Python. And let me be crystal clear: you’re not here to “learn coding” like some bored college kid. You’re here to learn the basics that make everything else possible. Without this, you can’t write a script, you can’t automate, you can’t build a single damn thing. This week is about muscle memory. Variables. Loops. Functions. Lists. Files. The building blocks. They may look simple now, but these are the gears and levers that make scanners, sniffers, and every real tool you’ll build later actually work. Do not underestimate this week. The amateurs will skim it, get cocky, and then collapse when the code gets real. The pros? They nail the basics until they can type them in their sleep. That’s what you’re going to do. By the end of this week, you won’t just know Python basics — you’ll own them. And that’s when we’ll be ready to move on to the fun stuff.9

- WEEK 3: PROGRAMMING A MAC ADDRESS CHANGERListen up. This week is small, but it’s pure gold. You’re not learning tricks to disappear into the night — you’re learning control. You’re learning how hardware identifiers behave, why they matter, and how changing them can be used for legitimate privacy testing, red-team exercises inside an authorized scope, or forensics emulation. Most people treat MAC addresses like religion: fixed, untouchable. That’s lazy thinking. Real pros know a MAC is just a number — and that number tells a story about devices, vendors, and traffic patterns. If you can manipulate that number in a safe lab, you can answer real questions: • Are my detection rules resilient when devices spoof identities? • Can a rogue device blend in with legitimate traffic? • How does my logging and correlation handle identity churn? This week’s work: learn Python basics you’ll actually use — string handling, system calls (conceptual), argument parsing, and safe subprocess handling — then apply those skills to build a sandboxed emulator that simulates MAC changes inside a virtual environment. You’ll never touch a production network. You’ll never act without written permission. You will, however, gain the skill to design defenses that stop attackers who do try to hide.6
- WEEK 4: PROGRAMMING A HOST SCANNERListen up. If you can’t answer the simple question “Who’s alive on this network right now?”, you’re blind. That’s the job of a host scanner — a blunt, honest instrument that turns mystery into a list. This week you’ll build one: safe, lab-only, auditable, and useful. Not to poke random strangers online. To inventory, to monitor, and to defend. This is practical work. It’s not sexy. But every security pro uses this every single day. What this week is about — plain and brutal You will design and code a host scanner that discovers live hosts inside a controlled lab network. It won’t guess. It will check, confirm, and report , human summary, and an audit trail. The scanner will default to simulation and require explicit lab confirmation for any live probing. Why you must care Before you harden anything, you must see it. Hosts are the actors on your network stage — servers, IoT gadgets, phones, printers. Knowing what’s present, and when something appears or disappears, is the foundation of inventory, incident detection, and forensics. Miss that, and you miss everything.3
- WEEK 5: PROGRAMMING A PORT SCANNERListen up. If Week 4 taught you who is on the network, Week 5 teaches you what they’re offering. Ports are doors on a machine — some you want open, some you don’t. A port scanner tells you which doors are unlocked, what service answers the knock, and whether that service smells like trouble. This week you build that tool — safe, auditable, and designed for lab-only use. We’re not giving students a weapon. We’re teaching them to see and document network exposure so defenders can close gaps.11
