Certified Pen Tester
Go Beyond Kali Linux
C PENT program teaches you how to perform an effective penetration testing in an enterprise network environment that must be attacked, exploited, evaded, and defended. C|PENT is a multidisciplinary course with extensive hands-on training in a wide range of crucial skills, including advanced Windows attacks, Internet of Things (IoT) and Operational Technology (OT) systems, filtered network bypass techniques, exploit writing, single and double pivoting, advanced privilege escalation, and binary exploitation. In summary, there is no program of its kind in the world!
In today’s cybersecurity landscape, knowing how to protect systems is not enough — you must also understand how they can be attacked. HackerBook Technologies’ Certified Penetration Testing Professional (CPENT) course empowers students to think like attackers, learn real-world penetration testing, and build skills to secure modern enterprise environments.
What is the CPENT / Certified Pen Tester program?
CPENT, offered by EC-Council, is a globally recognized certification that goes beyond basic hacking. It covers advanced penetration testing scenarios: enterprise network attacks, exploit writing, pivoting (single & double), bypassing protections, privilege escalation, and even testing in diverse domain areas such as IoT and Operational Technology (OT) systems. The program teaches not just theory but extensive hands-on training in attack, evasion, exploitation, defense, and full red-team style exercises. HackerBook’s version of this program is designed to simulate real-world assault surfaces so students get to practice in controlled but realistic lab settings.
Why choose HackerBook’s CPENT Course?
Some distinguishing features include learning from Hari Subbara, a cybersecurity architect with 15-20+ years of experience. The course is delivered in flexible modes (both online and offline batches), allowing learners to pick what works best for them. They also provide job assistance, resume support, and access to hiring partners. This isn’t just a training program; it’s intended to help students land roles like Penetration Tester, Ethical Hacker, SOC Analyst, Security Engineer, and similar cyber-defense positions.
What you will learn
By enrolling, students master advanced network and web application penetration testing, API testing, wireless & cloud security, and even working with pivoting & privilege escalation. Other modules include red-team vs blue-team tactics, exploit writing, bypassing filtered networks, reporting, and threat simulations. These skills are built through roughly 40 hours of training, with about 70% of the course being practical, reinforcing the hands-on experience.
Who this is for & prerequisites
Ideal for freshers, interns, bug bounty hunters, manual testers, or anyone shifting toward cybersecurity roles. Some background helps: familiarity with basic cybersecurity concepts, an understanding of TCP/IP, firewalls, encryption, enterprise OS (Windows/Linux), web development basics (Python, HTML, JavaScript, SQL). Creative, analytical thinking is emphasized.
