Offensive Security

“To catch a criminal, you have to think like one.” This is the mantra of any offensive security playbook, and central to the focus of this learning path. The Offensive Security Learning Path consists of courses and Playgrounds aimed at helping you learn red-team security techniques used by cutting-edge security teams today. We combine detailed video lessons with hands-on labs that take you step-by-step through the process of performing attacks and security recon in real-world environments. We explore everything from black-box testing, reconnaissance, and exploiting known vulnerabilities in web applications, to security analysis, attacks against mobile apps, and API testing. You’ll be approaching each lesson from an attacker’s perspective, giving you an intimate look at weaknesses and exploits in software. These courses are essential for pentesters and security engineers looking to gain a deeper understanding of offensive AppSec methods for a modern stack. Some of the topics we’ll be covering in these courses will even help prepare you for the Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) certification.
