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.

Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking (Cybrary)

As the amount of cyber threats continue to grow, so does the Cyber Security industry. The need for capable ethical hackers is a global need. Ethical hackers are “white-hat” hackers (aka the good guys) that penetrate secured systems to highlight flaws and weaknesses in a system. They help government agencies, private businesses and public organizations identify what is secure and what needs to be fixed. If the idea of hacking as a career excites you, you’ll benefit greatly from completing Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking training here on Cybrary.

Post-Exploitation Hacking (Cybrary)

As the name implies, Post Exploitation Hacking – Persistence and Continued Access, refers to the series of steps to be followed after breaking into a system. Offensive hacking to accomplish an objective requires ultimate stealth—but unfortunately many hackers (both script-kiddies and experienced professionals) sometimes fail to perform acts that conceal their identity and exploit their target covertly and consistently for intelligence and to accomplish the mission. In this free self-paced online training course, you’ll cover three main topics: Information Gathering, Backdooring and Covering Steps.
