Advanced Exploit Development

Elevate your cybersecurity skills with the Licensed Penetration Tester (LPT) course—designed for experienced professionals ready to take on advanced penetration testing challenges. This expert-level program focuses on exploit development, vulnerability assessment, and post-exploitation techniques in complex and high-security environments.

Module 1: Advanced Footprinting and Reconnaissance

• OSINT and target profiling
• Whois, DNS, and network enumeration
• Advanced passive and active scanning
• Web footprinting and social engineering vectors

Module 2: Scanning and Enumeration

• Network scanning with Nmap and advanced scripts
• Service and port enumeration
• Vulnerability scanning with Nessus/OpenVAS
• SNMP and SMB enumeration techniques

Module 3: Exploitation and Gaining Access

• Exploiting system vulnerabilities (Windows/Linux)
• Metasploit Framework and custom modules
• Buffer overflow and privilege escalation
• Exploiting web application flaws (SQLi, XSS, CSRF)

Module 4: Post-Exploitation and Maintaining Access

• Privilege escalation (local and remote)
• Backdoors and persistence techniques
• Credential harvesting and lateral movement
• Exploiting trust relationships

Module 5: Advanced Web Application Attacks

• Manual exploitation techniques
• Authentication bypass
• Session hijacking and token manipulation
• API abuse and advanced input validation flaws

Module 6: Wireless and IoT Exploitation

• Wireless cracking (WEP/WPA2/WPA3)
• Rogue AP deployment and evil twin attacks
• Bluetooth and IoT security weaknesses
• Exploiting smart devices and embedded systems

Module 7: Bypassing Security Mechanisms

• AV, IDS, and firewall evasion
• Custom shellcode obfuscation
• Encoding and encryption techniques
• Anti-forensics methods

Module 8: Red Teaming and Reporting

• Simulated APTs and adversary emulation
• Red teaming frameworks (Cobalt Strike, Empire)
• Evidence collection and documentation
• Detailed report writing with remediation suggestions

Note: This curriculum aligns with EC-Council’s LPT Master objectives. Practical labs and real-world scenarios are key to mastering penetration testing.
