CompTIA PenTest+ Certification Training
This is where you stop thinking like a defender and start thinking like an attacker. CompTIA PenTest+ teaches you to plan, scope, and execute penetration tests the way professionals do — legally, methodically, and with a report at the end that a client can actually act on. The PT0-03 version leans hard into hands-on skill: scanning, exploitation, post-exploitation, and the scripting and tooling that real engagements demand. If you want to break things to make them stronger, this course gets you there.
Course Overview
The course follows the PT0-003 domains, with every concept reinforced in Cyberyami's isolated lab range where you run real tools against vulnerable targets at no risk to production systems. Heavy emphasis falls on the full engagement lifecycle — not just exploitation, but the scoping and reporting that define professional testing.
- Engagement Management — Planning and scoping; governance, legal, and compliance; rules of engagement; professional and ethical responsibilities
- Reconnaissance & Enumeration — Passive and active recon; OSINT; host, service, and application enumeration; attack-surface mapping
- Vulnerability Discovery & Analysis — Scanning; analyzing and validating findings; prioritizing by exploitability and impact; mapping to attack paths
- Attacks & Exploitation — Network, web, mobile, wireless, cloud, and host exploitation; password attacks; exploiting misconfigurations and known vulnerabilities
- Post-exploitation & Lateral Movement — Persistence; privilege escalation, pivoting, and lateral movement; controlled data collection; responsible cleanup
- Scripting & Reporting — Bash, Python, and PowerShell automation; clear, actionable reporting and risk communication
