Infosec has gone insane over the past few years, there is so much happening it's almost impossible to keep up.  With the surging cases of cyberattacks and the immense repercussions of data breaches, staying updated and educated has become more crucial than ever. For those interested in this topic, Guided Hacking provides an array of [cyber security tutorials](https://guidedhacking.com/forums/information-security-tutorials.470/). These tutorials cater to both beginners and seasoned professionals, offering detailed insights and methodologies for safeguarding digital assets.

#### Penetration Testing

As defensive strategies advance, so do the methods of those with malicious intentions. To keep systems safe, one must think like an attacker. Penetration testing, also known as ethical hacking, is the act of simulating cyberattacks on systems, networks, and applications. By identifying vulnerabilities before they're exploited by adversaries, companies can act proactively against potential threats. The [pentesting](https://guidedhacking.com/forums/penetration-testing-tutorials.526/) section sheds light on techniques and tools, allowing tech enthusiasts to learn, practice, and hone their ethical hacking skills.
