This module introduces learners to the foundational phase of penetration testing: reconnaissance. You will learn how to gather information about a target using both traditional open-source intelligence (OSINT) techniques and AI-powered automation. Emphasis is placed on the importance of obtaining clear, written client permission before any testing begins. The module covers Google Dorking, the use of cheat sheets for advanced search techniques, and the deployment of SpiderFoot, a powerful OSINT automation tool commonly found in Kali Linux. You will see how AI can help automate the collection and analysis of publicly available data to identify potential vulnerabilities and targets.

This module moves from information gathering to vulnerability discovery. Learners will use Burp Suite, a leading web application security testing tool, to scan for common vulnerabilities, including those listed in the OWASP Top 10. The module highlights the differences between Burp Suite Community and Professional editions, especially regarding AI-powered features. Learners will practice automated and manual testing using Burp’s Scanner, Intruder, and Repeater tools, and see how AI can prioritize and analyze results.

In this module, learners will leverage AI to automate the exploitation of discovered vulnerabilities and maintain post-exploitation access. The focus is on using Metasploit, a widely used penetration testing framework, in combination with PentestGPT, a specialized AI for cybersecurity. Learners will receive step-by-step guidance for exploiting services such as SSH, creating and deploying payloads, and using advanced features like Meterpreter and msfvenom for custom payload generation.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
You will be eligible for a full refund until two weeks after your payment date, or (for courses that have just launched) until two weeks after the first session of the course begins, whichever is later. You cannot receive a refund once you’ve earned a Course Certificate, even if you complete the course within the two-week refund period. See our full refund policy.
