Program Overview

Learn to think like an adversary to defend critical systems. Gain practical hands-on experience in Kali Linux, Wireshark, Metasploit, web vulnerability scanning, active directory exploits, and incident response.

What You Will Master:

✔
Master reconnaissance, OSINT intelligence gathering, and network scanning with Nmap
✔
Exploit web application flaws based on OWASP Top 10 (SQLi, XSS, CSRF, SSRF, IDOR)
✔
Analyze network packets, capture unencrypted credentials, and detect MITM attacks
✔
Perform privilege escalation on Linux and Windows target environments
✔
Analyze security logs, detect intrusions, and configure SIEM solutions (Splunk)
✔
Prepare for CEH, CompTIA Security+, and real-world penetration testing engagements
