Network Penetration Testing
Learn the methodology and tools used by professional penetration testers to assess network security. From initial reconnaissance to post-exploitation, this path covers the complete network penetration testing lifecycle. You'll learn to use industry-standard tools like Nmap, Metasploit, and various exploitation frameworks while understanding the underlying concepts that make these attacks possible.
