Our Cracking The Perimeter (CTP) online security course combines a unique blend of penetration testing skills for one purpose: how to bypass security. The field of pentesting is constantly evolving. Both security awareness training and more secure technologies are on the rise. The bar required to “crack” the organizational perimeter is constantly being raised. Public exploits and weak passwords rarely do the job, which requires the attacker to have an expanded set of advanced hacking techniques in order to successfully complete a real-world pentest.
In the CTP course, we will examine several advanced attack vectors, and how to bypass security settings based on real world scenarios we have encountered from our pentest engagements. In addition, we will cover some “special features” of Kali Linux designed to save you time and effort.
Topics such as cross-site scripting, directory traversal, anti-virus avoidance, how to manually obfuscate shellcode, and much more will be covered in a high-level of detail. Students will learn how to combine imaginative thinking and ethical hacking techniques with their own customized attack vectors to bypass security of their targeted systems. Cracking The Perimeter is among the most challenging ethical hacking and pentesting courses of its type.

How Does the Online Training Work?
Register & Download
We begin a new CTP course every Sunday with seats filling up rapidly, so we recommend that students begin their registration at least 10 days prior to their desired start date. The VPN lab access begins on your course start date and is a continuous block of time.
The online pentesting labs are accessed via a VPN connection so all students must have a high-speed Internet connection. In order to ensure a quality lab experience, you will be required to conduct a VPN connectivity test prior to making payment.
On your assigned course start date, you’ll be given access to download all your course materials, including the 3.5-hour Offensive Security CTP course video series in HTML/Flash format and the 145-page Cracking The Perimeter Lab Guide. You will also receive instructions on how to connect to our virtual pentesting labs.
Connect to the Offsec Labs
When your course begins, you are provided with VPN access to our virtual penetration testing labs and are given access to various dedicated virtual machines that you will use to complete various exercise scenarios and practice concepts from the CTP course.
As you progress through the CTP course materials, you will practice the tools and techniques directly on various targets in our online labs. Our private online CTP labs contain custom-built systems with all of the required software installed to complete the course.
Successfully completing all of the CTP exercises requires a great deal of research, tenacity, and the will to Try Harder. However, you are not on your own; our student administrators are readily available to provide you with live support and the occasional nudge to help push you in the right direction when you’re out of options.
The OSCE Certification
The Offensive Security Certified Expert (OSCE) is the pentest certification for our Cracking the Perimeter course. The OSCE Certification Exam challenges you to prove you have an advanced understanding of identifying weaknesses and exploiting them.
Once you have completed the course ware and practiced your skills in our labs, you’re ready to take on the intense 48-hour OSCE Certification Exam – a real-world, hands-on penetration test that takes place in our isolated VPN exam network.
You will have 90 days from the end of your lab time to schedule and take this most unique and challenging of ethical hacking certification exams. The OSCE Certification Exam is very challenging and not for the faint-of-heart, requiring knowledge of advanced attack vectors. However, earning the OSCE Certification is incredibly rewarding and proves to yourself and others that you have validated, advanced penetration testing skills.
