EC-Council Certified Penetration Tester (CPENT)

Course Overview

EC-Council’s Certified Penetration Tester (CPENT) program teaches you how to perform an effective penetration test in an enterprise network environment that must be attacked, exploited, evaded, and defended. If you have only been working in flat networks, CPENT’s live practice range will teach you to take your skills to the next level by teaching you how to pen test IoT systems, OT systems, how to write your own exploits, build your own tools, conduct advanced binaries exploitation, double pivot to access hidden networks, and also customize scripts/exploits to get into the innermost segments of the network.

Course Objectives

During this 5-Day class, you will learn about these topics: Attack IoT SystemsWriting Advanced Binary ExploitsEvade Defense Mechanisms & Weaponize ExploitsPentest Operational Technology (OT)Accessing through Pivoting & Double PivotingAdvanced Windows AttackWeaponize Your ExploitsPrivilege EscalationAttack Automation with ScriptsWrite Professional ReportsBypassing a Filtered NetworkEvading Defense MechanismsAccess Hidden Networks With Pivoting
