CPTS vs PNPT

🔍 CPTS vs PNPT: Complementary Certifications in Cybersecurity 🔍

In this video, I break down the key differences and similarities between the Certified Penetration Testing Specialist (CPTS) and the Practical Network Penetration Tester (PNPT) certifications. Rather than pitting them against each other, I’ll explain why these two certifications are more complementary than competitive, offering unique benefits to enhance your cybersecurity skill set.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
📚 The focus areas of CPTS and PNPT and how they complement each other.
💼 How combining these certifications can elevate your penetration testing career.
🛠️ Which certification to pursue based on your career goals in offensive security.

Both CPTS and PNPT provide valuable, hands-on experience, and when combined, they create a well-rounded foundation for any aspiring pentester or red teamer.

The HTB Academy API Attacks (thanks for the personal 10:30 shout-out) module ID is 268, if anyone is curious. I absolutely agree that it should have been included in the role path now that I've actually attempted the exam.

If links were allowed in the comments on this channel I'd definitely post the link to this module.

Just took the CRTP! Thinking of doing the CPTS and CBBH!! The PNPT was fun, but not sure if it's as extensive as the CPTS!!

The API module must be new since you took it. I loved the CBBH pathway, but that part module was lacking. It focuses more on SOAP. That was already a dated approach when I stopped web dev a decade ago.

I think the learning materials for CPTS are of higher quality. The PNPT videos are useful if you like videos, but they often get off topic and you won't use a third of the PNPT covered information in the exam itself, which I think is a poor assessment for the price.

Thanks for the input! I’m halfway through the beginner path on Try Hack Me. I wasn’t sure which to pick next PNPT (TCM Academy) or CPTS (HTB Academy)

[joshh]

So would you recommend to take the api attack module that is part of the CBBH for cpts? I also have access to TCM api course

Does CPTS have banned tools? Or can you use any tool you want.

I was afraid of CPTS and went for PNPT..lol (I am a beginner)
