WHY SHOULD I TAKE THIS COURSE?
Did you know penetration testers' average salary is $71,929?* And this career is in one of the fastest-growing job markets**.
Whether you're looking to pass the CompTIA PenTest+ certification exam, take your next step in the CompTIA Cybersecurity Pathway***, or you're just looking to learn some awesome ethical hacking skills, youre in the right place. Keep in mind there's much more to being an ethical hacker than what's covered here, including how to secure a network, however this course focuses on how to be a pen tester. A pen tester plans and scopes a pen test engagement with a client, finds vulnerabilities, exploits them to get into a network, then reports on those findings to the client.
This course shows you how to:
Use the tools youll need to scan networks, crack passwords, analyze and intercept traffic, discover code vulnerabilities, and compromise resourcesRecognize vulnerabilities within a system, run exploits, and suggest solutions to a client to remediate the weak pointsWork within a virtual environment to practice your pen testing skills, including using Oracle VM manager, Kali Linux, Metasploitable, and DVWAScope, plan, and execute a pen test engagement from start to finishWHAT'S COVERED?

Even in earlier chapters, the instructor gets you going on sample exercises to chop up the theoretical content a little, which always helps. With a course like this, hands-on is everything. I also appreciate that the theoretical parts are NOT TOO LONG AT ONCE!! Total Seminars did a fantastic job of breaking the content up in just the right places. LOVE this course! Chris N Amazing. Well Explained. Detail description for all the fundamental terms. Nisarg T Instruction was excellent. Including notes as resources was a big help! I reviewed the notes while watching the videos and I think that is really going to help me with information retention. The instructor used real-world examples to demonstrate points. Overall, I feel confident I can pass the test after studying the materials and doing the exercises the instructor emphasizes. The instructor also highlighted several key points to study for the exam for maximum preparation. - Tim W This is what I was hoping for and it's much more upbeat than most of the lulling video series' I've seen before.
