OffSec PEN-300 (OSEP)

Evasion Techniques and Breaching Defenses (PEN-300) is an advanced penetration testing course. Learners who complete the course and pass the exam will earn the OffSec Experienced Pentester (OSEP) certification. This course builds on the knowledge and techniques taught in Penetration Testing with Kali Linux, teaching learners to perform advanced penetration tests against mature organisations with an established security function and focuses on bypassing security mechanisms that are designed to block attacks. The OSEP is one of three certifications making up the OSCE³ certification along with the OSWE for advanced web attacks and OSED for exploit development.

Prerequisites

• Solid ability in enumerating targets to identify vulnerabilities

• The ability to identify and exploit vulnerabilities like SQL injection, file inclusion, and local privilege escalation

• A foundational understanding of Active Directory and knowledge of basic AD attacks

• Bypass defences
• Perform advanced attacks while avoiding detection
• Compromise systems configured with security in mind
• Those who complete the course and pass the 48-hour exam earn the Offensive Security Experienced Penetration Tester (OSEP) certification
• Preparation for more advanced field work
• Knowledge of breaching network perimeter defences through client-side attacks, evading antivirus and allow-listing technologies
• How to customise advanced attacks and chain them together
