freeCodeCamp.org has posted a full 14 hour network penetration testing/ethical hacking in this full tutorial course for beginners.

This course teaches everything you need to know to get started with ethical hacking and penetration testing. You will learn the practical skills necessary to work in the field.

Throughout the course, you will develop your own Active Directory lab in Windows, make it vulnerable, hack it, and patch it. We’ll cover the red and blue sides. We’ll also cover some of the boring stuff like report writing :).

This course was originally live streamed weekly on Twitch and built from lessons learned in the previous week.
