Penetration Testing

PEN-100 is designed to prepare students with the necessary prerequisites to enter into Penetration Testing with Kali Linux (PWK), also known as PEN-200. PEN-100 material is divided into Topics. Each Topic has multiple Learning Units, and a Learning Unit is a digestible, atomic piece of training that can be consumed within 1 to 3 hours on average, depending on the student. Each Learning Unit is defined by several Learning Objectives: discreet and practical goals for the student to strive for. Learning Objectives are assessed at the end of each Learning Unit via hands-on exercises. Many exercises require the student to show their skills by interacting with Offensive Security lab machines. The following syllabus contains the various Topics and Learning Units. Students are encouraged to consume the content in whichever order they wish, however, most students will benefit from following the prescribed order.
