Python for penetration testing training

Description

In this intensive 3-day training program, participants will delve into the world of penetration testing using Python. Penetration testing is a crucial cybersecurity practice that simulates real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities in systems and networks. Through hands-on labs, practical exercises, and interactive discussions, participants will gain practical skills in using Python to conduct effective penetration tests, identify security weaknesses, and recommend appropriate mitigation strategies.

This training is designed to provide hands-on experience, so active participation is encouraged to maximize learning and skill development.
