Cybersecurity is a global problem and most businesses are willing to hire skilled cybersecurity consultants for their security, it all starts with the basics, in this course learn the basics of penetration testing covering all 5 phases of penetration testing. This course not only focuses on conceptual understandings but also a good amount of time has been given to building the mindset for being good at offensive security.

I've taught this course to more than 100 students in our previous cybersecurity training program and these are live recordings of those sessions with the practicals that I have performed for the students to grasp not only the concept in theory but also in practicality to make sure they can perform those practicals in a live environment(personal or allowed third-party assets.)

This course is for anybody willing to start their career in cybersecurity technical skills and it will provide a foundation which can help them slowly advance themselves.

We also use to conduct our weekly talks and one such recording of a talk has been added to the course to provide a sense of giving back to the community and interacting with fellow industry people.

Looking forward to interacting throughout the course!
