⚔️ Offensive Security Roadmap

From networking basics to advanced exploitation — your path to becoming a penetration tester.

Progress: 0%
Phase 1 — Foundation

Master the OSI 7-layer model, TCP/IP stack, common protocols (HTTP, FTP, SSH, DNS). Learn packet analysis with Wireshark.

📖 Article 🛠️ Wireshark 🎓 CompTIA Net+

Get comfortable with Linux CLI, file permissions, process management, and write Bash scripts for automation.

📖 Article 🐧 Kali Linux

Write Python scripts for network scanning, web requests, exploit automation, and custom tools.

📖 Tutorial 🐍 Python 3
Phase 2 — Recon & Scanning

Passive & active information gathering. Use OSINT tools, Google dorks, Shodan to discover targets without direct contact.

📖 Article 🔍 Shodan 🕵️ OSINT

Master Nmap flags, scan types (SYN, UDP, comprehensive), NSE scripting engine for vulnerability detection.

📋 Cheat Sheet 🔧 Nmap
Phase 3 — Exploitation

OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, manual testing with Burp Suite, automated scanning, real-world exploitation techniques.

📖 OWASP Guide 🔧 Burp Suite

Navigate MSFconsole, use exploit modules, generate payloads with msfvenom, conduct post-exploitation with Meterpreter.

📋 Cheat Sheet 🔧 Metasploit

Enumerate misconfigurations, SUID bits, cron jobs, registry keys to escalate from low-privilege to root/SYSTEM.

📋 Checklist 📖 GTFOBins
Phase 4 — Expert

Attack enterprise environments: Kerberoasting, AS-REP Roasting, DCSync, Golden Ticket attacks using BloodHound & Impacket.

Write professional penetration testing reports, understand CVSS scoring, prepare for OSCP/CEH certifications.
