Ethical Hacking and Penetration Testing mind maps

These user-made maps lay out topics as connected ideas. Penetration testing covers rules of engagement, planning, testing and reporting. Reconnaissance branches into active and passive footprinting, while Scanning and Enumeration covers live systems, open ports and vulnerability scanning.

Choose a route through the maps

Start with Penetration testing if you want to see how several parts of a test fit together. Then use Testing Scope or a map on a particular stage to focus your revision. For assessment frameworks, OSSTMM and ISSAF offer overviews, while ISSAF assessment layers looks at information gathering and network mapping.

As you read, follow one branch at a time and try to recall its points before checking the map again. When you want practice questions, switch to a quiz on the unit page; use the notes there when you want to read a topic in more detail. Choose a branch and follow it through.
