You did not fail, you got wiser ;) very nice of you to put this video, youtube it's always full of success stories, showing the other side actually is more motivating somehow as we are all on the same boat. I failed my OSCP the first time, got it after. All the best my friend
I failed the eJPT first attempt and punched a whole in my door, took it again and passed. It feels good I passed but I have to look at this hole, situation change but how we act while in said situation can last forever. You are smart as hell it’s not a matter of if you get it, it’s a matter of when, stay up.
Thanks for making this real. I too am new to hacking and am still working my way through the course but very anxious about the exam. You will crush it on your next attempt!!
I liked this review thank you! I feel like the eJPT is a lot like a CTF exam. Good to know that the PNPT is not one of those but more like a real world example. I need to get some real world experience in before I go for that one.
Everything you need to know is covered in the 5 TCM security courses. 1) Practical Ethical Hacking. 2) Windows Privilege Escalation 3) Linux Privilege Escalation 4) OSINT fundamentals and 5) External Pen-test Play book . Real world experience will help though. But you don’t it’s have to have real world job experience to pass . It’s not a Prerequisite for passing this cert
Appreciate making a video from a failure. It sucks something fierce but I feel like you can learn more in failure than in success. Also helps others not feel alienated in failure since TH-cam tends to only highlight success.
Thank you for sharing your experience. It's really helpful! I hope to aspire to take that exam one day. Please don't give up. You have a new subscriber. 😊👍
Thanks for the review. I was thinking of jumping on PNPT as my first red team cert. Only HTB and THM. Thanks for the highlight! I thought this would be a CTF type as well. Are firewall intrusion and detection also provided in the course?
No firewalls and intrusion detection are not highlighted in the exam, but that is only because it should not be a problem in the exam. If it really mattered for the exam I am sure they would have put it in the course. All the best to you though
I failed my first try aswell. We probably took the same environment. Took me 2 days to get past the osint part too. I ran out of time, one-step from the domain admin. I scored an entry level position so I will go after the OSCP now. I realized what I forgot up on after the test was over
@@tadii I couldn't get a job without a cert. Now that I have one it's on the back burner. But I bought a year subscription. So I have a test in March. If you need any advice hit me up. Not many PoC in this field.
Hi! So I'm preparing to take this exam in the next month or two. You mention in this video that the testing environment includes antivirus and firewalls, which is concerning me. The course (at least so far) does not cover how to avoid being stopped/detected by firewalls and antivirus... In fact in all of the labs they specifically tell you to turn all of that stuff off. For reference I have so far completed the Practical Ethical Hacking Course and a little over half of the OSINT course so maybe it'll be coming up somewhere in the rest of the material, but if not how did you learn how to deal with this?
good question, you will be able to go through everything you need (stuff you've learnt in the course) even if you don't necessarily know how to do AV evasion. It shouldn't be a factor in determining whether you pass or not
@@tadii I did the ejpt as well and now I'm going throught the material set out for the PNPT, looking to test out by end of the month. I was curious if the materiasl laid out was enough to make the test or if there was outside work needed
You get a free retake right? Reviewing your notes after you take a break might help you think of things you might have missed or forgot to try. At least that's what's worked for me in the past.
@@itsm3dud39 I don't know what kind of environment they setup now, cuz I took my exam in 2021, but it was looking for clues to gain access to their services, which can lead to internal compromise, and so on, until DC compromise
I also thought that there wasn't enough hands on labs to practice with. I plan to do every single HTB/THM Active Directory machine I havent done yet (especially the Holo room) to make up for the lack of hands on labs. I should be taking my exam early February, good luck on your next attempt man.

fantastic review. I am currently going through the training and will hopefully will get it done in the next 2-3months. Good luck nxt time bro
Good luck to you too

I’m actually having the same issues with osint
@@3rd3rd43 same here
@@gr1zzlymack dude same OSINT sucks, i'm 11 hours in with nothing to show for except a lot of failed attempts, and my brain hurts....
hi,
so how do you approach a real world pentest from a ctf environment for example, if you can help with that cheers
The PEH course by TCM-Sec teaches you how to do that very world. I just decided ignore it all at the start for some reason
Good luck :D
Wish i had the drive to go the same path some day hehe
Why don't you have the drive though?
Waiting for your PNPT next review guiding how you crushed it.
LOL it is coming soon

Which is better to start with EJPT or PNPT ?
Your keyboard name?
What TCM courses did you take? Did you go throught the five course bundle?
Yes I did go through the training that comes with the course
@@tadii I did the ejpt as well and now I'm going throught the material set out for the PNPT, looking to test out by end of the month. I was curious if the materiasl laid out was enough to make the test or if there was outside work needed
Tadi which one you think i have to pick up ejpt or pnpt?
depends on your experience, just pick one and stick with it
You get a free retake right? Reviewing your notes after you take a break might help you think of things you might have missed or forgot to try. At least that's what's worked for me in the past.
Yeah I'mma take a break and work on a few other things then try again in a bit
What's your system spaces??
Nothing special to be honest. I have an i5 with 16GB of RAM and a trash cpu
@@tadii do you have any gpu?? Also tell me the full spec including with monitor u use 🙄
Did you use TCM security course?
yes i did
@@tadii if you start all over again what would you do?
Dont worry one more try 😊😊
Did you ever retake it?
I have an update on that actually
Are you from south africa???

Man I own that same keyboard.
It's not bad isn't it lol
I'm PNPT certified, I failed my first exam cuz overthinking stuff, it's not ctf for sure
overthinking is the biggest hurdle for sure
@@sscoconut1265 yes I did pass
@@sscoconut1265 you have to know, osint, active directory recon, and exploitation. treat it as real environment you will ace it
@@Sp3cia1m4n like what kind of osint to do in the exam? is it subdomoain enueration or email/username hunting?

is this your first cert
my first cert was the eJPT
For someone who just got his CRTP, how much harder is it compared to PNPT?
I wouldn't know actually. I do not have the CRTP
Chill mate ! Everything was great with you ! Hope you'll think more of a pentest than a CTF. You've lost User's perspective probably

i like that!

I also thought that there wasn't enough hands on labs to practice with. I plan to do every single HTB/THM Active Directory machine I havent done yet (especially the Holo room) to make up for the lack of hands on labs. I should be taking my exam early February, good luck on your next attempt man.
Yeah get as much practice as you can really, all the best when you take the exam in February
Did you get their training before exam
Yeah I did go through the entire training before the exam. I probably just missed something like I said, but also maybe you need a bit more practice with AD before taking the exam
Bro
If you are Pro hacker on HTB, you would breeze through the exam like nothing.
That mean you've been cheating
You will crash it next time.
