CIS4200: Penetration Testing with Kali

Students in my Penetration Testing course, CIS4200, are constantly tasked with reverse engineering, replicating, or defending against modern security vulnerabilities. At the beginning of each module they are assigned a lab-based walkthrough that introduces new concepts, reinforces old concepts, and eliminates homework boredom. Then they are slowly guided deeper into each tool and skillset before finally being asked to demo what they have learned and capture a hidden flag. This type of incremental reinforced learning is widely prevalent in our sector, and the Capture the Flag (CTF) scenarios my students face are on par with those the top training agencies utilize and are all based on real world vulnerabilities and attacks.

This course is currently offered both as a for-credit college course and as a private instructor-led teaching.
