Description

You will learn the details of how to conduct a penetration test so that you can be better prepared to serve on your organization's cyber defense team or as an independent penetration tester.

The CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) certification is an intermediate-level, vendor-neutral certification that validates your knowledge and ability to plan/scope an assessment, understand the legal/compliance requirements, perform vulnerability scanning/penetration tests, and analyze/report on your findings.

The CompTIA PenTest+ certification exam, and this course, is focused on the technical, hands-on details of the cybersecurity field, including how to emulate a cyber threat, infiltrate a secure network architecture, and conduct a penetration test against your organizational networks (with permission, of course). 

This course is designed for penetration testers, IT Security analysts, vulnerability analysts and testers, network security operations personnel, or anyone who is trying to get a better understanding of the concepts involved in conducting a penetration test and its associated toolsets.  

By the end of the course, you will be comfortable with the technical tasks required of a penetration tester and be ready to take on a more advanced role in a cybersecurity team within your organization!

This course is designed to help prepare you for the CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) certification exam and covers all five domains:

  • Planning and Scoping (14%)
  • Information Gathering and Vulnerability Identification (22%)
  • Attacks and Exploits (30%)
  • Reporting and Communication (18%)
  • Tools and Code Analysis (16%)

The course touches key topics from each of the domains that make-up the PenTest + exam. Opens gateway to vulnerability/penetration testing tools and awareness that the job of building that familiarity falls unto you, the student. Jason does a great job with the subdivision topics within each domain and it's straightforward, no fluff.
