00:00:06,670 --> 00:00:09,960
- [Instructor] This video
course and the (mumbles) exam

2
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,727
require you to have a
high level understanding

3
00:00:12,727 --> 00:00:16,550
of the Bash scripting language

4
00:00:16,550 --> 00:00:21,550
and the Bash shell, Python,
Ruby and PowerShell.

5
00:00:21,730 --> 00:00:23,240
You should definitely become familiar

6
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:24,264
with the basics of these scripting

7
00:00:24,264 --> 00:00:25,940
and programming languages,

8
00:00:25,940 --> 00:00:29,950
underlying related concepts
like program logic,

9
00:00:29,950 --> 00:00:33,270
looping, flow control, things like

10
00:00:33,270 --> 00:00:37,490
input and output procedures,
substitutions and variables,

11
00:00:37,490 --> 00:00:40,230
string operations and comparisons,

12
00:00:40,230 --> 00:00:42,600
error handling in those programs,

13
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,400
arrays, encoding and
decoding and many others.

14
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,190
If you're new to these
programming languages,

15
00:00:48,190 --> 00:00:51,283
the good news is that I
have tons of free references

16
00:00:51,283 --> 00:00:54,830
and tutorials in my GitHub repository

17
00:00:54,830 --> 00:00:56,690
that will help you get started.

18
00:00:56,690 --> 00:00:58,860
In the test, you may actually find

19
00:00:58,860 --> 00:01:02,460
some performance-based
questions or simulations

20
00:01:02,460 --> 00:01:04,250
where you actually have to recognize

21
00:01:04,250 --> 00:01:07,390
the programming languages
used in a specific exploit

22
00:01:07,390 --> 00:01:12,390
or a basic Bash command
to parse through some logs

23
00:01:12,670 --> 00:01:16,108
or any other data manipulation techniques

24
00:01:16,108 --> 00:01:17,440
that you can actually use,

25
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,110
not only from the offensive security side,

26
00:01:19,110 --> 00:01:21,090
but also from them defensive side.

27
00:01:21,090 --> 00:01:23,195
So use those resources that I'm actually

28
00:01:23,195 --> 00:01:25,740
putting in my GitHub
repository to learn more

29
00:01:25,740 --> 00:01:27,100
about these concepts.

30
00:01:27,100 --> 00:01:29,320
Of course learning these
programming languages

31
00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:32,160
is beyond the scope of this course,

32
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,890
but one thing that you can actually do

33
00:01:33,890 --> 00:01:37,310
to become familiar on
how different exploits

34
00:01:37,310 --> 00:01:39,500
are created in those languages,

35
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:42,230
like Python, Ruby, Bash, et cetera,

36
00:01:42,230 --> 00:01:44,959
is actually to navigate to the exploits

37
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,020
that are within Kali or WebSploit,

38
00:01:48,020 --> 00:01:49,410
which is the VM that I created

39
00:01:49,410 --> 00:01:51,490
for you to practice your skills.

40
00:01:51,490 --> 00:01:54,330
And there you can actually
see hundreds of examples

41
00:01:54,330 --> 00:01:57,690
of exploits that can help you get familiar

42
00:01:57,690 --> 00:02:01,520
with the Python, Ruby and Bash concepts

43
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,950
that you need to learn for the exam.

44
00:02:03,950 --> 00:02:06,090
And again, use the
resources that I'm actually

45
00:02:06,090 --> 00:02:08,060
putting in the GitHub repository

46
00:02:08,060 --> 00:02:10,123
to learn more about these concepts.
