Are you excited about hacking and want to be a pentester in the next few years? Let this talk be your guide in understanding what is required to effectively assess a network and all of its associated components. We’ll review subjects ranging from assessment toolsets, environment configurations, timelines, what to do when you’ve accidentally brought down the entire finance department, and how to gently handle the situation when you tell the CIO his baby is ugly.
These techniques and processes can are geared towards to your typical penetration testing processes. The talk has been structured so that not only veterans can benefit from the processes, but the newer/aspiring pentesters can establish a solid foundation for their own work! Hack on.
