How To Become An Ethical Hacker in 2024 - [Detailed Guide]

In this video, I share a detailed roadmap I'd recommend for those who want to become pentesters/ethical hackers in 2024.

This comes from my experience as an actual pentester - not a silly influencer looking for views.

None of the resources are sponsored; I am not sharing affiliate links, and I do not get any kickbacks from these resources. Instead, I am sharing them because I genuinely believe they are the best way you can become a pentester.

I truly believe PNPT is a harder exam than the OSCP. Its just the PNPT isn't fully recognized but its been getting popular pretty fast lately

One more thing to add: Volunteer at cybersecurity conventions!
You get to go for free, and is a GREAT way to network. CISOs and Senior Pentesters are happy to chat with you, and answer any questions you have. Plus they know who is hiring.

If you're shooting for a TCM certification, they offer a 20% discount off exams+training for current/former military, current students, educators and first responders. It does not apply to the Academy subscription though.

Thanks, Tyler, I watched other YouTubers for the Ethical Hacking roadmap but it usually takes an hour to digest. Your roadmap is exceptional and get to the point without wasting time!

Perfect! Thanks for the video 💪🏾 I’m doing HTB Academy as I go though my bootcamp, finished THM jr pentester last year 😁

[YasAli]

Thank you Tyler. Appreciate the quick and precise roadmap.

I'm 4th!! I'm currently studying cpts

[Alex-viiz]

Thx for the video Tyler, just one question. My plan is:

1.THM paths (jr pentester, offensive pentesting)
2.HTB pentester path and CPTS cert
3.OSCP course and cert

I am already 50% into jr pentester path on THM, should I scrap that and switch to TCM PEH course instead ?

[singhgagandeep]

I would go for ejpt then PNTP 3 months for HTB and then OSCP

[Bwp]

I did TCM then thm. Landed a pentester role in about 6 months. Oh and bhis webinar’s thrown in when the offered free one.

[Ricocase]

Great video! After htb, are u saying 3m of oscp is also necessary to take the test (or just to save $)? I thought one could register for oscp immediately after htb training.

[Thiccolo]

Is eJPT a good replacement for PEH? I got a discount code to get the exam a $100 off. Otherwise my personal roadmap looks almost the same. Also would you recommend getting the CPTS or just doing the path and gunning for the OSCP as fast as possible

[Zachsnotboard]

Looking to get my oscp, and am currently an info sec analyst. my only concern about going for pen test role is, will I be able to land a fully remote job ?

[bothamediagroup]

Morning Tyler did you have any prior experiance in CS or IT. I want to change industries from Marketing to CS and I have played with some tools in Kali but I want to really get into this and become either a Red Team or Blue Team member.

[raeesfataar]

Hey Tyler, what's your view on the Ethical Hacking cert from EC Council?

[jsmith]

If you want a guarantee, I think you need to get all the way through the HTB CWEE. You need to be able to do white box hacking.
