I have a new course available on Pluralsight. It’s another Red Team Tools course focused course on Spiderfoot. It is part of the Pluralsight Red Team Tools learning path.
While my other courses are a couple hours of content, the Reconnaissance with Spiderfoot course is 38 minutes. It is designed to be a quick introduction and heavily focused on demonstrating how to use Spiderfoot for recon in red team engagements. (Course overview video)
I have a new course available on Pluralsight. It’s a new type of course for me. My previous courses have been long-form courses. This one is shorter, tool-focused course on Shodan. It is part of the Pluralsight Red Team Tools learning path.
While my other courses are a couple hours of content, the Reconnaissance with Shodan course is 27 minutes. It is designed to be a quick introduction and heavily focused on demonstrating how to use Shodan for recon in red team engagements. (Course overview video)
I have another Pluralsight course published. Still focusing on penetration testing, I was asked to create a high level overview course on the subject. Penetration Testing: The Big Picture was published on October 6, 2017 and looks at a wide variety of topics on penetration testing.
The focus in this course is to present information about pen testing that would be useful to those interested in learning more about it as a career option or training direction. It can also be useful for individuals and organizations interested in hiring pen testers or organizations seeking pen testing services.
After many months of effort, my first Pluralsight course, Introduction to Penetration Testing Using Metasploit is now available. Here is the official course description:
Metasploit is one of the most widely used tools for penetration testing, providing powerful attack simulations, security assessment management, and more. In this course, Introduction to Penetration Testing Using Metasploit, you’ll learn to use Metasploit to enumerate available services, identify potential weaknesses, test vulnerabilities through exploitation, and gather evidence for reporting. First, you’ll see how to install and configure the Metasploit Framework and several supporting tools on Kali Linux. Next, you’ll explore how exploits and payloads work together to gain access to systems. Finally, you’ll look at how Metasploit Framework releases are made available and how to maintain the latest version of the Framework. By the end of this course, you’ll have a better understanding of how to use Metasploit to quickly assess the security posture of systems and networks to reduce risk.
I received terrific support from the Pluralsight team in creating this course. They are very active in communicating, listening, and work with their authors. They have tools and a process for getting courses out the door. I was surprised by this attention to authors and to the details most of all.
