CPENT (Certified Penetration Testing Professional) Training Course

Course Prerequisites

This EC-Council's CPENT course offers a prestigious certification for accomplished penetration testers called the Certified Penetration Testing Professional (CPENT). Pentesting Internet of Things (IoT) and operational technology (OT) systems, as well as building capabilities such as the ability to write your own exploit and construct your own tools, performing advanced binary exploitations, and double pivoting to access hidden networks and other technologies, are all required of students in this course. Academic rigour and marketable abilities are emphasized in CPENT, making our certified professionals some of the most in-demand experts in their fields.

Experts in the field created the CPENT training programme to help people hone their enhanced penetration abilities. This programme will teach you how to conduct penetration tests on both IoT and OT systems seen in today's enterprise networks. In-depth challenges encountered by real-world practitioners during penetration testing are addressed in this course. Because of its unique combination of two certifications into a single exam, this training is the first of its kind anywhere in the world. This CPENT training will be delivered as a 5-day instructor-led training delivered by an expert trainer. Participants can take up this CPENT certification course across various learning modes, including classroom training, live online training, 1-on-1 training, and on-site training. Koenig Solutions is an Accredited EC-Council Training Center to deliver its courses worldwide.

Who can take up Certified Penetration Testing Professional (CPENT) Certification Training

Individuals who can take up Certified Penetration Testing Professional online training include, but are not limited to:

• Penetration Testers
• Ethical Hackers
• IT Security Specialists
• Firewall Administrators
• Network Administrators
• Server Administrators
• Security Testing Professionals
• Risk Management Professionals
• Security Operations Center (SOC) Analysts
• Risk Auditors
• System Administrators
• Application Security Analysts

• Information Security Consultants
• Information Security Architects
• Aspiring Penetration Testers
• Professionals who are looking to gain a complete understanding of Penetration Testing concepts
• Professionals who are looking to sit for EC-Council's Certified Penetration Testing Professional (CPENT) certification exam

CPENT is a gruelling 24-hour exam format. However, participants have the option of selecting two 12-hour practical exam sessions, which will test a candidate's perseverance and focus on performing to their fullest potential.

Below is the flow of the CPENT Exam: 

• CPENT Exam Session 1 (12-Hour Session)
• CPENT Exam Session 2 (12-Hour Session)
• Pen Test Report Submission (Within 7 days after Session 2)

In order to pass, you need to score 70% or more.

Professionals who show mastery in penetration testing abilities and if they are able to achieve a score of at least 90% or more on an exam based on some of the world's most secure systems are awarded the Licensed Penetration Tester (LPT) Master credential in addition to the CPENT certificate.

In a way, you have the option of earning two globally-recognized certificate credentials through one CPENT online training.  

Learning Objectives of Certified Penetration Testing Professional (CPENT) Training

Some of the key learning objectives of this CPENT certification training include:

• The goal of the Advanced Windows Attacks Challenge is to evaluate candidates' understanding of PowerShell by requiring them to employ PowerShell bypass techniques in combination with other methods to gain unauthorized access to a Windows machine that has security measures in place.
• The CPENT credential is the first of its kind to introduce the process of hacking IoT devices, which entails a series of steps beginning with searching the device, getting access, identifying firmware, extracting it, and performing reverse engineering.
• Exploiting Complex Binaries is a task for penetration testers, who must get access to the system in order to search for vulnerable binaries, do reverse engineering, and create exploits in order to elevate their privileges.
• The challenger in a segmented architecture must first determine how to bypass the network's filtering measures before he or she can access the web apps, compromise the architecture, and extract the necessary data.
• The challenge of achieving a first-of-its-kind certification in penetration testing for operational technology (OT) is daunting. The tester must break into a secure OT network from the IT side in order to make changes to live data.
• To gain entry to hidden networks using pivoting, a tester must first determine the filtering rules that are in place to prevent penetration of the direct network and only then attempt pivots via the filter to reach the hidden networks.
• Reversing course twice: citing the EC-Council, Accessing concealed networks by double pivoting is a requirement of the CPENT accreditation, which is "the first of its kind in the world." Testers' abilities are put to the test in this exercise because the pivot must be set up by hand.
• Automated attacks are employing scripting languages and frameworks; this challenge calls for expertise with Perl, Python, Ruby, PowerShell, and BASH, as well as penetration testing tools like Metasploit and Fuzzing techniques.
