The Ec-Council’s CPENT Training And Certification
The EC-Council CPENT Training and Certification (C|PENT) curriculum teaches how to conduct effective penetration testing in business networks to protect against attacks, exploits, and threats. If you’ve only worked in flat networks, CPENT Training and Certification live practice range will teach you how to pen test loT and OT systems, write your own exploits, build your own tools, conduct advanced binary exploitation, double pivot to access hidden networks, and customize scripts/exploits to reach the network’s innermost segments.
The CPENT Training and Certification program aims to improve pen testing skills through hands-on experience on genuine cyber ranges. The certified penetration testing ranges were created to be dynamic in order to offer you with a realistic training experience. As targets and technologies change in live networks, both the (C/PENT) practice and exam ranges will reflect this reality as our team of engineers add new targets and defenses throughout the duration of the CPENT course.

Exam Details:-
SINGLE EXAM, DUAL CERTIFICATION?
Should you score at least 70% in the C|PENT practical exam, you shall attain the C|PENT credential. However, if you are one of the few rare experts on the planet, you may be able to hit the minimum 90% to earn the Licensed Penetration Tester (LPT) Master Credential! CPENT Training and Certification is a fully online, remotely proctored practical exam that evaluates candidates through a challenging 24-hour performance-based, hands-on exam. The exam is broken into two practical exams of 12 hours each that will test your perseverance and focus by forcing you to outdo yourself with each new challenge. Candidates have the option to choose either two 12-hour exams or one 24-hour exam.
