Scripting to find named hosts | Golang tutorial [FREE COURSE CONTENT]

Scripting is a crucial skill to make your ethical hacking more streamlined and efficient. In this video from our Pentesting with Golang online course you will see how you can write a very useful script. It will allow you to scan a network for named hosts after you gain initial access - excellent for recon, lateral movement, persistence, and privilege escalation! Watch the video and up your scripting skills with some Golang: 

Learn more scripting with Golang: book you seat! 

In this course, we’ll take you on a journey to using Golang for security purposes such as OSINT technicals, scanning, reconnaissance, interacting with APIs and many more techniques that are essential for penetration testers and hackers. Everything is different because it is Golang! Golang is used in a wide range of security projects.
