Project URL: https://academy.hackthebox.com/preview/certifications/htb-certified-active-directory-pentesting-expert
The HTB Certified Active Directory Pentesting Expert (HTB CAPE) is a highly hands-on certification assessing candidates' skills in identifying and exploiting advanced Active Directory (AD) vulnerabilities. HTB CAPE certification holders will possess technical competency in AD and Windows penetration testing, understanding complex attack paths, and employing advanced techniques to exploit them. HTB CAPE certification holders will demonstrate proficiency in executing sophisticated attacks abusing different authentication protocols such as Kerberos and NTLM and abusing misconfigurations within AD components and standard applications in AD environments such as Active Directory Certificate Services (ADCS), Windows Update Server Services (WSUS), Exchange, and Domain Trusts. Furthermore, they will be adept at leveraging specialized tools to exploit AD from Linux and Windows and utilizing Command and Control (C2) frameworks for post-exploitation operations. They will also be able to conduct internal penetration tests professionally against modern AD environments. The HTB CAPE certification represents the next step in advancing in AD pentesting beyond the HTB Certified Penetration Testing Specialist (HTB CPTS) certification.
