Vulnerability analysis and exploitation.
Proficiency with penetration testing tools (Nmap, Nessus, Metasploit, Hydra, Netcat, Wireshark, Burp Suite, CrackMapExec).
Exploiting misconfigurations, weak credentials, and unpatched systems.
Privilege escalation, persistence, and lateral movement.
Network segmentation and defense evasion testing.
Professional report writing and mitigation recommendations.

Reconnaissance and enumeration techniques.
Exploitation of vulnerable services.
Privilege escalation and post-exploitation.
IDS/IPS and firewall evasion methods.
Report writing with remediation strategies.

Participants who attend all sessions and successfully complete the course assessments will receive a ProgNXT Certificate of Completion.

Introduction & Reconnaissance

Introduction to Penetration Testing
- Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES)
- Rules of engagement & legal considerations
Reconnaissance & Information Gathering
- Passive reconnaissance (WHOIS, DNS, OSINT, Shodan)
- Active reconnaissance (Nmap, banner grabbing, SNMP enumeration)
Scanning & Enumeration
- Port scanning & service detection
- SMB, FTP, SMTP, SNMP, LDAP enumeration
- Identifying live hosts and services

Vulnerability Assessment & Exploitation

Vulnerability Scanning
- Nessus, OpenVAS, Nikto
- Manual validation of vulnerabilities
Exploitation Techniques
- Exploiting weak services (FTP, SMB, RDP, Telnet)
- Password attacks (Hydra, Medusa, John the Ripper, Hashcat)
- Web-based network exploitatio

Post-Exploitation & Privilege Escalation

Post-Exploitation Basics
- Maintaining access
- Covering tracks
Privilege Escalation Techniques
- Windows privilege escalation (UAC bypass, misconfigurations)
