Pentesting with Python & Kali Training in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

This course provides a comprehensive foundation for penetration testing using Kali Linux as the primary offensive security platform and Python for building custom penetration testing tools. Participants will gain hands-on skills in reconnaissance, exploitation, post-exploitation, and automation of attacks using Python scripts. By the end of the course, learners will be able to conduct professional penetration tests and create tailored tools to simulate real-world cyber threats.
