Introduction to CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002)

“

- Hi, I'm Michael Solomon, educator, author, and cybersecurity consultant. Welcome to this course. This course is for anyone who wants to sit for and pass the CompTIA PenTest+ PT0-002 exam and earn the PenTest+ Certification, or if you just want to learn how to be an ethical hacker and pen tester. Some of the most fun I've ever had as a consultant has been carrying out penetration tests. So if that sounds exciting to you, you get to act like a hacker, but you don't get in trouble, so this is the course for you. Let's take a look at how to get the most out of this course. The first thing you want to do is watch the videos and carry out the accompanying labs. We're going to have demonstrations that you can follow along with and labs that you work on by yourself. You also are going to have reference slide handouts that have lots of extra information and links for you to follow to find more resources. Make sure you take the quizzes at the end of each chapter to test your knowledge. This course follows along with McGraw Hill CompTIA PenTest+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, and it is for Exam PT0-002, 2nd Edition. This can be purchased separately, but it's highly recommended because it's that much more information for you to use to develop your knowledge base for the PenTest+ exam. You also want to find lots of practice tests to take. The more practice tests you take, the better prepared you'll be to sit for the certification exam. The CompTIA PenTest+ PT0-002 Exam covers five domains, and we'll cover every one of them in this video series. Domain 1 is Planning and Scoping. Domain 2 is Information Gathering and Vulnerability Scanning. Domain 3 is Attacks and Exploits, and Domain 4 is Reporting and Communication. And finally, Domain 5 is Tools and Code Analysis. If you want to be prepared to be a professional penetration tester, this is the course for you.
