Hundreds of findings. Critical vulns buried in noise. Too many terminal windows, lost context, and manual tracking slowing you down. On offensive work, time is everything, and disorganization wastes it fast. Join us for a free one-hour webcast with Chris Traynor, Security Consultant at Black Hills Infosec, as he introduces Cerno, a new free and open-source tool designed to bring order to pentest findings. Cerno is a Terminal User Interface tool that imports vulnerability data for structured review and validation. Navigate findings with keyboard shortcuts, launch tools with a single keystroke, track progress automatically, extract CVEs, look up related exploits, compare findings across hosts, and follow built-in or custom verification workflows. You'll learn how to use Cerno to organize, review, and validate pentest findings faster, reduce chaos during engagements, and stay efficient under real-world time pressure.
