Who should take this course?

This course is for seasoned red teamers, penetration testers, security and vulnerability assessment analysts, and system administrators who want to know how to exploit and protect against the latest vulnerabilities impacting enterprise systems.

Why take this course?

On October 4th, 2021, the Apache Software Foundation disclosed CVE-2021-41773, a path traversal vulnerability. Within 24 hours, POCs were available via writes ups and GitHub code. Just 2 days later, on October 6th, active exploitation of this vulnerability reached record highs. Although a patch was released on October 7th to help combat these exploitations, it was on that same day that patch bypasses and POCs were published online--resulting in the CVE we are focusing on in this course: CVE-2021-42013.
