About This Course
Ethical hacking involves authorized attempts to gain unauthorized access to a computer system, application, or data. By mimicking the techniques of malicious actors, you can discover security holes before they are exploited.
This course is a deep dive into offensive security. You will learn to navigate the Kali Linux environment, use the Metasploit framework, and conduct full-scale penetration tests that provide organizations with actionable security intelligence.
