Learning objectives

  • Master advanced reconnaissance techniques in professional penetration testing
  • Develop expertise in exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities for enterprise environments
  • Implement post-exploitation and persistence techniques in certified environments
  • Create impactful audit reports using professional penetration testing tools
  • Optimize complex attack chains for certified red team simulations
  • Deploy pentest automations in CI/CD pipelines for enterprise security teams

The Learni story

Founded by passionate learning and innovation experts, Learni's mission is to make professional training accessible to everyone, anywhere in the world. Our team operates in major hubs — London, New York, Boston — and internationally, to support talents and organizations in upskilling.

Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without this upskilling, your team accumulates a technological gap that translates directly into productivity loss.

  • Organizations that don't train their talents on key topics see their competitiveness drop.

  • Every quarter without training is a gap widening with competitors who invest.

  • The cost of inaction quickly exceeds that of well-targeted training.

Program

Module 1Reconnaissance: Advanced Target Mapping in Penetration Testing (Nmap, Masscan, Shodan)

Dive into stealth and passive scans to identify hidden assets, hands-on with tools like Nmap using custom NSE scripts, Masscan for massive sweeps, integration of Shodan for industrial OSINT, exercises on vulnerable labs simulating real companies, creation of preliminary reports immediately actionable in professional missions, enhancing skills in the critical initial phase.

Module 3Network Exploitation: Protocols and Services in Penetration Testing (Metasploit, EternalBlue)

Deep penetration of SMB, RDP, LDAP protocols via expert Metasploit modules, chaining exploits like EternalBlue-WannaCry recreations, bypassing firewalls/IDS with evasion techniques, using Cobalt Strike for stealthy C2, simulations of lateral movement attacks on Active Directory, practical exercises on corporate VMs, generation of stable persistent shells, strengthening skills for critical infrastructure pentests.

Module 4Post-Exploitation: Privilege Escalation in Penetration Testing (Mimikatz, PowerShell Empire)

Root/admin privilege escalation techniques post-breach, credential extraction via advanced Mimikatz, internal pivoting with PowerShell Empire beacons, encrypted data exfiltration without detection, persistence via schtasks/registry backdoors, case studies of real breaches like SolarWinds, development of custom scripts for automations, production of documented post-exploit artifacts, essential for professional red team missions.

Module 5Reporting and Advanced Topics: Automation Tools in Penetration Testing (Dradis, Custom Scripts)

Audit synthesis with Dradis for impactful executive reports, integration of findings into MITRE ATT&CK frameworks, development of pentest automation pipelines via Docker/Ansible, review of the complete red thread project, expert CTF simulations, delivery of a certifying deliverables portfolio, focus on business-aligned remediation, preparing for OSCP+ certifications and elite careers in enterprise cybersecurity.

Evaluation method

  • Expert multiple-choice quiz to validate penetration testing skills
  • Continuous assessment through simulated attack exercises
  • Presentation and defense of the comprehensive red thread pentest project

Learning method

  • Training delivered by an active pentester involved in critical missions
  • Hands-on exercises in vulnerable labs simulating real enterprise environments
  • Comprehensive red thread penetration testing attack project
  • Detailed course materials with unlimited access to tools and resources

Methods, materials and delivery

The Training Penetration Testing - Exploiting Critical Vulnerabilities program is delivered onsite or remote (blended-learning, e-learning, virtual classroom, remote presence). At Learni, an industry-certified training organization, every program is built to maximize skills acquisition regardless of the chosen format.

The trainer alternates between demonstrative, interrogative and active methods (through hands-on labs and/or scenarios). This pedagogical approach guarantees concrete learning that's immediately applicable at work.

Equipment required

For the smooth delivery of the Training Penetration Testing - Exploiting Critical Vulnerabilities program, the following equipment is required:

  • Mac or PC computers, high-speed fiber internet, whiteboard or flipchart, projector or interactive touch screen (for remote sessions)
  • Training environments installed on workstations or accessible online
  • Course materials, hands-on exercises and complementary resources
  • Post-training access to materials and educational resources

For intra-company training on a site outside Learni, the client commits to providing all required teaching materials (computers, internet, etc.) for the smooth delivery of the program in line with the prerequisites in the communicated program.

* contact us for remote delivery feasibility** ratio varies depending on the program

Skills assessment methods

Assessment of skills acquired during the Training Penetration Testing - Exploiting Critical Vulnerabilities program is performed through:

  • During training: case studies, hands-on labs and professional scenarios
  • End of training: self-assessment questionnaire and skills evaluation by the trainer
  • After training: completion certificate detailing acquired skills

Program accessibility

Learni is committed to making its programs accessible. All our programs are accessible to people with disabilities. Our teams are available to adapt the pedagogical methods to your specific needs. Please contact us for any adjustment request.

Enrollment terms and lead times

Learni programs are available inter-company and intra-company, onsite or remote. Enrollments are possible up to 48 business hours before the program starts. Our programs are eligible for corporate funding paths. Contact us to discuss your training project and funding options.

Our method

Training quality, guaranteed at every step

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
