Get ready to pass the CompTIA Security+ SY0-601 with our in-depth, comprehensive, and high-quality course (including 4k videos and full transcripts).

Whether you are new to IT or you already have experience, my course is designed to help you learn all of the topics you need.

The CompTIA Security+ certification is one of the most well-known cybersecurity certifications. It can not only provide you with more job opportunities, but it also provides you with a learning path of important cybersecurity topics you need to understand in order to have a successful career in this space. In fact, certain jobs require that you have at least one IT certification, and the Security+ can often qualify as one of those certifications.

By the way, I'm Christophe Limpalair, the founder of Cybr, and the author of this all-in-one Security+ course. I have over 7 years of training experience, and I’ve been in IT for about 20 years. I’ve taught tens of thousands of students in cybersecurity, cloud computing, and web development, and I look forward to helping you get certified.

I've personally taken and passed this exam, so I know exactly what you need to learn and how, and I've sprinkled in tips and tricks throughout the course that will help you get ready for the real exam.

I specifically designed this course syllabus to match the official CompTIA Exam Objectives so that you can keep track of what you’ve learned and what you still need to learn. Scroll down for a breakdown of what this course covers.

On top of the training you receive, you get access to Cybr’s free Discord community where you can meet others who are actively studying for the Security+ or who have passed it and can provide you with tips and tricks.

With an increasing demand for cybersecurity jobs, getting started with this course is a no-brainer. Let’s get started, and let’s take your career to the next level!

I’ll see you in the course!

NOTE: We do not currently plan on refreshing this course for the 701. There is a significant amount of overlap in the course material (over 93% by our estimation), so this course will still largely prepare you for the 701, but it was not technically designed for that certification version. The main differences are that just a few topics were added in the 701, and some topics were removed (but would still be useful to learn about). Otherwise, they literally just shuffled the domains around to make it look like a totally different cert. 

Practice for the real CompTIA Security+ SY0-601 certification exam with our realistic practice exams. Our exams closely resemble the real exam to provide you with the type of questions and answers that you can expect to see on the exam itself. In fact, we include both types of CompTIA questions: Performance-based questions and Multiple-choice questions.

Performance-based Questions (PBQs): Access multiple PBQs which are designed to test a candidate's ability to solve problems in real-world settings. These are run as simulations for the Security+, so we provide you with interactive testing that closely resembles what you could expect to see on the exam. For example, we provide PBQs that are drag & drop and fill in the blank.

Multiple-choice Questions: Access multiple-choice questions that cover a wide range of topics covered by the real exam. These questions and answers have been carefully crafted by Cybr to verify your knowledge of Domains 1 through 5, which include: Attacks, Threats, and Vulnerabilities; Architecture and Design; Implementation; Operations and Incident Response; Governance, Risk, and Compliance.

Every single question in our practice exam was created by individuals who are CompTIA Security+ SY0-601 certified, which means that they have experienced the exam first-hand and passed it. We know what you're going to go through, so we want you to be as prepared as possible. We even include detailed explanations of the correct and incorrect answers. That way, you continue to learn as you take our practice exams, and you can identify focus points. The exam itself will never contain more than 90 questions but could have fewer, which is why our practice exams include a minimum of 80 questions up to 90 questions, as a combination of PBQs and Multiple Choice.

NOTE: We do not currently plan on refreshing these practice exams for the 701. There is a significant amount of overlap in the material between the two certification version (over 80% by our estimation), so this course will still largely prepare you for the 701, but it was not technically designed for that certification version.

Description: In this course, you will develop the skills you need to successfully perform and combat Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. XSS is one of the top 10 most dangerous and common web application attacks according to both OWASP and CWE. I've spent months creating and collecting the best resources on XSS to put them in this course so that you can learn Cross-Site Scripting in a fun, efficient, and practical manner.

In order to truly understand how XSS works and how to defend against it, you have to learn hands-on by executing attacks against vulnerable applications and then looking at secure versions of the same code, and that's exactly what you'll do in this course. We start out by explaining the concepts of XSS and its 3 main types: Reflected, Stored (Persistent), and DOM-based. Then, we take a look at case studies of recent real-world XSS vulnerabilities in Facebook, Gmail, Twitter, Tesla, Airbnb, and TikTok. After that, we spin up a lab environment to perform all 3 types of attacks with both manual and automated approaches. We then set up, configure, and use a powerful browser exploitation framework called BeEF to deliver a payload that hooks unsuspecting browsers. From there, you can launch a number of different attacks using BeEF command modules (ie: scanning internal networks, defacing websites, compromising routers, and more). Next, we apply everything we've learned to pentest the OWASP Juice Shop starting with information gathering, and then exploiting all 3 types of XSS. Finally, we wrap up the course by discussing the most (and least) effective defensive controls, including rules, cheat sheets, and recommended code review techniques to properly defend your applications from this dangerous threat.

If you're looking for a hands-on way to learn Cross-Site Scripting, this is your course!
