Penetration Testing eXtreme

The Penetration Testing eXtreme (PTX) course builds the ability to run advanced adversary simulations and apply attack techniques that get past mature corporate detection.

PTX is an online, self-paced training course providing the knowledge and skills to run state-sponsored style operations, carry out advanced adversary simulations, and apply implementation details for numerous undocumented attacks and much more. PTX comes with lifetime access to course materials and flexible access to the most advanced virtual labs in network and web application security.

Highly Practical

Perform advanced network penetration testing against real-world network infrastructures. PTX includes the most advanced virtual lab in network and web application security: Hera Lab.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between PTX and PTP?

PTP teaches how to run a professional penetration test end to end. PTX builds on that: it focuses on operating without detection in organisations with mature defences, and on advanced adversary simulation.

What are the prerequisites?

This is an advanced programme. Penetration testing experience, familiarity with Active Directory environments and scripting ability are expected.

Who is it suitable for?

Experienced penetration testers, red team members and security teams running advanced threat simulations.
