| Summary | Advanced white-box and black-box web exploitation: code review, deserialisation, vulnerability chaining. A 10-day exam with a report. One of the hardest on the market. | A first hands-on pentesting exam: a lab with questions about what you find. A good stepping stone before PNPT or OSCP. |
Highlighted: the best in that row.
