Evaluation of qualifications
Possible interview

The course builds upon the foundational knowledge acquired in the basic advanced training program “Penetration Tester” (contractual and technical planning, execution of enumeration activities, vulnerability identification, exploitation and post-exploitation, and report writing), and enhances it within the context of a mixed industrial infrastructure (Windows and GNU/Linux) managed through Active Directory and protected by perimeter defense mechanisms such as firewalls and Windows Defender.

The course will enable participants to learn and apply the most innovative methodologies and tools for Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing on mixed enterprise infrastructures based on GNU/Linux and Windows, centrally managed via Active Directory and protected by perimeter defense tools and antivirus systems. The course will also address the legal and ethical boundaries of intervention, as well as techniques for drafting professional reports. An innovative teaching approach will be used, including pre-recorded lectures, live-streamed tutoring sessions, and both individual and group exercises. The educational activities are scheduled to accommodate working students as well. Detailed information about the course content is provided in the project outline.
