Think Like an Attacker: Inside the Ethical Hacking Specialist Path

A practitioner's walkthrough of offensive security skills, tooling and career routes

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.

What we’ll cover

  • How an attacker approaches a target — reconnaissance through to exploitation
  • The offensive security toolchain practitioners actually use day to day
  • Where AI is changing attack simulation, and where it still falls short
  • Building a portfolio and lab record that stands up in interviews
  • Inside the GEHS certification: 300+ lab scenarios and the practical exam
  • Live Q&A with the speaker

Who should attend

  • SOC analysts and defenders who want offensive skills
