SC400: Hacking & Pentesting Basics
Training: Security
Participants learn how hackers think and conduct attacks. In the hacking lab, they practically apply common techniques, receive tools, and practice their use. The course teaches how to plan, execute, and evaluate penetration tests in a professional manner to systematically uncover vulnerabilities and effectively improve the security of their own systems.

Target audience:
Hacking & Penetration Testing - Basics targets IT professionals and specialists who want to learn and understand approaches, methods and techniques of hackers in order to verify the security of their own systems and to better assess the effectiveness of their own countermeasures. For IT forensics specialists it provides the perspective through the lens of the perpetrator and thus the knowledge to conduct investigations more precisely and efficiently.Prerequisites:
Our workshop SC400 Hacking & Pentesting Basics is a basic course. Knowledge of IP networks, the WWW and common operating systems is required; in-depth Linux or Windows knowledge is not mandatory. Curiosity and passion for hacking are crucial.
Description:
Learn how hackers think and operate from experienced white hats. The course SC400 Hacking & Pentesting Basics combines theoretical inputs with intensive hands-on labs: from OSINT research through phishing campaigns to WLAN and USB attack scenarios. Participants build their own Raspberry-based prototype tools in the course and test them in secure labs, learn how to use Pwnagotchi/Björn images, and evaluate implications for protective measures.
Additionally, modern trends are covered: How do LLMs support recon and social engineering processes? How can AI-powered web research tools accelerate information gathering? What role do automated pentest solutions play in daily security operations?
Assessment / Certificate
The course concludes with a practical final test that combines theoretical and laboratory technical questions. Upon successful completion, participants receive a certificate of participation.
