About this course
CompTIA PenTest+ covers the complete penetration testing engagement lifecycle — from scoping and rules of engagement, through information gathering and vulnerability discovery, to attacks, exploits, post-exploitation, and professional reporting. The PT0-003 objectives include modern attack surfaces: cloud, web applications, APIs, and AI-adjacent systems.
Labs are run in isolated environments and the course places strong emphasis on legal boundaries, authorisation, and ethical practice — the same standards applied in Kloudatech red-team engagements.
What you'll learn
- Plan and scope engagements with correct authorisation and rules of engagement
- Perform reconnaissance, enumeration, and vulnerability discovery
- Execute network, wireless, application, and cloud attacks in lab conditions
- Conduct post-exploitation and lateral movement techniques
- Write findings reports with remediation guidance for technical and executive readers
