Master the critical first phase of penetration testing where elite professionals separate themselves from amateurs. This section covers everything from strategic planning and scoping through advanced OSINT techniques, network enumeration, and comprehensive vulnerability assessment.

Real-World Application: You’ll learn to think like an attacker, systematically mapping target environments using the same techniques employed in actual penetration testing engagements. Our labs simulate real corporate networks where you’ll practice advanced reconnaissance against Active Directory domains and web applications.

Transform reconnaissance findings into system compromise through sophisticated exploitation techniques. This section covers the core of penetration testing—turning vulnerabilities into access, escalating privileges, and maintaining persistence in target environments.

Advanced Attack Mastery: Master the exploitation techniques that define professional penetration testing. Craft custom payloads that bypass modern defenses, exploit cutting-edge Active Directory vulnerabilities, and perform sophisticated privilege escalation using techniques like token manipulation and group abuse. Our labs provide hands-on experience with the latest attack vectors.

This section addresses the evolving threat landscape including web application security, container and cloud vulnerabilities, and the critical skill of communicating findings effectively.

Modern Security Domains: Master advanced web application attacks beyond basic vulnerabilities, including XXE, insecure deserialization, and authentication bypasses. Learn container security assessment including Docker escape techniques and Kubernetes enumeration. Develop professional reporting skills that communicate technical findings to both technical teams and executive leadership.
