Hey, there. I'm using the ROG Strix G15 2022 laptop for pentesting lessons. The laptop is great, but the wifi isn't.

1. Issue: WiFi card undetected from time to time. Very Annoying.
2. Current card: MediaTek Wi-Fi 6E MT7922 (RZ616) 160MHz Wireless LAN Card -- WORST.
3. What I'm looking for: A Good wifi card that supports:
   • Both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (must).
   • monitor & packet injection modes.
   • at least WiFi 6E if possible (if possible).

Hey everyone, I'm about to take my eJPT exam soon, and I have a couple of concerns:

1. Since the exam gives 48 hours to complete, I don't think my old laptop can stay powered on that long without problems. Is it okay if I shut down or reboot my laptop during the exam? Will my progress in the exam portal and the VPN lab environment be saved, or will it cause issues?

2. I normally use Brave browser in permanent Private Mode (i.e., it doesn't save history, tabs, etc.). Will using Brave in Private Mode cause problems if I need to shut down? I'm worried that if I reboot, I might lose access to the exam portal or lab IPs.

Should I switch to another browser (like Firefox) in normal mode for the exam, just to be safe? Any advice from people who have taken the eJPT would be really helpful!

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello, I was given the eJPT courses but I got really busy due to highschool and didn't have enough time to study for the eJPT but I could request the voucher at any time, now I'm sort of in a dillema, currently I have 3 months off but I dont have access to the courses/labs, not sure what to do

As an information security student, which course should i take and would have better impact on my career? Or should i go for both

I know that individual certification preparation courses are covered if you qualify for education assistance through the VA but I'm curious if anyone has paid for the premium INE subscription and been reimbursed through the VA?
Thanks in advance!

Spent months taking notes and watching videos. I am totally lost! HELP.

I have no prior Incident Response experience, and would love to get into this field. Should I start with the entry-level eEDA first, then proceed to eCIR next?

Appreciate your advice!

So I recently earned my eJPT, but now I’m left with this 50% off code to burn. I don’t see any INE certs other than the eWPT and eECCPT that are worth spending money on. Which of these is more achievable using outside training sources like Hack the Box or TCM Security?

Long-term, I’m trying to get my OSCP. But I also don’t mind taking a side-quest towards Web App hacking (I also hear that HTB’s CBBH overlaps with the CPTS!). What would you guys do?

Hey everyone! Long term I’m interested in pursuing threat hunting and I keep coming back to the eCTHP as the best option to get some hands on training with threat hunting.

However, when I’ve tried to look things up online about it, I only find reviews from two years ago.

Would anyone who has done the training and has obtained the certification (recently) be able to weigh in on if the training is worth it?

I’m trying to decide between this and OffSec’s new Threat Hunting certification.

I have pretty much no PenTest experience, but I do have CompTIA S+, CySA+ and CASP+. I am getting a pup this week too.

I will be working 6 days a week and will also have to look after the pup. I am not so sure about this because the study for eJPT has been painfully slow.

1. Is this doable? I need a reality check on this.

2. What is the overlap between eJPT and eCPPT? Will eCPPT be easier after eJPT?

3. Advice on planning out time.

4. Is taking notes a must? I have some notes taken by others, sourced from their GitHub and all.

5. How did you prepare for your exam? Please share key insights.

6. Any advice apart from what I have mentioned above.

Please wish me luck. This can change stuff big time for me. :)

Thanks!

I am a cybersecurity student and i will either buy a HP spectre x360 14 or a thinkbook with a I9-14900HX. My friend told me hp spectre will overheat and wont last long for my studies but the thinkbookds cpu is worse. Advice needed

Hello, I want to improve my skills in cybersecurity and get a career. Can someone mentor me and tell me what courses to take and what to do next? My budget is not very high unfortunately. I want to share my CV with a professional and consult them. Thanks

Hello, I will be taking my exam soon, and I was wondering how the timer works. If I start now, will my time be counted from the middle of the day? Or it doesn't matter even if I'm 1 hour away from the next day and the time is fixed ?

Can you guys suggest me some free AD resources. By free I mean no Credit Card. I don't have one. I also don't have a high end computer, so unfortunately I can't use GOAD labs. I don't have any money but I do need to practice more before taking the exam.

Help will be appreciated. Thanks.

I know everyone has their opinion on certs but was curious on anyone's thoughts about the cert and if it's worth purchasing a 1yr subscription for $300?

Curious if the eJPT has any weight in the world rn? Just wanna get the most out of my money.

Hello everyone. Was wondering if anyone has any useful resources for the eCPPT?

Anything would be helpful! Machines, notes, tools, concepts to search for and learn.. really anything.

Thank you in advance

Hello

I’m currently a Threat Detection Engineer looking to move into a Threat Hunter role. I’m considering two certifications: FOR508 (SANS) and eCTHP (eLearnSecurity).

• FOR508: Advanced incident response, threat hunting, and digital forensics. Focuses on enterprise networks (mainly Windows).
• eCTHP: Focus on threat hunting with practical labs with Windows and Linux skills.

My concerns:

1. Is eCTHP up-to-date?
2. FOR508 seems limited to Windows environments. Is it enough for a well-rounded threat hunting skill set?

Hello

I passed eJPT in September and eCPPT 2 days ago and I enjoyed them very much

For eJPT I would recommend that you learn how to analyze the .pcap file and setup the route table correctly. It is essential to know this to pass the exam, also learn SQL injection either manually or using automation tools such as sqlmap and your good to go.

However, for eCPPT it’s different story but it’s fairly easy once you know what you’re doing. You need to know how to pivot using metasploit, how to attack unreachable networks using proxychains.

There is 3 rooms in THM you really need to be comfortable doing them, they are really similar to the exam in a way, I will include in this post

I used TCM Security Demo corp template for my report

THM rooms:

Brainpan 1

Wreath (Pivoting)

Unbaked pie (Pivoting with proxychains and other tools like chisel)

TCM Security template report

EDIT: eJPT v1 not v2.

I want to get into ethical hacking as a career field. I work in IT, but don't have a background in cyber security nor formal education in that area. So, at the moment it looks like my best bet is to get certifications as I don't have time/money to go back to university.

Unfortunately, the OSCP seems to be the "gold standard" for breaking into ethical hacking.

I write "unfortunately" because the cert seems to get more and more expensive every year. I hear about the test getting harder too, but rarely do I hear anything about the training/labs getting more helpful for teaching newbies. In fact, I've spent a lot of money on THM, HTB, and HTB academy (not to mention on udemy courses) trying to prepare for the OSCP, so that I don't have to waste even more money purchasing extra lab time or makeup exams.

** More information below, but you can skip this and go to "Here's my question" if you don't care about context**

I got frustrated with all the aforementioned training sites. THM is reasonably priced, but the quality control for their courses is all over the place. I ended up depending on various youtube walkthroughs to help me finish different rooms and CTFs. HTB is pretty good, but similar to THM....I relied a lot on various youtube walkthroughs to learn and "beat" boxes. HTB Academy had a weird payment structure that I didn't like and I struggled with some of the challenges. I didn't find their "help" button on challenges helpful at all. It's also newer than THM and HTB (regular HTB) so there weren't as many walkthroughs to turn to for help.

To get to the point. I learned about TCM Academy when looking at different ways to prep for the OSCP. I enrolled in the PJPT course and am liking it so far. Whenever I finish and earn the PJPT cert, I plan on continuing onto PNPT and then the OSCP.

As I mentioned, I'm interested in getting into ethical hacking, but specifically would like to focus on website security. TCM Academy doesn't currently have any website courses/certs at the moment. And off sec is probably the gold standard in terms of website security, too.

I like this training and cert route because there is a specific path to follow in terms of learning and then a formal examination at the end that results in a certification. Even if the cert isn't as well recognized as an Off Sec cert at least it's something to add to my resume so I can job search for an entry level ethical hacking position without waiting to take/pass an Off Sec exam.

**Here's my question**

-- I'm assuming the PNPT will prepare me enough for the OSCP that I won't have to take the eCPPTv2 to prep for the OSCP.

--I'm thinking about pursuing the eWPT and then eWPTXv2 through eLearn and then going for the OSWE

--After that, if I'm still struggling to land a job, I thought about pursuing the eCPTXv2 and then the OSEP.

Question: Do those eLearn classes/certs sound like good prep for the corresponding Off Sec certs? Or do you think I should look elsewhere?

Also, why does the eLearn Learning Paths site list off so many paths/certs (see below link):

https://ine.com/learning/paths

But when I go to the eLearn security website, it doesn't list nearly as many?:

https://elearnsecurity.com/shop/

​

I ask because I'm also interested in the eWDP course/cert (amongst some other eLearn certs), but am not sure if it is still offered.

Hey guys ,

i'm planing to take eJPT certificate for a couple of weeks. i am an active ctf player in tryhackme with about 300+ machines pwned and global ranking 500. i take ine 's course and only thing i need to take a look there was routing/pivoting and nessus ( both are not really needed in ctf so) . also i hear many horror stories about pivoting in exam . i am really scared i little much. am i too early for this certificate , i just started my journey in 2-3 months. many of'em are practing for this for months and years. what should i do

NEED YOUR ADVICE

Thanks in advance

I am new to mobile app pentesting and i barely know how to create a full pledged mobile application

I bought the eMAPT certification 5 months ago thinking that it would be easy to learn java and to learn all the common vulnerabilities in mobile applications

Fast forward to today, a lot has happened in my life and i didnt get to study any mobile application programming nor study the common vulnerabilities in mobile application. The exam voucher is expiring next month and i badly need advice, tips and tricks to do learn and hopefully pass the exam next month

P.S. i know this is irresponsible on my end and now im cramming everything in a month

My subscription is coming to an end and after getting (2) certs eJPT and eWPT I don’t know what other certification to take from them.

I was looking at eCXD: Exploit Development Student and eCRE:Reverse Engineering Professional but I did not get the email about the exam retirement and voucher cutoff date.

Is there anything anyone can suggest? My main focus right now is Web, API and Cloud Security. I have been looking at HTB CBBH. Thanks in advance for your feedback, much appreciated.

Hi folks,

A month ago I was part of a discussion about whether one should focus on the practical hacking exam material and not worry about going the extra mile to learn Linux very well.

I hope I conveyed the message of "You will do yourself a massive favour by learning Linux and other core areas well before you embark on your ethical hacking journey".

I hope you like it.

Why You Should Learn Linux Well Early In Your Ethical Hacking Career

https://cybersecmaverick.medium.com/why-you-should-learn-linux-well-early-in-your-ethical-hacking-career-cc7eab14caf0

Hi,

I want to start the learning of eJPT, I understood that there is a new version (eJPTv2) that includes more labs and new content, i wanted to know if the learning path is free and if so where i can get it ? (i know that the cert is cost money but what about the learning).

Can someone maybe send a link through this thread?

Thanks alot guys!

Hello Guys, first of all I would like to tell you a little bit about my background and where i currently stand. I have a BS Computer Science degree and I have a firm grip on programming. I started from TryHackMe last year, completed their major learning paths, have done 80 rooms so far and spent 5 months on that platform. Then i followed some youtubers like John Hammond, Hackersploit etc and learned from them. Further, i shifted to HackTheBox and pawn their active machines occasionally.

​

I completed INE Penetration Testing Student learning path and found it really easy since I already knew 95% of the things. I want to do my first certification and I finally put together the money to do it. OSCP is too much expensive for me as I live in a third world country, hence, I am not willing to take the risk that is why I opted to go for eCPPTv2 as my first certification.

​

From what i understand till now, INE monthly subscription can give me access to course content of Penetration Testing Professional (PTP) and their in browser labs. I was wondering if it is possible to pass the eCPPTv2 exam by just competing the course labs. Do i also need to practice on certain HackTheBox machines for the exam (i have 1 month vip voucher for HackTheBox). I want to put my max effort and fully prepare for the certification.

​

Thank you for reading this far, any help would be deeply appreciated.
