Before Class

Why It Matters

With the increasing sophistication of cyber threats, organizations must proactively identify vulnerabilities in their networks, applications, and systems. The Certified Penetration Testing Professional (CPENT) certification validates an individual’s expertise in ethical hacking and penetration testing across various environments, including networks, cloud infrastructure, and IoT. This boot camp prepares professionals to perform real-world penetration tests and secure their organizations against cyber threats.

Day 1: Fundamentals of Penetration Testing
AM
Morning
  • Introduction to Penetration Testing
  • Penetration Testing Scoping and Engagement
  • Open Source Intelligence (OSINT)
PM
Afternoon
  • Social Engineering Penetration Testing
  • Network Penetration Testing – External
  • Network Penetration Testing – Internal

Why It Matters

Understanding penetration testing methodologies, engagement protocols, and intelligence gathering techniques is crucial for ethical hackers. Network-based attacks remain one of the most common cyber threats, and learning how to assess external and internal vulnerabilities is the first step in strengthening security.

Day 2: Advanced Network and Web Application Penetration Testing
AM
Morning
  • Network Penetration Testing – Perimeter Devices
  • Web Application Penetration Testing
  • Wireless Penetration Testing
PM
Afternoon
  • Identifying and Exploiting Web Application Vulnerabilities
  • Conducting Advanced Wireless Attacks
  • Hands-on Labs for Network and Web Application Testing

Why It Matters

Web applications and wireless networks are among the top targets for cybercriminals. This session teaches penetration testers how to evaluate security flaws in web applications and wireless networks to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.

Day 3: Specialized Penetration Testing Areas
AM
Morning
  • IoT Penetration Testing
  • OT/SCADA Penetration Testing
  • Cloud Penetration Testing
PM
Afternoon
  • Identifying and Exploiting IoT Vulnerabilities
  • Evaluating Security Risks in SCADA/OT Systems
  • Performing Cloud-Based Attacks and Security Assessments

Why It Matters

As IoT devices, industrial control systems, and cloud environments become more integrated into business operations, they introduce new attack surfaces. This session covers how to assess and secure these emerging technologies effectively.

Day 4: Advanced Exploitation Techniques and Post-Exploitation
AM
Morning
  • Binary Analysis and Exploitation
  • Reverse Engineering Techniques
  • Advanced Privilege Escalation
PM
Afternoon
  • Post-Exploitation Tactics and Lateral Movement
  • Maintaining Persistence on Compromised Systems
  • Hands-on Labs for Exploitation and Post-Exploitation

Why It Matters

Penetration testers must go beyond scanning and basic attacks; they need to exploit vulnerabilities effectively and understand how attackers maintain persistence. This session teaches red team professionals how to escalate privileges, evade detection, and simulate real-world cyberattacks.

Day 5: Reporting, Compliance, and Professional Best Practices
AM
Morning
  • Report Writing and Post Testing Actions
  • Communicating Findings to Stakeholders
  • Mapping Vulnerabilities to Industry Frameworks (MITRE ATT&CK, NIST, ISO 27001)
PM
Afternoon
  • Ethical Considerations in Penetration Testing
  • Final Exam Preparation and Lab Review
  • Course Wrap-Up and Career Guidance

Why It Matters

A penetration test is only as valuable as the report generated. Security professionals must articulate their findings effectively to stakeholders and provide actionable remediation steps. This session prepares participants for professional reporting, compliance alignment, and ethical decision-making in penetration testing engagements.
