About
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.
The CPENT Challenge Edition is a low-cost study resource that will provide a refresher in areas such as IoT, ICS, SCADA, and binary analysis. The CPENT Challenge Edition includes a selection of labs from each of the CPENT course modules that will introduce you to the concepts that are required to obtain the required points across the different zones.
Access to the practice range is included so you can explore the concepts and perform the required research on your own to be sure you are ready for the CPENT practical exam. If you already consider yourself a pro-level pen tester, then CPENT Challenge Edition is for you!
The heart of the CPENT program is all about helping you master your pen testing skills by putting them to use on our live cyber ranges. The CPENT ranges were designed to be dynamic in order to give you a real-world training program, so just as targets and technology continue to change in live networks, both the CPENT practice and exam ranges will mimic this reality as our team of engineers continue to add targets and defenses throughout the CPENT course’s lifetime.
