Road to eJPT – Introduction

Hello!

It’s been a while since I posted something here.

Today I decided to start my cybersecurity diary. I want to systematize my efforts to obtain cybersecurity-related certificates.

Finally, I have time to knuckle down the eJPT certificate I mentioned in the CyberSec Certification: eJPT & eWPT courses preview article.

If you want to check my assumptions, steps, and impressions about the course – lend an ear!

Get down to business

As you can see, in my previous article – CyberSec Certification: eJPT & eWPT courses preview, I mentioned a few months ago (time flies…) that I’ve bought two eLearnSecuirty courses:

1. eJPT – Penetration Testing Student v4 with eJPT (junior penetration tester) exam voucher;
2. eWAPT – Web Application Penetration Testing v3 with eWAPT exam voucher.

In the meantime, they become a part of the INE learning platform, but for the time being, I’ll stick to the old portal – it doesn’t matter.

Today I’m starting a diary to force on myself weekly progressions.

I want this article to be an opening bracket for a list of items consisting of my steps through the course and obtaining the certificates.

What will you find here?

1. Review/notices – I’ll try to split the whole material into smaller parts (check below);
2. Supplementary materials – this entire content target is to help ME learn so that I may also use Pluralsight, Youtube, and other sources;
3. Additional comments. 

I’ll (probably) schedule it as:

• Week 1 – Prerequisites – networking
• Week 2 – Prerequisites – Web Applications
• Week 3 – Prerequisites – Penetration Testing
• Week 4 – Programming – All chapters (C++, Python, Command Line)
• Week 5+ – Penetration testing – will estimate later 🙂

Penetration testing consists of 7 steps: Information Gathering, Footprinting&Scanning, Vulnerability Assessment, Web Attacks, System Attacks, Network Attacks, and Next Steps.

Plans & Schedules

As you can see, I feel more confident about programming (all topics in one week) and less optimistic about networking or web applications – because I’m not very experienced in them.

So you can expect those entries to be expanded and developed with a lot of additional materials 🙂

By the 1st of April, I would like to take part and pass the exam 😉

I believe I can finish it all in 8 weeks, so please keep your fingers crossed and stay tuned!

If you would like to reach out to me, do not hesitate and go to contact me!
