Even Super Heroes Need Training Wheels – Learning Red Team / Pentest Skills

I am in hiring mode again at the moment for my Red Team, and this time have had more junior InfoSec applicants, and people who have little to no experience expressing an interest.

Sadly, we don’t have the time to fully invest in complete new comers to Adversarial Threat Emulation activities, especially with the potential implications of “learning” on live production systems. So I thought I would put this page together with learning resources, both free and paid that people who are learning / what to get in the industry can utilise. Both to find out if its something they would actually enjoying doing day in and out, and to get some foundational useable skills under their belt to be able to make it through hiring programs and being a strong contributor to the team they join.

If you have suggested resources, please add a comment with information and I can add to the list over time.

Thanks and happy learning.
