eLearnSecurity Junior Penetration Tester Review

Introduction

The eLearnSecurity Junior Penetration Tester (eJPT) penetration testing practical certification provided by eLearnSecurity, a cyber security company that develops cyber security courses that are delivered electronically and that allow students to obtain corresponding certifications.

Offensive Security Proving Grounds (Practice) Review

Introduction

I decided to subscribe to the Proving Grounds platform after failing my first OSCP exam attempt and after completing the virtual hacking labs platform, I was very intrigued by the fact that the machines in this platform were developed by Offensive Security and therefore I was sure the quality of the machines would live up to expectations.

Proving Grounds is a platform that allows you to practice your penetration testing skills in a HTB-like environment, you connect to the lab via OpenVPN and you have a control panel that allows you revert/stop/start machines and submit flags to achieve points and climb the leaderboard.

Virtual Hacking Labs Review

Introduction

I decided to sign up for Virtual Hacking Labs after failing the OSCP exam for the first time. That’s when I started looking for new platforms to practice, and after a long research VHL seemed to be one of the best options and I am grateful I signed up for this as this was definitely one of the reasons I was able to pass my OSCP exam later on.
