Thursday, 30 July 2026 at 3:00 pm1 hourIST (GMT+5:30)
Most people entering offensive security learn tools before they learn how attackers actually think — and it shows in interviews. This session walks through a real engagement from reconnaissance to reporting, the toolchain practitioners genuinely use day to day, and what a portfolio needs to look like to get you hired. It closes with an overview of the Global Ethical Hacking Specialist (GEHS) certification and how its labs and practical exam map to the work itself.
