SL7 University · for colleges
A six-month pentest program, embedded in your final-year semester.
Live sessions with senior SL7 testers on web, internal, and external network pentesting.
Interviews with SL7 run in parallel. Top students land an intern offer before graduation. Strong interns convert to a full pentester role. No fee to the college. No fee to the student.
Curriculum
Three tracks, six months, hands on the keyboard from week one.
- 01
Web application pentest
OWASP Top 10 in depth, auth and authz chains, SSRF, IDOR, deserialization, GraphQL, OpenAPI fuzzing, advisory writing. Recreate three historical CVEs from disclosure to PoC.
- 02
Internal network pentest
Active Directory chains, BloodHound, ADCS, Kerberos abuse, lateral movement, host triage. What an assumed-breach assessment actually looks like.
- 03
External network pentest
Recon, attack-surface mapping, exposed-service triage, perimeter chain construction, OSINT for engagement.
- 04
Tooling and reporting
Burp Suite Pro, Nmap, Nuclei, SL7 tooling, advisory writing, evidence capture, severity scoring. Reports a real client would accept.
- 05
Live labs
Weekly hands-on labs against a private SL7 range. Findings are logged, scored, and reviewed by a senior. The lab score feeds intern selection.
- 06
Final review and interview
Month six: technical round, mock client engagement, panel review. Intern offer for the top performers, portfolio for the rest.
Curriculum is deliberately narrow. Depth in the three highest-demand commercial pentest tracks beats a shallow tour of every domain.
What SL7 brings
Run by SL7, at SL7's cost. Students pay in time and effort.
The college pays nothing. The student pays nothing. SL7 funds the trainers, the labs, the tooling, and the program management. The expected return: the student shows up, finishes the labs, chases the certs, and finds real bugs.
- Senior trainers
Practising SL7 pentesters lead every session.
Live, mentor-led sessions: two evenings plus one Saturday per week, for six months. Not recordings.
- Private labs and tooling
SL7 ranges rebuilt per cohort. Burp Pro included.
Vulnerable web apps, an internal AD chain, an external attack surface. OSCP / CRTP study load runs inside the syllabus.
- Portfolio that travels
Lab reports, advisories, verified skills summary.
Whether the student joins SL7 or another firm, the training stays with them. The goal is more pentesters in the workforce, not just at SL7.
The offer letter spells every line above out as a number or a policy reference.
