CERTIFIED PENETRATION TESTER (C|PENT v2)

The EC-Council Certified Penetration Testing
Professional (C|PENT) certification program is a comprehensive, hands-on training
designed for cybersecurity professionals seeking to master advanced penetration
testing methodologies, including AI-driven techniques. The program equips
candidates with the practical skills necessary to execute end-to-end penetration
testing engagements across real-world enterprise environments, including IoT

C|PENT goes beyond traditional theoretical learning by combining guided learning,
self-study, and live cyber ranges. The course emphasizes a systematic, practical
approach that mirrors a hacker’s methodology, covering everything from planning,
scoping, and reconnaissance to exploitation, privilege escalation, pivoting, and
reporting. Unique to C|PENT is the integration of AI tools like ChatGPT, ShellGPT,
and PentestGPT, enabling automation of complex tasks and enhancing testing
efficiency.
Candidates face challenges across multiple disciplines, including Active Directory,
binary exploitation, IoT penetration, social engineering, API security, and advanced
scripting techniques. The program culminates in a 100% practical exam that
validates technical and non-technical skills, making graduates fully prepared to take
on roles such as Penetration Tester, Red Team Operator, and Security Consultant.
