An overview of self-study methods available for learning the basics of information security and pentesting. Penetration testing will be presented in a safe environment that is isolated from your work or personal network. The lab will be constructed in a manner that can be entirely contained within a laptop (assuming sufficient processing power and hard drive space). Now, you’ve got no excuse but to hack the night away!
