Hence, we have organized this class to be a well-rounded experience, allowing both aspiring red teamers and blue teamers to get the most out of it. This class will provide students with hands-on experience with all phases of a penetration test, from information gathering to reporting.
An introductory penetration testing class like this will only be beneficial to students who intimately know computer networking and have Windows & Linux administration experience. Existing experience with Windows command line, Linux administration, and Active Directory is highly recommended. For example, students should know how a packet traverses from point A to point B on the OSI model, how to manage users in Active Directory, and what HTTP GET and POST requests look like. Students should be comfortable with the Linux command line as our primary attack host will be Linux-based.
Students should bring a laptop capable of running a Kali Linux VM and connecting to a wireless network. Please download Kali Linux from https://www.kali.org/get-kali/#kali-platforms and set it up to ensure the following tools are installed:
