CompTIA Pentest+ (PT0-002) Cert Prep: 2 Information Gathering and Vulnerability Scanning

If you really want to launch a successful attack, you need to map out the relevant network vulnerabilities beforehand so you know when, where, and how to structure the attack. That’s why getting certified by CompTIA gives you the skills you need to be a well-informed pen tester. In this course, instructor Michael Solomon helps you prepare for the second domain of the CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) certification exam, walking you through the best practices for information gathering and vulnerability scanning in order to find out what’s at stake with a particular engagement–—long before you even start testing. Along the way, learn how to use key testing techniques for scanning and enumeration, demos, packet investigations, passive and active reconnaissance, vulnerability scanning, target considerations, Nmap scoping and timing, credential attacks, and more.
