Overview
90-day access to virtual lab environment
Evasion Techniques and Breaching Defences (PEN-300) is an advanced penetration testing course. It builds on the knowledge and techniques taught in Penetration Testing with Kali Linux (PWK), teaching students to perform advanced penetration tests against mature organizations with an established security function.
As a general rule, it will not specifically deal with the act of evading a blue team but rather focus on bypassing security mechanisms that are designed to block attacks. This course is one of the replacements for the Cracking the Perimeter (CTP) course – retired October 15, 2020.
The Offensive Security Experienced Penetration Tester certification (OSEP) is an advanced penetration testing cert. We recommend starting with PWK and earning the OSCP penetration testing certification first. Once students have completed the PEN-300 course material and practiced their skills in the labs, they’re ready to take the certification exam.
The OSEP exam has a 48-hour time limit and consists of a hands-on penetration test in our isolated VPN network. Students will receive the exam and connectivity instructions for an isolated network for which they have no prior knowledge or exposure. The network will simulate a corporate network in which they must attempt to compromise targets. This exam is included and proctored.
Target Audience
Evasion Techniques and Breaching Defences is an advanced course designed for OSCP-level penetration testers who want to develop their skills against hardened systems.
