Who should take this course?
This course is for seasoned red teamers, penetration testers, security and vulnerability assessment analysts, and system administrators who want to know how to exploit and protect against the latest vulnerabilities impacting enterprise systems.
Why take this course?
Redis, or Remote Dictionary Server, is an open-source, NoSQL in-memory data structure store that has gained considerable popularity among developers due to its fast performance. In January 2022, security researcher Reginaldo Silva discovered a vulnerability that allows for a Lua scripting engine sandbox escape on Debian and Debian-derived Linux distros running Redis. As a result of this package variable flaw, adversaries can access a system remotely, bypass security access policies or controls, and execute arbitrary commands on the host server. Due to the severity of the vulnerability, CVE-2022-0543 has earned the highest possible CVSS score of 10.0. Get hands-on experience exploiting this vulnerability in a secure virtual lab and develop the skills you need to protect your environment.
