Overview

What you will be able to do

CPENT is EC-Council's advanced penetration testing credential, and version 2 rebuilds it around AI-assisted testing workflows. This mentor-led programme, delivered by an EC-Council Master Trainer, takes you through all 14 CPENT modules the way a real engagement runs: scoping and rules of engagement, OSINT and attack-surface mapping, social engineering, web application and API testing, perimeter defense evasion, Windows and Linux exploitation and privilege escalation, Active Directory attacks, reverse engineering and binary exploitation, lateral movement and pivoting, IoT testing, and finally professional report writing. Every module is practiced hands-on in a live lab. Your enrollment fee covers the training and the official EC-Council CPENT exam voucher, so you leave with a NUEXUS completion certificate and a booked path to the CPENT credential, which EC-Council issues when you pass its 24-hour practical exam.

Outcomes
Scope, plan, and run a full penetration testing engagement under rules of engagement, from OSINT and attack-surface mapping to a client-ready report
Test web applications, APIs, and JSON Web Tokens for authentication, authorization, injection, and business-logic weaknesses
Exploit Windows and Linux hosts, escalate privileges, and attack Active Directory environments the way modern adversaries do
Evade perimeter defenses, move laterally, and pivot through segmented networks to reach protected targets
Perform reverse engineering, fuzzing, and binary exploitation, and assess IoT devices and their supporting infrastructure
Use AI-assisted techniques to accelerate reconnaissance, analysis, and reporting, and sit the 24-hour CPENT practical exam with a tested methodology

Who it is for

  • Ethical hackers and CEH holders who want to step up to a fully practical, engagement-style penetration testing credential
  • Penetration testers, red teamers, and VAPT consultants who need a recognized advanced certification for client and employer requirements
  • SOC, blue team, and security engineering professionals moving into offensive security
  • Security consultants and IT professionals who want to prove they can run an end-to-end penetration test, not only individual attacks
  • Candidates aiming at the Licensed Penetration Tester (LPT) designation, which EC-Council awards for a score above 90% on the same exam

Prerequisites

  • Solid ethical hacking and networking fundamentals: CEH-level knowledge or equivalent hands-on experience
  • Comfort at the command line on both Windows and Linux, and familiarity with common tools such as Nmap, Burp Suite, and Metasploit
  • Basic scripting ability in at least one language such as Python, Bash, or PowerShell is strongly recommended
  • A laptop able to run virtual machines and a stable internet connection for the live labs and the online exam range

Learn by doing, in a real environment

CPENT is a practical exam, so this is a practical course. Every module is a live-lab exercise that mirrors the exam range: enumerate, exploit, escalate, pivot, and write it up.

Certification path

Two credentials, and they are not the same thing

This course prepares you for the EC-Council Certified Penetration Testing Professional (CPENT v2 with AI) credential, and your enrollment fee includes the official EC-Council CPENT exam voucher. The CPENT exam is fully practical and proctored, taken on EC-Council's live cyber range as one 24-hour session or two 12-hour sessions, followed by a penetration test report submitted within seven days. Scoring above 90% additionally earns the Licensed Penetration Tester (LPT) designation. We prepare you thoroughly through the full 14-module lab curriculum, but no course can guarantee an exam pass, and the credential itself is issued and verified by EC-Council.

NUEXUS training certificate

Issued by NUEXUS when you complete the course. Anyone can confirm it is genuine on our verification portal.
