Overview
This course covers web technology, including protocols, languages, clients, and server architectures, from the attacker's perspective. The participants will also be introduced to hacking lifecycle (reconnaissance, network scanning, gaining access, maintaining access and covering tracks).
This course will also review the fundamental principles of each phase and discuss how penetration testers can use them together as a cyclical in-depth attack process. We then cover the types of penetration testing and what pieces need to be part of a thorough, high-value penetration testing report.
