Course Description
In this course you will be taken from a beginner who knows little or nothing about cybersecurity to finding your own vulnerabilities! If you are looking to become a certified ethical hacker this is the place to start! This course is applicable if you are seeking to become certified EJPT OSCP GPEN and more! When I started in Cybersecurity I had nowhere to turn. I created this course for the person who wants to take their first step or the next step in becoming a Cyber Security Professional.
Active directory! This is becoming a hot topic within the world of ethical hacking due to the recent change in the OSCP exam. If you are looking to gain the ability to confidently enumerate and exploit active directory this will be the place for you to start. We will exploit three AD systems and cover the most common tools used.
Buffer Overflow! Fear no more. We will cover the buffer overflow with ONLY the information that is need to perform the exploit. Many courses make buffer overflow seem scary by giving WAY more information than what is needed. In this course we will exploit the buffer overflow and it will be easy. Become confident in exploiting buffer overflows!
This course is designed to be highly practical with lots of hands on practice to obtain and become confident in the skills you are learning.
We will start by enumerating and finding vulnerabilities in Web Applications. These skills are very relevant in all areas of cyber security. We will cover all the most common web vulnerabilities including those that lead to Remote Code Execution. Then we will turn to network enumeration. This is when we will begin gaining access to the vulnerable servers. We will learn to gain access to the servers through network enumeration and through vulnerable web applications.

Getting into the things and only the require things are being discussed and not overflowing with unnecessary theory, which is great.

Amazing Content by the Mentor, really like all his explanation. A simple request can you make more videos like the Intro to URL testing where you give your insight and deep knowledge as to how the attacker would think in this situation. Thanks

The very beginning did not provide a "Hello this is..." so I thought I had jumped into the middle of a lesson... BUT once I realized it was the beginning I really like the lessons so far!
