Certified Red Team Operator (CRTO) is a penetration testing/red teaming certification and course that teaches the basic red team principles, tools and techniques, entirely through the Cobalt Strike command and control (C2) framework.

In this review, I take the time to talk about my experience with this certification, the pros, and cons of enrolling in the course, my thoughts after taking and passing the exam, and a few tips and tricks.
