Introduction
Penetration with Kali (PWK) was always a penetration testing course I wanted to complete but because of my workload and my general lack of knowledge, I did not feel ready to begin.
Fast forward a couple of months, I have a fair bit of spare time so I obtained the eLearning Junior Penetration Testing certification (
review) to prepare myself for the PWK course. As soon as I passed my exam, I registered for the PWK course and received my start date which was April 23rd 2017.
Background
I completed my degree in Computer Science at the University of Sydney in December 2016 so I am fairly comfortable with programming.
The only preparation I have done is the eLearning PTS course and also read about half of the book
Violent Python.
Diary
This diary will contain continuous progress updates as I work through the course and will also be used to post the resources that I found valuable as I progress.
April 23rd 2017
- Received PDF and video package at 11:00am.
- The first week will be slow since the PDF is huge and there are so many videos to get through.
I will be updating this post (
and on my website) over the coming few months.
I am aiming to complete by June.
