Master the art of penetration testing and vulnerability assessment with CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002). This course equips learners with hands-on skills to evaluate the security of systems and networks by simulating real-world cyberattacks. You will gain a deep understanding of scoping, legal and compliance considerations, and professional conduct necessary for ethical penetration testing.

The journey begins with foundational topics, including regulations, methodologies, and reconnaissance techniques such as DNS and target reconnaissance. You’ll then explore advanced penetration skills, such as password attacks, SQL injection, cloud and IoT vulnerabilities, and post-exploitation methods. Modules on advanced practices teach reporting, remediation strategies, and client communication essentials for a complete pentesting lifecycle.

You’ll also develop programming basics for analyzing scripts and automating penetration testing tasks, enhancing efficiency and precision. This comprehensive flow ensures that you gain both the technical expertise and professional acumen to excel as a penetration tester.

This course is ideal for cybersecurity professionals preparing for the CompTIA PenTest+ certification, IT professionals, and security enthusiasts. Prior knowledge of networking, basic cybersecurity concepts, and IT fundamentals is recommended. The course is intermediate in difficulty and will prepare you for real-world penetration testing challenges.
