Course Description

NOTE: This is independent from my other course, Hands-on Pentration Labs 1.0 - they both have original content and you're not required to buy one or the other by itself.

Looking for Powerpoint slides and lectures that will put you to sleep? Keep moving, because this course is not for you.

This course consists of 100% hands-on technical labs, utilizing industry standard open source technology to hack a variety of intentionally vulnerable operating systems. All of the resources to build the labs are free. Detailed instructions on how to set up the labs are included within this course (VMware Player, Kali Linux, Kioptrix, etc.). Moreover, I've set up a Google drive for you to conveniently download all vulnerable VMs. To make the most out of this course, it is recommended that you actually perform the activities within the labs rather than just watch the videos.

The main points that will be covered in this course is enumeration, remote exploitation, buffer overflows, and privilege escalation. These labs will show you how to interpret results from tools such as Nmap, Dirb, and enum4linux, and use them effectively to compromise vulnerable systems. Please note that these labs contain spoilers, and it is a good idea to attempt to compromise the vulnerable systems on your own prior to getting the answers from the walk through that's provided.

Most of the training are incomplete, the guide is not really proper and most of the resourceless are old or without any longer user. And finally, the Q/A is not really updated.

I was looking for OSCP pre-course but it seems that the lecturer using automated tools. I'm perhaps on the wrong udemy course for my OSCP preparation.

Good for learning computer security

By Steven Van Wyk on 11/8/2020

fascinating course

By Stephen Greer on 10/25/2020

The emphasis on hands on demonstration is good. I understand the reluctance to use slides and lecture to those slides. However, it might be worth creating a few summary slides so that student could download them for reference - you wouldn't need to lecture to these slides - you could just provide them as a "summary list of the tools that we used in the exercises."

By Samuel Chandrasekar on 10/16/2020

The course is more technical and as expected.

This course was pretty interesting. I've really learnt a lot. After this i'm gonna do Hands On Penetration Testing 2.0

Do not show commands at the bottom of the screen. Video controllers are hiding your codes.

By Fouad Animashaun on 8/21/2020

Does what it says on the tin and is good practise for OSCP.

By Jorge Estrada on 8/21/2020

Me gusto pero es un poco desorganizado y los objetivos no son claros. Tienes cosas buenas de seguridad pero explican mucho como instalar VMs en VirtualBox que no es el objetivo del curso.
