Lesson 32: Advanced Penetration Testing

Advanced penetration testing goes beyond simple scans. It includes exploiting vulnerabilities, bypassing security controls, and testing human and physical weaknesses. The goal is to simulate real-world attacks safely.

Example:
A pen tester uses a combination of phishing, network exploitation, and social engineering to identify weak points in an organization.

Tools like Metasploit, Burp Suite, and Nmap are commonly used by advanced testers.
