Welcome back to our continuing journey of pen testing here where we kick off
pin 200.
And we're going to be covering a wide variety of topics all throughout this
course as we start to get into advanced tool usage and also some very advanced
techniques when we start to actually exploit some of the boxes themselves.
First things first, let's always remember if we're pen testing, let's get our
system or network owners permission.
And when we do conduct that pen test, make sure it's within the bounds of the
agreed upon scope. We don't want to begin in trouble as we're going out doing
our exploring.
But there are a few things that we're going to be covering along the way. First
and foremost, like we've always talked about before, we're going to be doing
information gathering where we do a lot of reconnaissance and the theme going
throughout this is you're going to notice that we've and we've covered this
before.
The basic five phases of going into pen testing, which will get more in detail
here in just a moment as we get into our first topic of note taken.
And that's a part of information gathering as we continue on after we establish
how do we do our notes just as a baseline. You ain't got to do everything by
the way I say.
We also want to go into vulnerability scanning because we don't know what to
exploit if we don't have a fair idea of what it is that we're actually
leveraging against.
We're going to be going over a lot of the tool usage and how to actually read
some of those reports and get an idea on if we can leverage something or if it
's worth our actual time to try and do.
Because as we know there are many different ways to scan that orange and once
we get past the actual vulnerability assessment and understanding our
plane and scope of how we're actually going to be pen testing an organization
or an individual system.
We're going to get into the actual attacks themselves and start going way more
deeper into some of the tools that we introduced in the 100 and 103 courses
along the way.
And once we get through all that we're going to start putting all the pieces
together and kind of wrap up on how we can actually come back around and fill
out that executive summary for our finalize report.
Now we'll be getting into the executive summary here in this particular skill,
but I wanted to let you know it's good to know the note taking and executive
summary stuff now.
So that way we can have it as a baseline of understanding as we go throughout
all the different techniques that we've learned for pen testing.
Now with all that out of the way, let's go ahead and do it to it and start
getting into our note taking
