Pen Testing Courses - hairypets - Feb 4, 2020

Hello!

I'm currently undertaking a Bsc degree in Cyber Security however it's not testing my full potential.
I'm looking to take the OSCP later so I'm looking for training / courses to extend my knowlege and practice in Pen Testing.

Do you guys have any recomendations for any courses that can help further my skills alongside my degree? Some of the Udemy (warez disallowed) courses seem alright but again any advice would help a lot.

Cheers

Just start with HackTheBox.eu

It’s amazing for real life pentesting. Some boxes can be a little CTF-like.

I've been slowly going through HTB too :) It's great!

Honestly, if you're just starting this isn't ideal.

TheCyberMentor is amazing. But just getting started is so vague.
If your new new. You may want to look into certifications like CompTIA Sec+.

You’ll have to find really get to know someone’s knowledge to suggest where to start.

I admit my answer was a little biased though.

As someone that is interested in going to school for the same thing, is it really not that challenging? I hope that I can learn quite a bit when I go to school.
