Course Description
Updated for 2023, our Hacking Enterprises training is the natural counterpart to our popular Defending Enterprises course.
In this multi-layered offensive engagement, you will fully compromise a simulated enterprise in this immersive hands-on course that covers a multitude of TTP’s. Targeting modern operating systems including Windows 11, you’ll use modern techniques and focus on exploiting configuration weaknesses rather than throwing traditional exploits. Logical thinking and creativity will definitely be put to the test!
You will work to get initial access in a fictional organisation where multiple networks exist, some easily accessible, others not so. You’ll implant and establish C2, but manual techniques will always be emphasised so you’re equipped with the knowledge to work without reliance on frameworks.
Course content has been designed to reflect real-world challenges and you’ll perform numerous hands-on exercises including executing exploitative phishing campaigns against our simulated users for initial access, finding new networks that in turn bringing new challenges including IPv6 exploitation, subverting AMSI and AWL, passphrase cracking, pivoting, lateral movement, AD CS abuse, userland and privileged persistence via OOB channels and much more!
We realise that training courses are limited for time and therefore students are also provided with the following:
- 14-day extended LAB access after the course finishes
- 14-day access to a CTF platform with subnets/hosts not seen during training!
- Discord support channel access where our security consultants are available
