Pentest demonstration: Appetizer for the beginner
This course is a walkthrough of a typical penetration test. We wanted to end the course with a peek into the real world of a cybersecurity job role. Penetration testing is one of the expertise areas of this instructor.
Course description
In this course, we will take you through all five phases of a penetration test. You will see the command line in action, Nmap in action, exploitation tools, other recon tools, track covering, malware and several other things. These topics are layered together to illustrate what a technical role in penetration testing might look like from a day-to-day job perspective. This is the final course in this path.
