PEN-103: The Release of Kali Linux
The PEN-103 course provides a detailed introduction to the Kali Linux system, the industry standard penetration testing toolkit. In a lab setting, students will gain hands-on experience performing actual penetration testing scenarios. This course covers everything from fundamental Linux usage and Debian package management to advanced Kali configuration, security, and enterprise use.
Students who complete the online training course and pass the accompanying test receive the Kali Linux Certified Professional (KLCP) credential. This certification validates an individual’s skill with the Kali Linux operating system, including advanced configuration, security, and tool usage. KLCP holders demonstrate knowledge that is useful to a wide range of security professions, particularly those involving network security, system administration, and penetration testing planning.
