The latest addition – available now – to the on-demand library of 36 courses is a Lab course titled “Security Analysis with SPARTA,” which is aimed at security practitioners and anyone looking to implement the penetration testing execution standard (PTES) and the tools and processes found within SPARTA and security assessment tools.
SPARTA’s design automates many common vulnerability assessment tasks and is regularly used for network infrastructure penetration and security testing. This tool is primarily focused on aiding security testers and researchers during the scanning and enumeration phase of an engagement. It saves the tester time by automating and providing point-and-click access to output generated by SPARTA. In this hands-on Lab course, participants review and apply internal security assessments and from the perspective of a penetration tester by using SPARTA on an unfamiliar network. They gain experience performing scans on a local network to find live machines and locate open network ports and services, then find weaknesses in some of these services and explore ways to mitigate them.
Lab content within this course takes place within a Linux virtual machine environment. Learners are introduced to each section of the Lab and will have the ability to work through the enti ..
