What you'll learn

Public exploits can significantly accelerate access to vulnerable systems and support privilege escalation efforts, but finding reliable code and adapting it to a target environment requires careful analysis and validation. In this course, Navigating Known Exploits for Offensive Security Professionals, you’ll learn how to effectively identify, evaluate, and leverage public exploits during offensive security engagements. First, you’ll explore the most valuable sources for discovering public exploits and vulnerability research. Next, you’ll discover how to obtain, review, troubleshoot, and modify exploit code to improve reliability and compatibility. Finally, you’ll learn how to transfer and execute exploits on target systems using a variety of practical techniques. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of leveraging public exploits needed to identify opportunities, adapt exploit code, and support success on the OSCP exam.
