The Certified Penetration Tester (CPENT) curriculum from EC-Council is all about pen tests, and it will educate you how to do them in an enterprise network environment where they must be attacked, exploited, evaded, and defended. If you've only worked with flat networks, CPENT's live practice range will teach you how to pen test IoT systems and OT systems, as well as how to write your own exploits, build your own tools, conduct advanced binaries exploitation, double pivot to access hidden networks, and customize scripts and exploits to get into the network's most inaccessible segments.

• About this course

  The Certified Penetration Tester (CPENT) curriculum from EC-Council teaches you how to conduct a successful penetration test in a corporate network that must be attacked, exploited, avoided, and protected.If you've only worked with flat networks, CPENT's live practice range will teach you how to pen test IoT systems and OT systems, as well as how to write your own exploits, build your own tools, conduct advanced binaries exploitation, double pivot to access hidden networks, and customize scripts/exploits to get into the network's innermost segments.

• What will you learn by taking this course?

  Advanced Windows Attacks

  This zone has a whole forest, which you must first acquire access to before executing Silver and Gold Ticket and Kerberoasting via PowerShell or any other method.The machines will be configured with protections in place, requiring you to score points within the zone using PowerShell bypass techniques and other complex approaches.

  Attacking IOT Systems

  CPENT is the first certification that requires you to first locate IoT devices before gaining network access.Once on the network, you must locate the IoT device's firmware, extract it, and reverse engineer it.

  Writing Exploits: Advanced Binary Exploitation

  Competent pen testers must be able to find flaws in code.In this zone, you must locate and reverse engineer faulty binaries in order to build vulnerabilities that allow you to take control of the program's execution.The task is made more difficult by the requirement to get access from the perimeter before discovering the binaries.After that, you'll need to reverse engineer the code.CPENT, unlike other certifications, includes 32 and 64-bit code challenges, and some of the code will be generated with minimal non-executable stack safeguards.To exploit these binaries, you'll need to develop a driver program and then figure out how to escalate privileges. This will necessitate extensive binary exploitation skills, including the most up-to-date debugging principles and egg hunting approaches.To get your shell code to work and circumvent system protections, you must first design input code to take control of program execution and then map an area in memory.

  Pentesting Operational Technology (OT)

  The CPENT range includes a zone devoted to ICS SCADA networks, which the candidate must breach from the IT network side in order to obtain access to the OT network. Once you've arrived, you'll need to locate the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and edit the data in order to affect the OT network. The Mod Bus Communication protocol, as well as communication between the PLC and other nodes, must be intercepted.
