30 Bird - CompTIA PenTest+ w/Cert Prep
Welcome to CompTIA PentTest+ Certification Exam PT0-002. This course provides the knowledge needed to plan and perform penetration tests and other security engagements, using a vendor-neutral format. This includes planning engagements, performing reconnaissance to find vulnerabilities in a target organization, exploiting vulnerable targets, and creating follow-up reports. This course maps to the CompTIA PenTest+ PT0-002 certification exam. You can download an objective map for the course from http://www.30bird.com.
You will benefit most from this course if you intend to become a certified penetration tester, or if you are a security professional who wishes to understand cybersecurity from an offensive perspective. This course assumes that you have some applied knowledge of computers, networks, and cybersecurity principles. Knowledge equivalent to the CompTIA Security+ certification is helpful but not necessary.
