A structured introduction to how offensive-security engagements progress from reconnaissance to reporting.
What you'll leave with
- A clearer offensive-security workflow
- Improved reconnaissance discipline
- Better understanding of attack-path development
01Overview
Learn to think through an adversary's path.
A practical program for learners who want to understand the logic, sequence and discipline behind offensive-security operations.
Learning objectives
- 01
Understand the lifecycle of an offensive-security engagement

Reconnaissance
Establish targets, context and information sources.
- 02
Attack Surface Discovery
Map reachable systems, services and application exposure.
- 03
Initial Access
Understand how weaknesses become viable entry points.
- 04
Exploitation
Validate technical weaknesses while respecting scope.
- 05
Privilege Escalation
