What is the Practical Network Penetration Tester Certification?
The PNPT certification exam is a one-of-a-kind ethical hacking certification exam that assesses a student’s ability to perform a network penetration test at a professional level. In order to receive the certification, a student must:
- Perform Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) to gather intel on how to properly attack the network
- Leverage their Active Directory exploitation skillsets to perform A/V and egress bypassing, lateral and vertical network movements, and ultimately compromise the exam Domain Controller
- Provide a detailed, professionally written report
- Perform a live report debrief in front of our assessors
