This PenTest+ path allowed me to practice the majority of practical skills required for the CompTIA PenTest+ exam. In this I learned about
- Industry standard penetration testing tools
- Identifying and exploiting different network services
- Exploiting web applications through today’s most common vulnerabilities
- Understanding Windows active directory and attacking Kerberos
- Post exploitation techniques (with Powerview, Bloodhound and Mimikatz)
CompTIA PenTest+ is for cybersecurity professionals tasked with penetration testing and vulnerability management.
Prerequisites
I needed to have a basic understand of fundamental computing principles and have studied the theoretical knowledge in the CompTIA PenTest+ syllabus to complete this.
