Red Team Operations and Advanced Ethical Hacking

Build skills for a career in offensive cybersecurity

Offensive security skills are among the most sought-after and hardest to develop in cybersecurity - often because the training stops short of the depth and hands-on practice that professional engagements actually demand.

This three-week course bridges that gap - helping you master the techniques for identifying, exploiting, and reporting security vulnerabilities across enterprise environments.

Develop advanced ethical hacking skills

Move beyond vulnerability identification and learn how vulnerabilities can be exploited as part of a structured penetration testing engagement.

You’ll explore techniques for gaining initial access and examine credential harvesting and password attack methodologies to understand how attackers can move through systems and networks.

By developing an attacker’s perspective, you’ll strengthen your ability to identify weaknesses and understand how individual vulnerabilities can contribute to a wider attack chain.

Test Active Directory and web application security

Explore two of the most important areas of modern offensive security: enterprise networks and web applications.

You’ll learn how to conduct Active Directory enumeration, examine Kerberos-based attack techniques, and understand credential-based lateral movement across simulated enterprise environments.

Throughout the course, you’ll apply ethical hacking techniques in controlled environments designed to develop practical penetration testing skills.

Learn professional red team methodologies

Discover how professional red team and penetration testing engagements are planned, executed, and communicated.

You’ll explore command-and-control concepts using Sliver C2 in controlled environments, alongside post-exploitation workflows and adversary simulation.

This course is designed for cybersecurity professionals and advanced learners ready to operate at the offensive end of the security spectrum, executing real-world exploitation techniques, attacking enterprise Active Directory environments, conducting manual web application testing, and delivering professional-grade penetration testing engagements from scoping through to reporting.

It directly supports career pathways such as Penetration Tester, Red Team Analyst, Offensive Security Engineer, Bug Bounty Hunter, and Security Consultant across sectors including financial services, healthcare, government, defence, and technology, where the ability to simulate adversary behaviour and identify exploitable weaknesses before attackers do is a high-value, in-demand capability.

The course is also well-suited for SOC analysts, incident responders, and blue team professionals who want to develop offensive fluency to sharpen their detection and response capabilities, with prior knowledge in cybersecurity fundamentals, Linux, networking, ethical hacking, and vulnerability assessment recommended.

Learners should have strong knowledge of cybersecurity, networking, Linux, ethical hacking, and vulnerability assessment. A computer with a stable internet connection and enough resources to run multiple virtual machines is required. Advanced exploitation, Active Directory, web security, and red team tools are introduced during the course.

• Compare controlled exploitation, post-exploitation, privilege escalation, and credential attack techniques across Linux and Windows environments.
• Assess compromised systems, Active Directory environments, authentication mechanisms, and web applications to identify attack paths.
• Perform Kerberoasting, Pass-the-Hash, lateral movement, session attacks, and API exploitation within authorized lab environments.
• Design scoped red team and penetration testing engagements with appropriate rules of engagement and operational boundaries.
• Create professional penetration testing reports covering executive risk, technical findings, remediation priorities, and CVSS-based severity.
