This is a self-paced course that continues the development of ethical hacking skills. The curriculum provides an introduction to post-exploitation penetration testing topics. Among the topics covered are Owning, Pivoting, Privilege Escalation and other advanced penetration testing topics, The purpose of the Post-Exploitation phase is to determine the value of the machine compromised and to maintain control of the device for later use. The machine’s value is determined by the sensitivity of the data stored on it and the machine’s usefulness in further compromising the network. The methods the students learn in this phase are meant to help them identify and document sensitive information, identify configuration settings, communication channels, and relationships with other network devices that can be used to gain further access to the network. The students also learn how to set up one or more methods of accessing the machine later.
An excellent online course offered by edX: how it works
edX courses consist of weekly learning sequences. Each learning sequence is composed of short videos interspersed with interactive learning exercises, where students can immediately practise the concepts from the videos. The courses often include tutorial videos that are similar to small on-campus discussion groups, an online textbook, and an online discussion forum where students can post and review questions and comments to each other and teaching assistants. Where applicable, online laboratories are incorporated into the course.
edX offers certificates of successful completion and some courses are credit-eligible. Whether or not a college or university offers credit for an online course is within the sole discretion of the school. edX offers a variety of ways to take courses, including verified courses where students have the option to audit the course (no cost) or to work toward an edX Verified Certificate (fees vary by course). edX also offers XSeries Certificates for completion of a bundled set of two to seven verified courses in a single subject (cost varies depending on the courses).
