eJPT - eLearn Security Junior Penetration Tester - Course and Exam Review

[@Giperium]

Whoa, thanks, I didn't think that the review would lead to such a cool preparatory course. Immensely grateful!

[@spoolyanddanalixdnb]

Cool that the starter-pass is still valid. Thanks man

[@DavidAlvesWeb]

awesome video! I got my eJPT last week and loved the experience! 😊

[@WilsonSecurityGroup]

Congrats!

[@syedshirazi95]

thanks for the video, i just started the the cyber mentor's practical ethical hacking course on udemy, great great course, after that i'll go for the ccna and then pass the ejpt 😎

[@all3ssaf]

Finally someone make it clear thank you so much

[@WilsonSecurityGroup]

Thanks for the positive feedback!

[@xDefq0n1x]

Hi, thank you for explaining, I have 1 question: I registered as free user, so as I understand , the 3 courses (Penetration testing student, Penetration Testing: Preliminary Skills & Programming,Penetration Testing Basics) is enough to pass eJPT? My main goal is to learn basics, so the goal is to have strong foundation so I know what to google, read (hacking books),... and minimize the need for videos, and maximize the knowledge gain from google, as a real hackers do :)

[@WilsonSecurityGroup]

I think those three tracks are all it will really require to pass eJPT. There are other valuable resources out there like TryHackMe that can give you some other challenges, and also the course Practical Ethical Hacking by The Cyber Mentor on Udemy can be a great supplement to the eJPT material.

[@eduardomacedo6040]

This was really helpfull. Thank you very much!

[@WilsonSecurityGroup]

thanks!

[@DavidAlvesWeb]

What a great review! Thank you!

[@WilsonSecurityGroup]

Thank you!

[@bw-rx1qd]

This was really informative!! Thanks.

[@MastermindRell]

I'm curious. What's your background i.t wise and experience wise. What other certs you have and how do they compare. I have sec + and aws ccp. Thinking about grabbing this cause getting a cyber job challenging rn.

[@WilsonSecurityGroup]

I have about 4 years of Cyber Security on-the-job experience. Also have the CEH, CHFI, CISSP, and Sec+, and the eCCPT. eJPT is pretty good for an overall over view of pentesting and the best poaret is that it is practical. I would say it is the same level of difficulty as Security+.

[@SkaterOrnez]

Im thinking of studyibg by looking at the solutions and then redoing them without it. Think it'll go good?

[@WilsonSecurityGroup]

Yes that is a great idea! I wouldn't take the solutions too seriously or as something you shouldn't look at. They are there for your learning purpose and there is no problem with reading along with it

[@CYBIRD0fficial]

Can you please tell about one demo question....

[@WilsonSecurityGroup]

It's similar to things like "what is this user's password" or "how many hosts are alive in this network". Questions that can only be answered by exploring the environment.

[@CYBIRD0fficial]

@@WilsonSecurityGroup thanks bro

[@audiemolinger6450]

Hello where can we get an 'actual TRAINING course' for eJPT?

[@WilsonSecurityGroup]

Not sure what you mean. But INE has all of the official training material on their website: ine.com/. Otherwise I can recommend courses such as TCM Security Practical Ethical Hacking and TryHackMe to supplement in preparation for the eJPT.

[@audiemolinger6450]

@@WilsonSecurityGroup Ok, thanks, Audie.

[@broderalias]

Thank yuo! Good stuff

[@ko-Daegu]

is the ine course enough to pass(let's say get 100)? also if you have done any HTB boxes could you list them

[@WilsonSecurityGroup]

Yes the INE material is enough to pass. I'm not very familiar with HTB these days as I mostly use TryHackMe. But Blue and Grandpa/Grandma would be good basic practice boxes.

[@WilsonSecurityGroup]

In terms of getting 100% i have heard its not too hard, you need to know basic exploits.

[@AbdulSalam-qd1pm]

Boot2Root Is the lab that ELS offers about routing enough to know for v the exam? Also how much experience did you have prior. I’m a novice. Taking it in the 30th. Please advise.

[@WilsonSecurityGroup]

Yes the routing labs in the eJPT is good enough. Just make sure that you review those labs thoroughly.

[@theologos3705]

Is INE good to start without any knowledge?Also can you explain me the certifications?

[@WilsonSecurityGroup]

It will be fine to start without any knowledge, but I would also recommend doing something like over the wire to learn some basic Linux.

[@WilsonSecurityGroup]

This stuff might change over time so I would go to elearnsecurity.com to learn more about the various certification options.

[@ip9153]

thanks for sharing...how long do you reckon for a non programming and non networking background to learn and pass this certificate if I were to spend about 20 a week....I have some it background but beginners .. many thanks

[@WilsonSecurityGroup]

I would recommend any where from 2 to 3 months. If you are putting in about 20 hrs a week, maybe even 1 to 2 months! The lessons are pretty straight forward as well as the labs so putting in those types of hours should fly pretty easily.

[@ip9153]

@@WilsonSecurityGroup thanks heaps. Amazing for some one willing to share. Best regards

[@dtitan1993]

so those 3 classes for eJPT is the same courses as if I paid $2000? is anything missing from the starter pass for the eJPT?

[@WilsonSecurityGroup]

Everything you will need for eJPT is included in the Starter Pass (except for the $200 exam voucher)

[@robertoemmanuelgahol6020]

Hi. What type of plan should i choose? Monthly yearly or premium?

[@WilsonSecurityGroup]

Yes the have significantly changed the plans now. If you are planning on getting more than the eJPT, I recommend the premium. If you just want to get eJPT to try it out you can do monthly OR the starter pass and get great value. The premium has labs for all the courses, the other options only have labs for eJPT. If you looking specifically for networking training I would recommend whichever option is best for you (monthly vs yearly)

[@robertoemmanuelgahol6020]

I cAnnot do certs multiple times in a year so im guessing the monthly will do. When i take the ejpt lesson, does it include practice lab exercises aswell?

[@WilsonSecurityGroup]

@@robertoemmanuelgahol6020 if you want just eJPT use the INE Starter Pass. It is free, and all the labs are included.

[@robertoemmanuelgahol6020]

Can i just use starter pass every time i want to take on course at a time?

[@WilsonSecurityGroup]

@@robertoemmanuelgahol6020 the starter pass only works for ejpt and some of the networking and data science courses

Does the free pass include all the Labs required for eJPT?

Yes it does

@@WilsonSecurityGroup what is the change in the new exam format? And what areas I should focus on for the new exam? I am planning to start in Mid September for prep. Pls advise 🙏.

[@WilsonSecurityGroup]

@@oceanblue1017 the new exam has more questions - 35 total. I have not taken it or looked over the new material yet but there is alot more material in general. I have heard the material is overwhelming in terms of what you need to know, I'm sure the exam is still hands on in the exam environment. Sorry I can't speak to all points.

[@xinwang4485]

Dear Wilson, I had bought my voucher and it has been shown up on my elearn user system(But I can only see the new info about my ejpt exam showing up on the "exam" menu bar, other bars are both empty, like Virtualbox bar or course bar, is it normal?). The most important is that I saw there is only a "begin" button, but where can I download the VPN for testing before the exam?

[@WilsonSecurityGroup]

This is normal. The "course" material is on the INE website. The VPN file will not generate until you start the exam by clicking the Begin button

Hi how to get free course content ejpt right now ? I see everything is diffrence.

[@ashishjha4391]

I have a doubt with this Strater pass for how long will i be able to access the course content ?? Is there any time bound in the Strater pass??

[@WilsonSecurityGroup]

Great question! From my understanding the Starter Pass does not expire. The Starter Pass also does not rollover into the more expensive plans automatically (for example services like Netflix, Hulu, etc rollover to a paid plan after 30 days of free trial). So you can use the Starter Pass for as long as you want and if you choose, never move to the paid model.

[@ashishjha4391]

@@WilsonSecurityGroup Thanks for the help .

[@fabriciogaldino8049]

Do you know how much time I've to book the exam?

[@WilsonSecurityGroup]

According to the website, from time of purchase, the voucher is good for 6 months (180 days). But I'm also sure eLearnSecurity would probably help you out if you have an expired voucher.

[@fabriciogaldino8049]

​@@WilsonSecurityGroup Thank you for your reply! I'm already studying with the courses and some TryHackMe machines. I'm confident to pass this exam

[@ridinbal]

does one get certification after completing this course? like certification of completion?

[@WilsonSecurityGroup]

You have to pay extra for the certification exam (currently $200). The course content itself does not give you any type of certification

[@ridinbal]

@@WilsonSecurityGroup Oh I see, will we get hardcopy of the certificate once finishing the exam?

[@WilsonSecurityGroup]

@@ridinbal the certificate is digital but you can print it. I'm not sure if they would send a physical copy if you request it.

[@ridinbal]

@@WilsonSecurityGroup alright, thanks for the clarification

[@ridinbal]

Does this certificate expire? and also is the ine course account and elearn security account the same? because I created INE account and gave a different name to it but I dont want that name to be printed on my certificate but I havent created elearn security account yet so will my certificate have name from elearn security account or ine account?

[@WilsonSecurityGroup]

The certifications don't expire. I believe the INE and eLearnSecurity accounts are completely separate. You will need to purchase the certification voucher and create a new account on eLearnSecurity's website.

[@ridinbal]

@@WilsonSecurityGroup Thanks a lot for clarifying my doubt

[@rohankshetrimayum1049]

Do you think I can pass this exam if I study for one year

That is probably too much time. Id say somewhere between 1 to 3 months should be good for someone with no experience.

@@WilsonSecurityGroup really wow so I can get a ejpt certification within 6 months ...right ???....by the way sir can I look for jobs after I get my ejpt certification

[@WilsonSecurityGroup]

@@rohankshetrimayum1049 if you take a year to learn the material by the time you finish you will have forgotten a lot of the material and commands. You need to establish a rhythm of using the tools and methodology. Nothing is stopping you for searching for jobs now! eJPT is not that difficult, it is becoming more recognized for entry level positions, but it is not as well known as other cybersecurity certifications like the Security+. The tools and methodology you learn in the eJPT can be helpful for answering interview questions.

@@WilsonSecurityGroup thnks sir 🙏🙏😍😍....after holding like two or more certification...where can I search for jobs in which platform

[@WilsonSecurityGroup]

@@rohankshetrimayum1049 personally I like to use LinkedIn because you can use it to search for the organization's structure and employees, etc. I recommend gathering some information about the company so that you can answer questions like "who are the company's primary customers?" "What are some of their unique cybersecurity challenges or opportunities for growth?" "What are the skills that current employees on LinkedIn have?"
