  • You'll be able to confidently explain hacking techniques and attacks because you've actually executed them yourself!

Course content

8 sections • 43 lectures • 3h 43m total length

  • Welcome to the course!6:55

    You're going to have a lot of fun in this course - as you are going to learn step by step how to build a working penetration testing lab but please keep in mind that the attacks taught in this course are designed to be confined to your lab environment.

    It is imperative that you refrain from using the techniques taught in this course on real organization networks or systems.  It is illegal to execute any cyber attacks against a target organization without the explicit written permission of an authorized individual in the target organization.  Neither Securitypluspro.com nor it's employees will be held liable for any misuse or abuse of the material taught in the course.  

    Now with that out of the way, let's get started!

    Have you ever meet a guy at a party, social event, networking event or whatever - who is trying to sound smart and everyone knows it?

    Maybe he's tossing terms around like "Firewall" , "DHCP" and "ifconfig".  And maybe he even looks cool too - but what does he really know?

    In this quick video we'll teach you how to talk the talk so you can understand the complex world of ethical hacking and penetration testing.

  • Hacking Stages18:18

    So exactly how does all this hacking stuff work?

    Do you just fire up a password cracking tool and start hammering away?  Some people might go that route but the hackers that actually break into organizations and slip under the radar are typically using benign administrator tools in malicious ways.

    In this guide you'll begin to grasp the stages of a well crafted attack. 

  • Attack Tools8:29

    Here are the weapons of warfare we will use in this course. 

  • Hardware Requirements for our Lab3:27

    Alright, so now the question you've been waiting for: "Can my system handle the lab?"

    The short answer is "Probably so" but here's how to know for sure.

  • An overview of the Lab we will build together7:12

    And now it's time to unveil the lab we will build together.

    This lab will give you everything you need to really learn how to hack and gain the experience you need to attack real world targets. 

Requirements

  • You need a beefy laptop to run through this course.
  • 8GB of RAM is the minimum requirement but 16GB is ideal
  • 100GB of free hard drive space on a SSD is ideal; however a traditional HDD will also work but it'll take twice as long to build
  • Windows 10 is recommended; however Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 is also acceptable.
  • You need to be already know the bare basics of Virtualization, Linux and Windows.

Description

Do You Have What It Takes?

Have you ever wondered how hackers breach systems? How does malware work? How do hackers crack passwords, gain unauthorized access to social sites such as Facebook or impersonate legitimate users by stealing credentials?

What if it were possible to pass the CompTIA Security+ exam without just reading a book or watching a video?

What if you could actually create real-life attack scenarios in the comfort of your own home using the very tools the attackers use?

Maybe You Have Questions...

  • Do I need to know Linux?
  • What programming languages do I need?
  • How long will it take?
  • I'm new, where should I start?

The cybersecurity sector is a hot field.  According to Symantec, "the demand for the (cybersecurity) workforce is expected to rise to 6 million (globally) by 2019, with a projected shortfall of 1.5 million" and the 2014 Cisco Annual Security Report warned that there was an estimated 1 million openings in cybersecurity.

Cybersecurity positions are on the rise.  Cybersecurity was the top IT priority in the Obama administration and appears to be a priority for Trump as well.  There is a deep need for talented, professional white-hat hackers who can protect critical infrastructure and make a positive difference in the world.

This is what most people do...

Most people who want to get into cybersecurity make the rookie mistake of wading through endless blogs, books (Messer and Myers), Youtube videos, magazines and Reddit forums trying to read everything they can about hacking.  

With this approach, you'll probably gain some good head knowledge about how to hack, but if a potential employer gave you an Ethernet jack and a laptop and said:

Here, go break into our enterprise - you've got 30 minutes.

Would you know what to do?  

The raw truth

Most professional hackers can gain domain administrator rights before lunch.  

It's not hard but if you don't know where to begin it can be extremely challenging.

Do it right the first time

That's where the Weekend Pen-Testing Lab Creation Boot camp comes in.  This intensive two-day boot camp shortcuts your time investment by training you to build a professional-grade penetration testing lab.

This is a hands-on course that will transform you into a confident penetration tester (even if you have no prior experience).  

The boot camp is a step-by-step system for building a practice lab so you can gain the experience you need to become a professional penetration tester.  You can then use your lab not only as a platform to pass the CompTIA Security+ exam but also other more advanced certifications such as the CEH "Certified Ethical Hacker" and others.

By the end of this course, not only will you know how to hack but you'll have the infrastructure in place to hone your tradecraft and become an excellent candidate for entry level penetration testing jobs.  

If you do the work, complete the exercises and practice your hacks - you will succeed.  You will be building a professional pen-testing lab using the very same attack tools the bad guys use to breach organizations and compromise systems.

Are you up for the challenge?

 When you finish this course, you will:

  • Feel a deep sense of confidence and responsibility as you'll not only know how to hack Windows servers and clients but also how to explain how its done to your colleagues and friends.  You'll feel smarter because you'll BE smarter.
  • Feel in control of your career as you'll have a complete hacking lab established on your computer with the exact attack tools used by black-hat hackers and professional penetration testers.
  • You'll have a platform to practice and refine your tradecraft as you attack Windows, Linux and web server systems all within the safety of your lab environment.

Here's what you'll get

  • 6 hands-on modules that walk you through the basics of building a pen-test lab.  You'll learn the step-by-step process for setting up vulnerable hosts and executing sophisticated attacks against them in the comfort of your own home.  Everything takes place in a lab that emulates real production networks so you'll gain the first step of experience needed to apply for entry-level pen-testing jobs.  Another side-benefit is that you may be able to leverage the skills you gain from this course to negotiate a higher salary and more challenging career options.
  • 28 resource guides with summaries of all the commands used in the video lesson as well as explanations as to what each command did.  
  • The course is 100% online and 100% downloadable so you can take it with you on the go even without an internet connection.
  • You have unlimited updates.  The cybersecurity landscape is continually evolving thus we are continually updating the course and adding new content to keep it relevant.  By the course one time today and you'll get grandfathered into updates forever.

Here's what you'll create

  • A pen-test lab including a Kali Linux attack box, a Windows XP host, a Windows 2008 Domain Controller and a vulnerable webserver.
  • A completely isolated environment where you can perfect your skills over-and-over again without any fear of breaking a real production system

Your time is now.
