Network Security
This program provides a comprehensive exploration of vulnerabilities in network infrastructure and domain environments, focusing on both Active Directory security and broader network threats. Key focus areas include advanced scanning techniques, enumeration processes, and exploitation tactics targeting network devices, protocols, and services. The program also delves into Active Directory setup, domain protocol analysis, and the detection of domain-specific threats such as Kerberos attacks and LDAP exploitation. Learners will develop a thorough understanding of prevalent attack methods and implement robust defensive measures to secure their networks and domains against emerging threats.
