Think Like an Attacker Using CompTIA PenTest+ Skills

Описание: 🔴 Think Like an Attacker Using CompTIA PenTest+ Skills
📅 February 22 · 8 PM IST – Set Reminder ▶️

Modern cybersecurity teams must understand how attackers think, plan, and execute real-world intrusions. Defensive knowledge alone is no longer enough. To build resilient systems, professionals need hands-on insight into offensive tactics — from reconnaissance and exploitation to post-exploitation and lateral movement.

This session introduces a practical, attacker-oriented framework inspired by CompTIA PenTest+ methodology. Instead of theory-heavy explanations, the focus is on real penetration testing workflows: managing engagements, identifying vulnerabilities, executing exploits, and evaluating how attackers move inside compromised networks.

Led by Kaveri Kaur, Senior Corporate Trainer, this session equips participants with the mindset and skills needed to simulate attacker behavior ethically and strengthen organizational defense.

🔍 What you’ll learn:

1. Engagement Management

Defining the rules of engagement, scope, and testing boundaries.
Understanding legal, ethical, and operational considerations.
Planning assessments, selecting tools, and preparing testing environments.
Coordinating communication and reporting expectations with stakeholders.

2. Attacks and Exploits

Performing reconnaissance and identifying potential attack surfaces.
Executing exploits against misconfigurations, weak services, and insecure applications.
Understanding exploit chains and how attackers weaponize vulnerabilities.
Testing system resilience against common and emerging attack techniques.

3. Vulnerability Discovery and Analysis

Using automated scanners and manual testing to uncover weaknesses.
Validating findings, removing false positives, and prioritizing risks.
Analyzing vulnerabilities to determine exploitability and real impact.
Documenting discoveries in structured, actionable formats.

4. Post-Exploitation and Lateral Movement

What attackers do after gaining initial access.
Escalating privileges, maintaining persistence, and harvesting credentials.
Techniques used to move across systems and expand control within a network.
How post-exploitation teaches defenders to improve detection and response.

5. Ethical Use of Offensive Skills

Understanding the balance between offensive insight and responsible practice.
How penetration testing strengthens long-term defense strategies.
Building a strong security posture through continuous testing and refinement.

6. Real-World PenTest+ Scenarios

Simulating attacker workflows based on real enterprise environments.
Demonstrating how a small misconfiguration can lead to full compromise.
Translating attacker behavior into stronger detection and mitigation strategies.
