This workshop will focus on advanced topics in Penetration Testing. We will go through the entire penetration testing process – information gathering, enumeration, vulnerability analysis, exploitation, post exploitation, and reporting. We will explore a variety of different penetration testing tools and their advanced capabilities. We will be attacking and compromising live systems while attempting to circumvent modern security features such as anti-virus. We will use critical thinking and creativity to successfully compromise systems. This workshop will be very technical with complex real-life cyber security issues, pushing your technical skills to the next level and turning you into a white-hat hacker.

Penetration testing process and methodology
Vulnerability identification & research
Advanced Windows & Linux command-line usage
Advanced Windows & Linux exploitation
Compiling and modifying public exploits
Bypassing common security protections such as anti-virus
Advanced privilege escalation techniques
Advanced capabilities and usage of penetration testing tools
