Network & Active Directory Security Testing with Kali Linux

This course equips cybersecurity professionals with advanced network and Active Directory security testing techniques using Kali Linux. It emphasizes practical skills for identifying vulnerabilities, exploiting network weaknesses, and securing critical infrastructure. Learners will gain hands-on experience performing network penetration tests, post-exploitation procedures, and command-and-control tactics. The course provides strategies to strengthen Active Directory security and evaluate wireless network vulnerabilities effectively. Unlike typical theory-heavy courses, this program integrates real-world exercises, combining detailed walkthroughs with actionable testing scenarios for immediate application in professional environments. This training is ideal for IT security professionals, penetration testers, and system administrators with foundational knowledge in networking and cybersecurity principles. Prior experience with basic Linux commands and network concepts is recommended. This course is part two of a three-course Specialization designed to provide a comprehensive learning pathway in this subject area. While it delivers standalone value and practical skills, learners seeking a more integrated and in-depth progression may benefit from completing the full Specialization.
