Description
Welcome to this course that will demystify the exciting job of a white hat hacker, and help you decide if it's worth pursuing! If you're curious about penetration testing, cybersecurity, but now little to nothing about it, you're in the right place.
I will take you through a practical use case approach. Rather than inundating you with theoretical jargon, I will immerse you in a practical use case where you'll have a peek behind the curtain. You will discover different tools, vulnerabilities, and how to use them to hack a web application.
Starting from the very first kickoff meeting and progressing through the various stages that define a pentest mission, this course will offer you valuable insights into the fundamental building blocks of a pentest job. We will take you on a journey through the mission, immersing you in the real-world experiences of a white hat hacker's job.
Upon completing this course, you will possess the knowledge and experience necessary to make an informed decision about whether a career in penetration testing aligns with your aspirations. This course will help you evaluate whether a job in this field resonates with your interests and goals.
The sole purpose of this course is to introduce penetration testing, it is NOT intended for those who want to build their technical skills.
Who this course is for:
- Students who don't know if penetration testing is the right career for them
- Anyone who want to switch to cybersecurity but are not sure if it's worth the jump
- Curious minds who want to discover the offensive side of cybersecurity
