About the CompTIA PenTest+ Study Guide

Penetration testers simulate cyber attacks to find security weaknesses in networks, operating systems, and applications. Information security experts worldwide use penetration techniques to evaluate enterprise defenses. Typical penetration testing consists of low-level hackers attacking a system with a list of known vulnerabilities, and defenders preventing those hacks using an equally well-known list of defensive scans. In CompTIA PenTest+ Study Guide: Exam PT0-001, you're introduced to the core skills and techniques that every pen tester needs:



Perform assessments of traditional server and desktop operating systems as well as new types of network devices, including mobile, cloud, IoT, industrial, and embedded
