Advanced Penetration Tester (APT) Training and Certification - Pen Testing High Security Environments
Welcome hackers, to the newest and most heated training to increase your penetration testing skill set. Be ready to learn pentesting high security environments.
Summary
The Advanced Penetration Tester (APT) certification training class by LSO International is an intense, hands-on training class that makes traditional pentesting training classes look like a Security+ class. LSO International is a conglomorate of IT security and security training's most respected professionals. This team of industry seasoned professionals were looking to create a course that disects the art of hacking and creates professionals who deeply understand the "why's" of pen testing so that all traditional barriers can be broken.
Learn through hands-on training how to take different paths, use alternate methods and challenge traditional practices and software in penetration testing. This class will take the port-scanning security professional to a whole new frame of mind with a whole new level of skill sets. Hack into high security environments using tools and procedures that you have never thought of.
Advanced Penetration Tester Class Description
Advanced Penetration Testing (APT): Pentesting High Security Environments course is a five-day intensive that focuses attacking and defending highly secured environments such as 3-letter agencies, DoD, financial organizations, federal organizations, and large companies.
This is NOT your normal ethical hacking course. You won't be attacking unpatched Windows 2000 Servers, and you won't be learning a bunch of outdated tools like most ethical hacking courses.
In APT, you will be learning how to attack new operating systems such as Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, and the latest Linux servers. All of these servers will be patched, and hardened. Both Network and Host-based Intrusion Detection/Preventions systems (IDS/IPS) will be in place as well. The learning curve is high, but the rewards are astronomical.
The course starts with attacking heavily protected environments from the outside and dealing with things like Load Balancing, Deep Packet Inspection, and Network-Based IDS/IPS. Next is attacking web applications and dealing with common application security measures in PHP/ASP.NET, and Web Application Firewalls.
Then the course moves on to attacking from the LAN, dealing with NAC solutions, locked down workstations/GPOs, and Host-Based IDS/IPS. Then finally the last section of the course covers gaining control of Active Directory.
Pentesting High Security Environments is NOT a death by powerpoint course. 80% of class is hands-on hacking labs.
Students that are Network/System Administrators with three (3) or more years experience working in environments such as financial institutions, DoD networks, or similar high security environments will benefit greatly from this course. It is however primarily designed for Network/Web Application Penetration testers that are looking for the little tricks that will help them better attack high security environments.
