Offensive Security Fundamentals

Offensive Security Fundamentals
This is a safe, guided intro to ethical hacking. We start with rules of engagement and legal boundaries. Then we move through recon, scanning, and basic exploitation in a controlled lab. You’ll explore the most common web issues (OWASP Top 10), weak passwords, and misconfigurations that show up everywhere.
We stress documentation and clear communication. For each lab, you’ll capture steps, proof, and impact, then practice writing a short pen-test style report. You’ll also learn how to suggest fixes that engineers actually accept.
This course is not about “hacker tricks.” It’s about understanding attacker thinking so you can defend better—or prepare for deeper offensive tracks later.
What You’ll Learn?
- Recon, scanning, and basic exploitation
