Advanced Penetration Testing (Cybrary)

Aggressive systems require aggressive hackers. Advanced Penetration Testing training embodies that notion. It’s an intense approach to the world of exploitation and pentesting set in the highest security environments around. In our free online Advanced Penetration Testing training class, you’ll learn how to challenge traditional practices and use alternate methods and software in penetration testing.

Cover how to attack from the web using cross-site scripting, SQL injection attacks, remote and local file inclusion and how to understand the defender of the network you’re breaking into to. You’ll also learn new tricks for exploiting a network and the post-exploitation process—how to backdoor SSH logins, enable RDP/VNC and additional data exfiltration techniques. It’s a headfirst dive into the world of advanced pentesting, and there are no life jackets—only binaries.
