Overview

In this introductory course, we will prepare you for the Kali KLCP certification exam; the first official certification based on Kali Linux. We will focus on the Kali Linux platform itself (as opposed to the tools, or penetration testing techniques), and help you understand and maximize the usage of Kali from the ground up. Whether you're a veteran or a newcomer, the KLCP is a testament of your thorough and deep understanding of the Kali Linux operating system, as well as your ability to use it masterfully.

The instructors will teach you how to:

  • Gain confidence in basic Linux proficiency, fundamentals and command line.
  • Install and verify Kali Linux as a primary OS, virtual machine, including full disk encryption.
  • Use Kali as a portable USB distribution including options for encryption, persistence and "self-destruction."
  • Install, remove, customize and troubleshoot software through the Debian package manager.
  • Thoroughly administer, customize and configure Kali Linux for a streamlined experience.
  • Troubleshoot Kali, diagnose common problems in an optimal way.
  • Secure and monitor Kali at the network and filesystem levels.
  • Create your own packages and host your own custom repositories.
  • Roll your own customized Kali implementation, as well as preseed your installations.
  • Build, customize and optimize your own kernel.
  • Scale and deploy Kali Linux in the enterprise.
  • Manage and orchestrate multiple installations of Kali.


Please Note: This is not a penetration testing course. This course is focused on teaching the student how to get the most out of the Kali Linux Penetration Testing Platform, not how to use the packaged tools in an offensive manner.
