@hanyhasan - The videos and PDF's cover a lot, but because of the 'adaptive' nature of pentesting, there is expectation that not everything in the exam is going to be a 'cut and dry' example of something that was directly covered by the courseware, leaving the student to use their intuition and research skills to find answers, much like a live, real-world pentest would. @r0ckm4n - keep trying, keep studying, keep working at it. Pass or fail, as impelse noted, you're learning. Experience, in this field, comes painfully, sometimes, but it's well worth the effort, and shows your determination and dedication. Wishing you luck on the next (and hopefully final) attempt!  Thanks, hyabusa! I learn more with each exam attempt. I was close on my last two exam attempts and I believe I will pass it next time. |

I failed again, but I was so close. I rooted 3 servers giving me 55 points and I had low level access to 2 other servers, but time ran out before I could get root. I will be retaking the exam on June 22 at the latest.
Hard luck , never give up and i was only scared from taking CCIE " from Cisco "  . I read the subject from the beginning and let me asking you why there is no support from the trainer or does the material " Videos & PDF " not covering those attacks . The CCIE exam is about troubleshoot the network and more you practice to solve the network issues the faster you can solve the exam and pass but the material does cover the exam objective . Hard luck again & sorry i talked about Cisco here  . Forget about my English every 1  Thanks and I won't give up. I am more determined. There is a lot of missing instruction from the course materials, but I have learned a lot. It seems to be there teaching approach and it is working, but if it was covered more in depth it would take as long. |

If you see you are becoming a serius pentester, you keep rooting those boxes in the lab, you attempt to hack 5 servers in 24 hours, with a lot of pressure specially coming from the time frame of the exam and from yourself, normally in a pentest you do not have those shorts time (5 servers in 24 hours, LOL).
So if you can hack in those circumstances in the exam how is the real pentest?, sure you will be able to hack them and outside the box, without automatic expensive tools (I am not saying you will not use them).
At the end you are wining and wining every time to attempt the exam, it is not lost, it will pay off.
Actually I am a pentester and you are correct about getting more time. I needed to improve my hacking skills and that's why I took this course. I had experience with vulnerability assessments and automated tools. |

Some good advice from the others. I have taken courses from eLearnSecurity, Offensive Security, Hacking Dojo (before it was called Hacking Dojo), and a CEH course. I learned the least from the CEH course. The CEH course taught me how to use individual tools, but not putting it together using a methodology. These other courses go beyond just teaching you the tools. I would recommend starting with eLearnSecurity or Hacking Dojo and Offensive Security after you have a better understanding of pentesting.

Every book about hacking I read always tell you patience will always pay off, you try hard and harder, you will get it and it will pay off, why because you really are learning the stuff, keep drilling, you will get it.
Also you inspire us, good.
Thank you for the encouragement, impelse! I am even more determined and once I pass, it will mean even more to me. When I think of where my skills and knowledge was at a little over a year ago, I am amazed at what I have learned. Since I started really hitting this course hard back around the holidays, it has paid off even more. At first it was forcing myself to study and now I have to force myself to do other things outside of this. |

Wow, we seriously had the most busy days of our company's history!
Anyway, let's answer some questions from current students:
1) 50% OFF for the eCPPT Gold voucher expired yesterday
2) 50% OFF for the WAPT course will expire on May 31st
I wished I would have waited longer to sign up. I figured the 30% offered during the WAPT launch event would have been the best offer I could get. The 50% off offer is for existing eLearnSecurity students. Oops, I missed that. Thanks for pointing that out, m0wgli. |
