Information Gathering and Vulnerability Scanning for CompTIA Pentest+
Offered By: Pluralsight
Course Description
Overview
Reconnaissance is one of the most important phases in a penetration testing engagement. This course will teach you how to perform information gathering and vulnerability scanning needed for the CompTIA Pentest+ certification.
With the pentest plan and scope defined, your next step it to gather information about your target as well as perform vulnerability scans to understand the potential attack vectors that can be exploited. In this course, Information Gathering and Vulnerability Scanning for CompTIA Pentest+, you’ll learn how to gather personal and technical information about your target that will be later used during the exploitation phase. First, you’ll explore how to gather technical information about your target. Next, you’ll discover how to harvest information about the employees of a company. Finally, you’ll learn how to perform vulnerability scans to identify potential vulnerabilities. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Information Gathering and Vulnerability Scanning needed for the CompTIA Pentest+ Certification (PT0-002).
