What
InfosecTrain, a leading cybersecurity training provider, is hosting a free two-day masterclass on “Penetration Testing Interview Essentials: Strategies for Success”. This masterclass is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the key concepts, tools, and real-world practices in the field of penetration testing, with a specific focus on preparing for interviews in this domain.
Day 1 will begin with foundational knowledge, covering the core principles and methodologies used in penetration testing, such as OSSTMM, PTES, and NIST SP 800-115. It will then delve into essential tools and techniques, including Metasploit, Nmap, Burp Suite, and Wireshark, while also addressing the practical exploitation of vulnerabilities, such as SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and Buffer Overflow. Participants will also explore privilege escalation and lateral movement through simulated tests and case studies, gaining an understanding of how red and blue teams function in real-world scenarios.
Day 2 will progress to advanced exploitation and evasion tactics, including bypassing firewalls and IDS/IPS systems, post-exploitation methods, and social engineering simulations. It will then focus on interview readiness, offering mock tests, technical exercises, and strategies for behavioral and scenario-based interviews. The session will conclude with guidance on building a cybersecurity career, selecting the right certifications, such as OSCP, CEH, and GPEN, and developing an effective portfolio.
