| Summary: | The course begins by laying the groundwork with breach scanning and enumeration, guiding learners through identifying vulnerabilities in network systems and web applications. It covers techniques such as Web App Enumeration, HTTPS analysis with Wireshark and Burp Suite, and POP3 Enumeration, setting the stage for deeper exploration into cybersecurity defenses. The course focuses on practical application, moving from theoretical concepts to real-world hacking techniques. Learners will navigate through gaining access, exploiting systems, and executing privilege escalations both horizontally and vertically. Scenarios involving systems like GoldenEye, Bob, and Straylight offer hands-on experience, emphasizing the attacker's perspective to fortify defense mechanisms. The course wraps up with advanced topics in exploit development and real-world applications, challenging learners to apply their knowledge in complex environments. Whether starting an IT career, mastering a profession, or developing a team, they provide essential support at every step. Daniel Lowrie: Daniel Lowrie's IT career began with workstation support and Y2K compliance updates for a teaching hospital in North-Central Florida.
