| Summary | A first hands-on pentesting exam: a lab with questions about what you find. A good stepping stone before PNPT or OSCP. | Very common in job ads and with HR, but the main exam is multiple choice and the technical community rates it poorly. Expensive for what it proves. |
Highlighted: the best in that row.
