What are your thoughts on CompTIA Pentest+? I want to improve my offensive skills so I can improve my defense skills, but I’m not sure which way to go.

CEH and Pentest+ are the only two offsec certs that I’m familiar with.

That’s a really good idea; increasing your offensive skills to increase your defensive skills. That’s exactly what I did and that’s exactly how I got into cyber security.

I wouldn’t really recommend getting CEH to be honest. For me, I just studied OSCP, I didn’t actually get the certification. I just studied and that was kind of enough to help me break into security.

But if you really want to get a certification, I might look at The Cyber Mentor’s (TCM Security’s) PNPT.

As far as practical skills go, I would say it’s pretty good to be honest. It’s not really recognized by HR at least at the level of OSCP, but I would definitely check it out.

If you really want to get that nice HR offsec cert, I would go for OSCP, but bear in mind that it’s quite difficult and it will be quite the marathon to get.

But yeah! Great question, and good luck!

OSCP - 3068 (Very practical, very good for HR)
PNPT - 15 (Very Practical, not good for HR)
CEH - 3952 (Not practical, good for HR)
Pentest+ - 27 (Sorta practical, not good for HR)

Okay I love that you give a warning to pause so I don’t have to watch the short again a lot of people just flash info on the screen so you have to watch it again

[antalya]

This actually the best short answer I have seen to this question

[brken_]

certifications differ country wise, so please do check what is the best cert HR's are hiring for, here in India, CEH is considered best by HR's for begineers and pays high in terms of salary

[leonardonnes]

Great short, helped me a lot saving me time from watching a lot of videos to just get a simple answer to a question.

You could fill a warehouse with the things HR can’t recognize

[SydSkids]

Pentest+ is a great cert if you want to learn but it might not make you stand out to HR.

[alechernandez]

PenTest+ is $50 right now if you take the beta before Aug 9th or so. Going to study up and check it out. Can’t beat that price

Certifications don't teach you skills. They validate skills (in theory). If you want to actually learn red team skills, use HTB and THM

In the last chart, why is good for HR, CEH and OSCP

[Galvanicjaguar]

Everybody says that CEH it's very bad and very expensive but why does HR cares a lot about that certificate?
