Whether you already hold Security plus or are working toward it, this is the next rung. You cover recon, exploits, privilege escalation and the report at the end. It is built for the step past defence.
You stop guarding the wall and start testing where it gives way.
Recon, social engineering, network and host attacks, then post-exploitation.
Reporting and communicating results sits inside the course, with its own module.
Someone has to try breaking in before a stranger does. The work is easy to picture. You get permission, map the target, find the gap, then write up how you got through. Businesses pay for that report.
Watches for threats and closes the gaps that get found.
Tests systems on purpose, with permission, then reports back.
Thinks like an attacker so a business can fix it first.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience.
Three months, from first scan through to the written report.
Three things shape this one. A full attack chain, the reporting half, and exam fees included.
From information gathering through to post-exploitation activities.
Network exploitation covers cabled and wireless, plus bypassing controls.
A test nobody can read is wasted. Writing the report is taught.
