    This course is designed to equip you with the expertise to perform advanced penetration testing, identify and exploit vulnerabilities, and strengthen the security of networks, applications, and cloud systems. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to conduct detailed security assessments, simulate real-world attacks, and implement effective countermeasures. The journey begins with an exploration of common exploit resources and denial-of-service attacks, setting the stage for more intricate techniques like ARP/DNS poisoning, VLAN hopping, and password cracking. You’ll dive into wireless network exploitation, web app vulnerabilities like SQL injection, and explore emerging attack vectors such as SSRF and API hacking. Advanced topics include IoT and cloud vulnerabilities, ICS/SCADA threats, and post-exploitation strategies. Learn persistence techniques, privilege escalation, and detection avoidance to round out your penetration testing arsenal. Real-world scenarios and industry-standard tools like Mimikatz and Bloodhound will sharpen your practical skills. This course is ideal for intermediate to advanced IT professionals, penetration testers, and cybersecurity enthusiasts aiming to expand their skillset. A strong foundation in networking and security fundamentals is recommended.
