Re: New Certification: CompTIA PenTest+
I postponed my CompTIA Cloud+ beta exam SO many time since I was juggling work and graduate classes at the same time. I ended up scheduling it for the very last day to take the exam (I think they announced it closed Oct 27). I guess 400 people hadn't signed up for it because I was able to take it. I wouldn't worry about… -
Re: New Certification: CompTIA PenTest+
ANY TE folks that are certified PenTesters already, how did you prepare for Pen Tester type of exams? Did you create a lab network at home, install several different OSes (XP/Vista/Server2003/2008 on old systems or VMs, managed switches, 2nd router, web server (IIS & Apache), secondary WAP? I guess you would want to do… -
Re: New Certification: CompTIA PenTest+
Just got done taking the Beta exam as well. I will have to agree with you, this exam was difficult. Although I don’t have a pentesting background, I have defensive cyber ops experience and thought I was going to do better than I did. Like said before, you have to fully understand the tools and how they work. Better have… -
Re: New Certification: CompTIA PenTest+
I signed up for late April, but for you TE folks that are certified PenTesters already, how did you prepare for OSCP/CEH/etc exams? Did you create a lab network at home, install several different OSes (XP/Vista/Server2003/200 on old systems or VMs, managed switches, 2nd router, web server (IIS & Apache), secondary WAP? I… -
Re: New Certification: CompTIA PenTest+
Unlicensed pentester here. :) Judging from the two feedbacks so far (thanks EnderWiggin and Atippet), I'm personally going to take this exam more seriously now. I've been involved in a few pentests at work. For the exam, whatever I'm not familiar with, I'll lab. I don't get much value out of memorizing tool names and what… -
Re: New Certification: CompTIA PenTest+
Hopefully this turns into a Cloud+ situation and a bunch of us pass even though we think we clearly failed LOL. I passed Cloud+ and have no idea how it was a monster and I have very little Cloud background like a couple of yrs doing basic things. The exam was tailored more to a Cloud Admin. Maybe this Pentest will be the… -
Re: New Certification: CompTIA PenTest+
Thanks to your feedback, I have canceled my exam. I was under the false assumption that since CompTIA asked for CEH qualified individuals to help develop the exam that it would merely require a read through and maybe some hands on stuff. Your advice is definitely helpful, so thank you for that. Now, I don't know if they… -
Re: New Certification: CompTIA PenTest+
Really interesting to see the feedback on this exam. I've always thought that the CompTIA certs were good for measuring ones baseline knowledge on each cert topic. For me the issue was always value proposition. I got the Net+ and Sec+ and they did nothing for my career. I did however just pick up the CySA+ and CASP books… -
Re: New Certification: CompTIA PenTest+
Just got back from the testing center. I think I might have passed. I found it to be easier than expected. Maybe I've been underestimating my pentesting knowledge. Either that or I'm delusional. I actually enjoyed taking it and often during questions I'd think to myself, "I've done that before" or "I just had to do that…
