Attacks and Exploits: Network and Application Attacks for CompTIA PenTest+ is a focused training course designed to help learners build the practical knowledge and analytical skills required to research attack vectors and understand exploitation techniques in the context of ethical penetration testing.
The course aligns closely with CompTIA PenTest+ objectives, covering network, wireless, password, and application attacks in a professional, legal, and exam-oriented framework.
About This Course
Penetration testers must understand how attackers exploit weaknesses in networks and applications in order to secure them effectively. In this course, you’ll explore real-world attack techniques commonly assessed in penetration testing engagements, while always maintaining an ethical and defensive mindset.
You will learn how attacks are researched, executed, and analyzed during authorized security tests — and how this knowledge is applied when preparing for the CompTIA PenTest+ certification exam.
