Course Description

NOTE:
This is independent from Hands-on PenetrationTestingLabs 1.
0 and 2.
0. All three are standalone courses and can be taken in any order, or on their own.
Hello students, and welcome to my Hands-on Penetration Testing Labs 3.
0 course. If you're familiar with my previous courses, this is part three of the series. We're going to be diving straight into hands-on technical labs with little focus on theory, as in my opinion this is the best way to prepare for the actual job and for hands-on practical certifications such as OSCP. There's no better way as a penetration tester to gain the raw skills that are needed on the job than to actually use and master the necessary technology and skills.
I should mention right now that this course requires a reliable Internet connection, and a decent laptop or PC which can support at least two virtual machines. I suggest that you have at least 8 GB of RAM, but the more the better, especially if you want to make an advanced virtual lab in which to practice and hone your pentesting skills. Ideally, you should have 16 GB or 32 GB of RAM and a decent processor, but you can get away with less.
During our course work we'll be using Virtual Box as a software hypervisor in order to spin up Kali Linux, which is an industry standard penetration testing operating system. We'll also be setting up several intentionally vulnerable VMs to demonstrate vulnerabilities within a variety of network services and web applications, walking through various tactics, techniques, and procedures to simulate adversarial activity. I'll be providing all of the necessary software, which is completely free and open source.
We'll be covering enumeration, vulnerability scanning, and automated and manual exploitation. More specifically, we'll be going over key essential pentesting skills such as port scanning and service enumeration, local file inclusion, web directory brute forcing, buffer overflows exploit development, SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting, various types of reverse shells, a variety of local privilege escalation, and much more.
All of the technology which is utilized within these recordings is current as of June 2019. Technology is constantly changing, so some of the software seen in these videos may be different when you take the course. However, it should be similar enough for you to figure out with quick Google searches, or with my assistance if needed. You can always reach out to me via the messaging or Q&A system, although I highly encourage you to perform troubleshooting on your own, as the ability to research and troubleshoot is one of the single most important skill sets as a penetration tester and IT professional in general.
I'm looking forward to working with all of you, and hope you enjoy my course. Please leave a review if you enjoy my course, as it allows me to reach more and more dedicated students and existing or aspiring cyber security professionals.

Really good course for practicing Exploitation and building confidence with Kali and associated tools.

By Christopher Bianchi on 9/2/2020

Nice course, but my advice is going little more slow and stay on topic a little more

By Adeniyi Adeyi on 7/22/2020

great

By Tanja Ramsden on 7/21/2020

Very informative

By Akshay Chenna on 7/17/2020

Good explanation !!

By Keshav Malhotra on 7/13/2020

A wonderful course

By Anonymized User on 6/27/2020

The Collection of labs Jesse has put together is great but what I think is most valuable is his explanation and thought process. The end of the course content explaining XSS and buffer overflow exploits while are only one lab deserves to be watched and practiced many times over as it is a trove of information.

By Defis Alfrado on 6/13/2020

yes this is a start step for me to learn about technical hack and this course share the vm Labs which mean a lot for me to can do a hands on by my own.. great !

By Brian on 6/3/2020

Basic new to Pen Testing...It is good to learn from this video...Instructor Jesse explanation is clear and detail.

By Alejandra Nez on 6/1/2020

Some tasks are repetitive (I guess its the way pentesting should be), but overall great course. I made myself a cheatsheet of all the programs and commands used. Looking forward on how to do some great note taking, since it was not properly covered here.

By Greg A on 5/27/2020

Good walkthroughs of boxes.

By Jose Campo on 5/24/2020

Jessys course are great but it would be better if he adds some introductory chapters prior jumping into the actual hack of the VMs. These courses are only usable if we try ourselves without watching (which is hard most of the time) or just watch the course. With some explanations without giving hints, we may able to learn more from the course.
