What you'll learn

Gain practical, hands-on skills to help you in your journey to become a highly-effective penetration tester. In this course, Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) with Amass, you will learn how to use the open-source network intelligence tool, Amass, to run reconnaissance activities during network penetration tests or security audits. In this entry-level course you will first explore the reconnaissance phase of network intrusion when malicious actors use different methods to learn about their victims’ networks. Next, you will discover the OWASP Amass network intelligence tool. You will become familiar with its different subcommands, configure Amass data sources and API integrations for maximum coverage, and explore different configuration options and switches. Finally, you will use this knowledge to gather information about a target domain. You will enumerate its subdomains with active and passive techniques, build a list of publicly accessible IP addresses, and gather other intelligence. You will then use the information to build a visual representation of the attack surface. After completing this course, you will have the basic knowledge and skills to participate in network penetration testing. The skills you will learn here will help you become a skilled red team member, ultimately helping you in safeguarding your organization’s or your clients’ networks.
