A Comprehensive Guide to Obtaining the eWPTXv2 Certification

Hello everyone!

This article will include my review of the eWPTXv2 certification process and my recommendations based on my preparation process. The biggest reason why I am writing about this certification process is that there are not “enough” resources on the internet regarding the relevant certificate. Therefore, before entering the details, I would like to thank the people who guide me by writing a review for this certificate

Review

There are two ways you can obtain the eWPTXv2 certificate. That means either taking the certification exam without the training (only by getting the voucher code) or by taking the certification exam with the training. If you have a certain level of experience in the field of web application security and have actively pentested for web applications, I think you can pass the certification exam directly without training (only by getting a voucher code) and be successful.

However, if you do not have sufficient knowledge in this field, if you know partially in theory but have never applied it, or if you are not familiar with bypassing techniques, I recommend you prepare for the certification exam by taking the training, because the documents are both instructive and aim to prepare you directly for the certification exam.

In general, about the eWPTXv2 process, I think the documents are of high quality and efficient. My views on documents, the training laboratory, and exam laboratory are as follows: I think that the training documents are of good quality and offer sufficient content within the scope of the exam.

I think that the training documents are of good quality and offer sufficient content within the scope of the exam. Within the scope of training preparation, I think that there are good scenarios in the laboratory environment, but the lab environment is not stable.

I can say that the exam scenarios are successful, but the laboratory environment offered for the exam is not stable either. This can be frustrating during the exam.

You should adjust your psychology with this situation in mind.😁

The last information I will convey within the scope of the review is that, after applying for the certification process, you must take the exam within six months. If you have a certain level of background to enter this certification exam, I think that a month and a half will be enough for you to focus on only education issues, and to work in a planned and regular manner.

If you do not have enough experience, I recommend that you learn about the vulnerabilities in details based on the cause and effect relationship.

Roadmap

As I mentioned above, if you have sufficient experience in this field, you can take the exam by focusing on the topics within the scope of the training, taking your bypassing notes, and getting your voucher code.

If you do not have enough knowledge and experience in this field, I would definitely recommend you to take the training. you can complete your process in the most efficient way by reading the documents, getting support form the videos where necessary, and doing the labs. These will be enough to get the certificate. At the same time, if you do not have a general experience within the scope of web application penetration tests, it would be better to take eWPT training first.

Resources

There are resource where you can learn detailed information about eWPTXv2 (web application security extreme) and more lab environments with vulnerabilities. where you can reinforce by applying the techniques you have learned and cheat sheets prepared in this area. I hope you find them useful too.

There is one point i would like to point out, especially under this title: regardless of your experience range, I highly recommends Protswigger Academy among the above-mentioned resources in terms of the quality content it offers.

In our globalizing world, web application security is great importance for the security of both institutions and individuals. This importance is increasing day to day. there are many resources in this are where you can improve yourself. The resources i have chosen above will both support your process within the scope of this certificate training and contribute to your development independently of the certificate.

Exam Details

Brief information about the exam process😈

14 days exam, including 7 days of exam and a balance of 7days for reporting.

The exam offers a simulated penetration testing environment.

The exam aims to present a real-life scenario.

They expect you to find as many vulnerabilities as you can during the exam. However, first the minimum requirement that you must meet during the exam are specified. you should definitely complete these.

please learn a lot during the exam preparation stage as well as during the exam.

Tips and Tricks

Do not focus on the wrong points. Maybe you tried to exploit the vulnerability during the exam, but it didn’t work, and if you’re sure about the payload you sent, don’t forget to reset the lab environment. As I mentioned, the environment in which the exam scenario takes place is not stable, and one more thing is that you have to reset the lab four times a day “Don’t forget this”.🥺

Do not forget to take screenshots with proof of the vulnerabilities you detected during exam. when you forget any thing, don’t worry; try again. This is important for the report you will present at the end of the exam.

Make sure that the report you submit at the end of the exam is what is expected you. As a result, all the vulnerabilities you detect during the exam will be included in the report.

As a pentester, you will be perform a web application penetration test on a company whose scope is communicated to you.

As a result, clearer the report you present, the better it will be for you. This is also important in real life. After all, you don’t want to describe a great success as a failure, do you?. Then you can create the generic content in your exam report by using the resource given under the “useful Resource” above: vulnerability description, references, solution suggestions etc.

The time offered for this exam over 7 days is more than enough. so don’t stress about it. The exam scenario presented, as I mentioned above, is of high quality. Focusing on the training content and trying to identify the targets presented to you will move you forward in a short time.

🎯“Never give up” — That is my final words🥂

When you apply all these, you will have your eWPTXv2 certificate.🌟
