Course description
A weakness is only a weakness if the enemy knows about it — and as a pentester, it’s your job to play the enemy. In this course, four videos will reintroduce you to the art of exploiting network and application vulnerabilities. Take a closer look at man-in-the-middle attacks, Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed-Denial-of-Service (DDoS), evil twin attacks, credential harvesting and the weak points in networks, wireless networks and applications. Includes definitions and demonstrations.
