Course Overview

Build your foundation in Penetration Testing

Learn how to plan and document an authorized security assessment, validate findings in a controlled scope, and communicate risk and remediation clearly.

The course starts with the difference between penetration testing and vulnerability assessment, rules of engagement, authorization, scope, and legal and professional responsibilities.

Its 72 lessons cover reconnaissance, network and service assessment, vulnerability validation, Linux and Windows security concepts, credential and session risks, web and API assessment, network and wireless security, threat modeling, controlled validation, reporting and remediation verification. Practical work must stay within an explicitly authorized lab or assessment scope.
