EJPT done

One more done..
I had bought the elearnsecurity eJPT in late 2019 before knowing I will go to SANS Sec560 class (GPEN), so this class had sit for a while. I review the material and did the exam. It's a nice exam, you have to hack some VM/network and answer some multiple-choice question. So it is all hands-on, a bit basic, but don't get fooled, it really test the basics of pentesting (recon, nmap, basic metasploit, pivoting, web app etc..). You have 3 days to complete the test. I took something around 9-10h, but I lost a lot of time on trying to root a box before choosing to find an alternative way.

Thanks @chrisone
Yes it is one done in my overly ambitious 2021 plan. OSCP may be replaced by eCPPTv2 as I have the INE subscription already.. and there is much overlap. Currently I have 2 projects, eCPPTv2 and my background reading are in the CISM/CISA area (an addition to the 2021 plan), so I may be added.
Still waiting for budget approval and better COVID condition for GCIH, I prefer to go in-person for a 7K$ class.
