A penetration testing methodology can be thought of as a recipe or blueprint, providing the steps required to conduct a penetration test. Methodologies are helpful and, in some cases, required to provide a repeatable process for quality results. Phillip Wylie introduces multiple pentesting methodologies with a focus on what organizations expect during and after an engagement.

What’s an Upskill Challenge (UC)?
A UC is a CTF-style, bite-sized lesson from the JHT Team, our courseware developers as well as “friends” of JHT. They are meant to be short and to the point. UCs focus on a single tool or concept and are helpful in quickly providing useful skills that might be prerequisites for other types of educational content on the platform.
A UC should be 10 – 30 minutes of student time and have no VMs. There are quizzes to make sure that the content is understood.
Prerequisites for UC – Penetration Testing Methodology
UCs assume no knowledge at all! They’re meant to be completely self-contained, so all of the answers are in the lesson. No outside research is required.
