Course Description
Why you want to take this course
I am not one to keep my company secrets a secret, which kind of defeats the point of the word, but I strongly believe in sharing knowledge. That's why I have created a guide that I think comprehensively covers this whole process. Pentesting is an art form and I'd like to teach how to do it.
What is this course?
This course takes you through 10 modules, each having it's own objective with a capstone assignment that will guide you through network pen-testing, web, and even API pen-testing. I've created practical labs to guide you through the process so you are not just theoretically richer after completing this course.
Who am I?
Let's start with the obligated section about who I am first. My name is Wesley Thijs and i have been an instructor and public figure for about 4 years, garnering 100 000+ students in my time doing it. Recently, however, I wanted to expand my business and I included pen testing as a service we offer. This means we also sometimes get requests for hundreds of hours of testing and this is impossible to do alone. I manage a team of several highly skilled cybersecurity professionals I have been able to pick out over the years I have been training.
My team needed a standard way of testing and a standard education however so I created this plan to teach them how to pentest, how to handle clients, and everything involved in successfully completing an assignment from start to finish.

Experience with Rat XSS is very pleasant. Many mind, many real explanations. Some ideas in my mind were validated here when I watch this course because I already know (nice to hear a review for these classical themes). And new ideas, very great to improve mind and understand step by step.

Thanks, xssrat! Pentesting 101 made hacking way easier to understand and actually fun to learn. Perfect for beginners who want to get their hands dirty without the headache. Highly recommend!

Alle Materialen Gebündelt Pro Abschnitt in einem Archiv gesamt anbieten. Auch würde ich mehr interation mit einbauen (z.B. Quiz) und auch Übungsaufgaben stellen Außerdem das hin und her springen mit so kurzen Videos kommt nicht so gut rüber

Good Content just updating the Labs and answers to the questions asked in Udemy platform helps in a lot of ways to save time.

I have not gone that far with the course. So far the material is very relevant , and covers areas that don't get enough attention. The rating will probably be higher once I have gone past the intro and first topic.

If you want to know how to do a penetration test, regardless of the type of test it is this is what you need to get the project done properly! You learn not just about parts of a test, but you learn the reasons why you are doing the test and the different methodologies that best suit each type of testing. There are many assignments to help you learn what you need to learn to be a professional. Whether you work with the XSSRat, for another company, or choose to be an independant.

Just watching module#3, I have learned a whole lot. Wesley clearly communicates and demonstrates in real time what and why this pentest can make a busines site very vurnerable.

Information was great, but the order of it and comments made the information confusing in some cases.
