Hacker Methodologies for Security Professionals

This course teaches students the processes threat actors use to break into organizations’ networks and steal their most sensitive data. Utilizing industry-standard penetration testing and auditing software, attendees will learn to identify, scan, and enumerate target systems; correlate services to vulnerabilities and exploits; employ exploits to gain access to the target systems; elevate privileges; propagate through the network; and cover their tracks within a target network. This course is focused primarily on Windows and Linux operating systems, so students should be comfortable with both.
