Description
Why you want to take this course
I am not one to keep my company secrets a secret, which kind of defeats the point of the word, but I strongly believe in sharing knowledge. That's why I have created a guide that I think comprehensively covers this whole process. Pentesting is an art form and I'd like to teach how to do it.
What is this course?
This course takes you through 10 modules, each having it's own objective with a capstone assignment that will guide you through network pen-testing, web, and even API pen-testing. I've created practical labs to guide you through the process so you are not just theoretically richer after completing this course.
Who am I?
Let's start with the obligated section about who I am first. My name is Wesley Thijs and i have been an instructor and public figure for about 4 years, garnering 100 000+ students in my time doing it. Recently, however, I wanted to expand my business and I included pen testing as a service we offer. This means we also sometimes get requests for hundreds of hours of testing and this is impossible to do alone. I manage a team of several highly skilled cybersecurity professionals I have been able to pick out over the years I have been training.
My team needed a standard way of testing and a standard education however so I created this plan to teach them how to pentest, how to handle clients, and everything involved in successfully completing an assignment from start to finish.
Who this course is for:
- Hackers wanting to get into pentesting
- Pentesters wanting to start a company

I am the XSS Rat, an experienced ethical hacker who stands for quality and who believes knowledge is a building block we can all use to grow bigger than we ever were. As a software test i have a unique skill set that centers around logic flaws and IDORs which i have not seen very much by other hunters. This gives me the advantage of finding less duplicates and maximizing my chance of finding a vulnerability by picking the correct target and applying the correct test strategy.
