Intro to Penetration Testing (Ethical Hacking)

About this event

This hands-on penetration testing course focuses on tactics, techniques, and procedures used by both black hat attackers and penetration testers (white hat hackers). The course starts with an overview of hacking incidents, trends, and attacker motivations. The course progresses to penetration testing methodologies. These often overly complicated methodologies, filled with an excessive number of steps, are simplified in this course with an emphasis on the penetration test objective. Each hacking phase of the simplified methodology is demonstrated, discussed, and practiced. Attendees practice penetration testing in a fun and interactive environment with multiple live targets and CTF (Capture the Flag) exercises.

The Intro to Penetration Testing (Ethical Hacking) course is an excellent introduction to penetration testing. Emphasis is placed on learning, demonstrating, and practicing the primary tactics - reconnaissance (active and passive), vulnerability discovery and identification, exploitation, and persistence. Numerous methods are covered to include server-side exploits, client-side exploits, man-in-the-middle (MITM), and social engineering.
