About this course

This course takes you on a practical journey to understand the human layer in cybersecurity and how it is exploited in modern attacks, focusing on social engineering and human-based penetration testing. You will learn how to gather information from open sources, analyze the digital footprint of targets, simulate phishing attacks in a safe lab environment, and understand the mechanisms of defense, detection, and response to these threats in a professional manner.

Expected outcomes

  • Ability to build a comprehensive intelligence profile on any target using OSINT.
  • Conduct phishing simulation campaigns in a legal and disciplined manner.
  • Analyze and exploit XSS vulnerabilities within a testing environment.
  • Understand multi-stage attack chains (OSINT → Phishing → Exploitation).
  • Shift from offensive thinking to defensive thinking and enhance protection mechanisms.
  • Prepare to work within Red Team, Blue Team, or Purple Team environments.
