environment that must be attacked, exploited, evaded, and defended. If you have
only been working in flat networks, CPENT’s live practice range will teach you
to take your skills to the next level by teaching you how to pen test IoT systems,
OT systems, how to write your own exploits, build your own tools, conduct
advanced binaries exploitation, double pivot to access hidden networks, and
also customize scripts/exploits to get into the innermost segments of the
network
