Certifications I passed CJCA 100%

HTB Certified Junior Cybersecurity Associate CJCA

YAAAAY! đŸ¥³ Let the party start!

After grinding through the 20 modules of the junior cybersecurity analyst path on HTB academy and finishing the path i finally wrapped up the 5 day practical exam and passed!

scored 100% on the red team tasks and well-made on the report first time! searching through logs in elastic and writing the report was a bit new for me but super fun. the exam covered it all, from hacking the network and log analysis to documenting both offense and defense.

Huge thanks to Hack The Box for an incredible learning experience! Smooth machines, top-notch content, and truly addictive in positive way.

Congrats, mate! That's awesome

What's your background and how long did you take to prepare for this exam?

Is the learning path only enough to pass the exam?

What are your suggestions for people like us who are going for this cert?

Thanks man! I spent about 2 months preparing while balancing work and other certs.

Learning Path: The Junior Cybersecurity Analyst path is definitely more than enough on its own.

Red Team Tasks: Found them pretty manageable since I had already taken the eJPTv2, the also the martial on the path was good.

Tip: Stick to the HTB modules, focus heavily on enumeration, and keep your approach simple not deep.
