Penetration testing (pen testing) involves simulating real-world cyberattacks on a computer system, network, or application to identify security vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors. The discovery and analysis of vulnerabilities are critical steps in this process. In this course, explore how to conduct vulnerability discovery using various techniques, including container, application, and network scanning. Next, learn about common vulnerability discovery tools and how to conduct vulnerability discovery on industrial control systems (ICS). Finally, discover how to analyze output from reconnaissance, scanning, and enumeration phases, as well as common security concepts including tailgating, site surveys, universal serial bus (USB) drops, badge cloning, and lock picking. This course is one of a collection that helps prepare learners for the CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-003) certification exam.
