System administrators often use automations for easier server management but, sometimes unknowingly put the servers, and the organization's data, to risk. Hackers use these misconfigurations to gain access to an organisation's resources and exfiltrate sensitive information.

Penetration testers often shy away from looking into other fields than their expertise, believing that it takes a significant learning curve to become a competent pen-tester. Learning the fundamentals and putting the attacks into practice can help save the organisation from the potential breaches.

That is why we created this course. To help penetration testers like you learn and apply the pentesting skills into practice without violating law or compromising on your schedule.

Most cyber experts have a humble beginning of learning the fundamentals. Building an understanding of how systems work takes time. And a bit more time when you want to understand, exploit, and advise an appropriate patch to the team.

Getting into cybersecurity maybe hard, but, gaining experience with computer systems and breaking them comes with absolutely zero-requirement and 100% self interest.

Every expert was once new to the cybersecurity industry. You need to just get started.

Security is a demanding field. Having absolutely no time for self-learning for days and even weeks is just a regular occurrence, and we understand that.

If you take a giant task of completing one topic (ex: Network Security) with planned sub-topics and make slow, consistent progress regularly, it becomes attainable. And over time, every effort adds up to the skillset. Just investing a few after-work hours into self-paced learning gets rewarding when seen in the hindsight.

Most of the online labs, like ours, give you a one-click lab start with a pre-configured environment which saves a lot of hassle and time to jump into your regular security training regimen.

Cloud simulation has opened up a golden gate for security practitioners altogether. Having an environment so effortless that clicking a button and waiting for less than a few seconds is all you need to do to jump into the action—no configuration of virtual environments, no third-party tools or VMs.

Everything comes preconfigured which saves a lot of hassle that usually comes with setting up a VM-based lab. Perfectly suitable for any pentester who's on the run most of the time. 

As tools are essential, the technique of using the tools and tactic to chain multiple attacks together to execute the exploitation is an art in itself. This is barely achieved by software of our age, and hence the human factor makes it a highly valuable skill that a pentester is paid for.

In this edition of PTP, you start by learning the most fundamental pentesting and security assessment tools, which proceeds to identify multiple vulnerabilities in an intentionally vulnerable environment and then applying the acquired knowledge to chain together and hack into the system.
