Enterprise Penetration Testing
This is the academy's flagship penetration testing course and the core of our preparation for the Offensive Security Certified Professional, or OSCP. You learn a repeatable, end-to-end methodology and prove it across network exploitation and Active Directory attack paths.
Every phase runs under a written scope and rules of engagement inside our isolated lab range. The course ends with a capstone engagement against a full enterprise environment, which you compromise, document and report as you would for a client.
