Network attacks are commonly performed to gain unauthorized access to an organization's network, with a goal of performing malicious activity or stealing data. In this course, you'll learn how to research attack vectors and perform network attacks. You'll learn about password attacks such as password spraying, hash cracking, brute force, and dictionary. You'll explore how to perform common network attacks such as ARP poisoning, on-path, kerberoasting, virtual local area network hopping, as well as Link-Local Multicast Name Resolution and NetBIOS Name Service poisoning. Finally, you'll explore common network attack tools such as Metasploit, Netcat, and Nmap. This course is one of a collection that helps prepare learners for the CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) certification exam.
