Synopsis

Cybersecurity attacks grow more complex every day. The first edition of Wilson's COMPTIA PENTEST+ GUIDE TO PENETRATION TESTING helps students gain the knowledge and skills necessary to analyze systems in the same way hackers do, to identify vulnerabilities and to reduce security risks. All the information needed to successfully pass the CompTIA PenTest+ PTO-002 certification exam is included in this text. It contains detailed examples, projects, and hands-on activities where students can practice using the actual tools and methodologies needed to be a successful penetration tester. The author begins by exploring the concept of penetration testing and the second module of the book walks students through the process of building their own penetration testing lab of virtual machines. The final module of the course brings everything together with a final project, which guides the reader in the creation of a penetration testing report that includes all the areas covered in earlier modules.
