Requirements / Prerequisites
- A solid foundational understanding of networking concepts, including TCP/IP, common network protocols, routing, and subnetting, is essential to comprehending network-based attack vectors and defense mechanisms.
- Prior exposure to Linux command-line interfaces and basic scripting knowledge (e.g., Bash, Python) is highly recommended, as many penetration testing tools and techniques are Linux-centric and require scripting for automation.
- Familiarity with cybersecurity fundamentals, equivalent to or exceeding CompTIA Security+ certification knowledge, including concepts like cryptography, access control, risk management, and security architecture, will provide a robust baseline.
- An ethical mindset and a fundamental grasp of ethical hacking principles and legal considerations are critical, ensuring the practice and application of penetration testing skills are conducted responsibly and within boundaries.
- Basic knowledge of vulnerability types, common exploits, and an understanding of how systems can be compromised (e.g., SQL injection, cross-site scripting, buffer overflows) will enable effective engagement with scenario-based questions.
- A working knowledge of web technologies (HTTP/S, HTML, JavaScript) and common database concepts is beneficial for tackling web application penetration testing scenarios effectively within the practice exams.
Skills Covered / Tools Used (Conceptual Understanding)
- Information Gathering and Reconnaissance: Develop a nuanced understanding of passive and active reconnaissance techniques, including OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence), domain enumeration, and network scanning to identify potential targets and vulnerabilities.
- Vulnerability Scanning and Analysis: Conceptualize the use of various vulnerability scanners (e.g., Nessus, OpenVAS) and manual techniques to detect common weaknesses in systems, applications, and networks, understanding their output and implications.
- Exploitation Techniques: Grasp the principles behind exploiting identified vulnerabilities across different platforms, including network services, operating systems, and web applications, without necessarily performing live exploits within the course.
- Post-Exploitation Tactics: Understand concepts such as privilege escalation, lateral movement, persistence mechanisms, and data exfiltration, which are crucial steps after gaining initial access to a target system.
- Reporting and Communication: Learn the essential elements of a comprehensive penetration test report, including executive summaries, technical details, risk ratings, and actionable recommendations for remediation.
- Social Engineering and Physical Penetration Testing: Explore the psychological manipulation techniques and physical security assessments involved in penetration testing engagements, understanding their impact and countermeasures.
- Wireless and Web Application Attacks: Delve into the methodologies for assessing wireless network security (e.g., Wi-Fi cracking) and common web application vulnerabilities (e.g., OWASP Top 10) through scenario analysis.
- Cloud Security Assessment: Familiarize yourself with the unique challenges and assessment techniques relevant to cloud environments, understanding common misconfigurations and attack vectors in cloud infrastructure.
- Conceptual Tool Understanding: Gain an understanding of how key tools like Nmap (network scanning), Metasploit Framework (exploitation), Wireshark (packet analysis), Burp Suite (web proxy), Hydra/John the Ripper (password cracking), and various scripting languages are applied in real-world penetration testing scenarios, as presented in exam questions.
- Automated vs. Manual Techniques: Differentiate between automated scanning tools and the necessity of manual verification and exploitation techniques, recognizing the strengths and limitations of each in a penetration test.
