Master the complete penetration testing lifecycle, covering all five stages from reconnaissance and scanning to vulnerability analysis using OWASP standards, and advanced exploitation techniques with tools like Metasploit. This skill provides a structured framework for conducting authorized, professional security assessments.

A comprehensive framework for assessing network security posture. This skill guides the tester through the entire penetration testing lifecycle, from reconnaissance and host discovery (using tools like Nmap) to service enumeration, vulnerability identification (CVEs), and controlled exploitation (Metasploit). It is essential for validating firewall rules, ensuring compliance (e.g., PCI-DSS), and stress-testing critical infrastructure security.

This guide details the detection and exploitation of the critical MS17-010 (EternalBlue) vulnerability in SMBv1. It covers the full red-teaming lifecycle, including vulnerability scanning using Nmap and executing payloads via Metasploit. It is designed for authorized penetration testing and simulated adversary engagements against legacy Windows environments.

A comprehensive guide for authorized penetration testing, demonstrating how to identify and exploit critical vulnerabilities in the SMB protocol (e.g., EternalBlue, PrintNightmare). This skill covers network enumeration, lateral movement techniques (Pass-the-Hash, SMB Relay), and post-exploitation activities using Metasploit and Impacket tools to assess enterprise network security posture.

A comprehensive guide to using the Metasploit Framework for advanced penetration testing and vulnerability validation. This skill details how to confirm exploitability of identified CVEs, gather post-exploitation evidence, and validate patch remediation effectiveness. It is essential for risk-based vulnerability management and red team exercises, providing proof of real-world impact beyond simple scanner scores.
