OffSec PEN-200 - Offensive Security Professional (OSCP)

The OffSec PEN-200 course, also known as the Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) training, is one of the most prestigious and sought-after certifications in the cybersecurity industry. This rigorous and hands-on course is designed for aspiring penetration testers, security professionals, and ethical hackers who want to build their expertise in exploiting vulnerabilities, compromising systems, and performing penetration tests on real-world environments.

PEN-200 provides a comprehensive curriculum that blends theoretical knowledge with practical skills. Throughout the course, students will engage in a series of labs, exercises, and challenges designed to simulate real-world hacking scenarios. The course's focus is on offensive security skills, and it pushes students to think like hackers, learning how to bypass security defenses and exploit weaknesses to gain access to systems. By the end of the training, students will be well-prepared to take the OSCP exam, a challenging test that requires you to demonstrate the skills you’ve learned in a live environment.

What Will You Learn?

• Penetration Testing Methodologies: Learn the full lifecycle of a penetration test, from reconnaissance and vulnerability scanning to exploitation, post-exploitation, and reporting.

• Information Gathering & Reconnaissance: Master techniques to gather information about target systems using network scanning, DNS interrogation, web scraping, and other reconnaissance methods.

• Exploitation of Vulnerabilities: Learn how to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in a variety of systems, from misconfigurations and weak passwords to unpatched software vulnerabilities and buffer overflows.

• Privilege Escalation & Lateral Movement: Gain proficiency in techniques used to escalate privileges within compromised systems and move laterally across networks to gather further access.

• Web Application Security: Explore common web application vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), and how to exploit them in penetration tests.

• Wireless Network Hacking: Learn how to exploit wireless networks, including attacking WPA/WPA2, breaking WEP encryption, and other wireless network security flaws.

• Client-Side Attacks: Understand the techniques used to exploit client-side vulnerabilities, such as phishing attacks, malicious files, and other social engineering tactics to gain initial access to systems.

• Bypassing Antivirus and EDR Systems: Learn how to circumvent antivirus, endpoint detection and response (EDR) systems, and firewalls, which are commonly used to detect and prevent attacks.

• Post-Exploitation & Maintaining Access: Understand the processes of maintaining access, collecting credentials, and gathering information from compromised systems, including techniques for persistence and covert operations.

• Reporting & Documentation: Develop the skills to document your findings and create detailed penetration testing reports, including vulnerability details, exploitation methods, and remediation advice.

• Ethical Hacking Best Practices: Learn ethical guidelines, legal considerations, and best practices when performing penetration tests in real-world environments, ensuring you comply with industry standards and regulations.

Course Highlights:

• Real-World Hands-On Labs: Gain access to a dedicated lab environment where you can perform penetration tests on various machines and networks, replicating real-world penetration testing challenges.

• OSCP Exam Preparation: This course is designed specifically to prepare you for the OSCP exam, which is one of the most challenging certifications in the penetration testing domain.
