CPTS DONE !!!!!

so as you guys know from my previous posts, a long journey came to an end... im going to take a biiiiig break and relax, will completely switch off my mind... just finished my 12th flag and done.

I was making report side by side... just need to add bits and bobs.. 7 days... This cert tests your mental fortitude and the physical.. once Inshallah when i have my passing result, i will do the feedback... for now good night folks.. tonight will be the first night i will sleep like a baby :D , I almost cried getting the 12th flag,, cause of the sentiments that i have towards this cert, this whole HackTheBox community and mission that I have to provide better for the family, to my kids so they do not have to face hte challenges that i faced.. but this is not the end by any means !!!...

I already have had CRTP and CRTO. A long journey ahead begins after few days of break. The goal is to be a senior red teamer, oh next stop porbably COAE, half way through the pathway. now I will focus on that full time.. Enjoy folks be safe where ever you are. Peace

CPTS target on sight!!

Finally, the day has come to take the CPTS exam after putting it off for quite a while.

Initially, I was preparing for CPTS, but then I decided to go after CRTO and CRTP first because I’m far more interested in red teaming than traditional pentesting. I ended up getting both certifications—in that order. I know, I’m probably crazy 😂 considering most people do it the other way around, which honestly makes more sense since CRTO is a beast in a league of its own.

Anyway, in about a week’s time, over the weekend, I’ll be kicking off the CPTS exam. The plan is to use Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday for the technical side, then focus on reporting afterwards. I’m not too worried about the report since writing has always been one of my stronger points.

We’ll see how it goes.

In the meantime, I’m enjoying Season 11 of HTB, although I’m not particularly happy that the insane-difficulty boxes have been removed from the equation. I always felt they added an extra challenge and made things more interesting.
