HTB Certified Active Directory Pentesting Expert

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 both internal and external 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 such as ADCS, 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.
