Introduction to Offensive Security

It’s becoming more and more common for organizations to hire “offensive” hackers to mimic attackers and identify areas of risk before malicious actors can exploit them. In this course, Bobby Rauch explains exactly what offensive security professionals do, what tools they use, and how to develop their hacker mindsets. Bobby gears the course to newcomers to offensive hacking, starting with the basics, defining white, gray, and black hat hackers, and explaining the difference between red teaming, penetration testing, and vulnerability assessments. He teaches you how to think like an attacker, shares key industry terms and lingo, and shows you how to use common tools for different cybersecurity disciplines.
