This course will be useful to anyone who is an experienced cybersecurity practitioner and would like to take their skills to the next level. You will begin a multi-stage process by performing reconnaissance and simulating an attack using Metasploit. You’ll then exploit code-execution, injection, and web-app vulnerabilities. Lastly, you’ll exploit access, network, data, and file-configuration vulnerabilities.
These all contribute to the first stage of the overall CFR-A program: Attack. This is the first course in a multi-course Specialization. All of the courses in this Specialization require that you use the provided virtual machines, which include all of the necessary tools and system configurations for the activity environment. The course setup instructions provided in the first module of this course go into more detail about the hardware and software requirements.
