In this module, we will delve into setting up a virtual lab environment. You will learn to install and configure Kali Linux, Windows 10, Metasploitable2 and Metasploitable3, and OWASP virtual machines. Additionally, we'll cover how to take snapshots of your current configurations.

In this module, we will explore the crucial aspect of documentation in penetration testing. You'll understand the importance of scoping engagements, creating Statements of Work, Rules of Engagement, Master Service Agreements, and NDAs, as well as compiling a comprehensive Pentesting Final Report.

In this module, we will cover key penetration testing frameworks. You'll gain high-level insights into the MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, and PTES frameworks, learning how to apply their principles to real-world penetration testing activities.

In this module, we will focus on Nmap, a powerful tool for network discovery. You'll learn to conduct various scans, including service and version detection, OS detection, and host discovery. Additionally, we'll explore the Nmap Scripting Engine and how to analyze scan results.

In this module, we will introduce you to OpenVAS, a comprehensive vulnerability scanner. You will learn how to perform vulnerability scans, interpret the results, and understand the scanner's capabilities for various testing scenarios.

In this module, we will cover techniques for information gathering. You'll learn about banner grabbing and using tools like WinPEAS for automated enumeration, aiding in the reconnaissance phase of penetration testing.

In this module, we will explore reverse shells and persistent connections. You will learn to create persistent backdoors, reverse shells using PowerShell, and launch graphical console windows using SSH and XTERM for remote system management.

In this module, we will examine privilege escalation techniques. You'll learn to identify vulnerabilities like Unquoted Service Path and perform privilege escalation on Windows 7 and 10 using UAC bypass methods.

In this module, we will cover the OWASP Top 10 web application vulnerabilities. You'll learn to mitigate these vulnerabilities using various tools and techniques, including assembling fake TCP/IP packets with Hping3 and conducting scans with OWASP ZAP.

In this module, we will focus on testing web applications. You'll learn to configure BurpSuite, perform SQL injection attacks using SQLmap, detect web application firewalls with WAFW00F, and exploit vulnerabilities like HTTP PUT method and brute-forcing WordPress passwords.

In this module, we will teach you how to compile exploit code for Linux and Windows. You will also learn to prepare a Windows OVA file for your virtual lab and cross-compile exploits using tools like Mingw-w64.

In this module, we will cover scripting techniques for penetration testing. You'll learn to use Kali web shells, transfer files using HTTP and PowerShell's WebClient, and perform tasks like string slicing in Python and disabling Windows 10 UAC using PowerShell.
