CPTS is absolute gold. From beginner to over OSCP level in just one cert around 300$. If you are a student, it's even cheaper and gives you access to dozens of practice machines. HTB is just crazy

@@UnixGuy thank you for you reply, I really appreciate your determination towards helping all. I was going through some review and blogs, most of them mention CPTS being good and harder than OSCP. My concern is can i handle it right after eJPT?(I passed eJPT only through INE course no supplementary training on htb or thm) and My cert line up until now is Google cyber security cert->eJPT->(can I go directly CPTS?) I'm willing to work hard, only doubt is can i start it with knowledge i have in eJPT or should i accquire additional knowledge before going CPTS.....Thanks in Advance....

[@UnixGuy]

that’s why I gave you a sequence to follow in the video - follow it without skipping and without changing and you’ll be fine. It’s a lot better than coming up with your own sequence :)

[@skeledin5858]

What about THM vs HTB vs TCM? I have a hard time retaining information by reading only so HTB is really difficult

best to do things in the order they appeared in the video. those are all good platforms. you’ll retain things via doing the labs

[@maruecolac]

Thank you so much! I just want to share that TCM just released their new PJSA. I am leaning more towards TCM than INE because they’re lifetime certs (doesn’t expire) do you think the correct order to do would be PJSA then PJPT then PNPT? I appreciate your feedback :))

[@UnixGuy]

Both TCM and INE are great, dont worry about renewing certs once they expire. you can do ejpt to ecppt, or pjtp and pntp. u dont meed pjsa also the recommendations i have in the vidoes tryhack -> hackthebox will get you there a lot faster, you can do it in many ways

@UnixGuy these are not certifications, and if you are like me from small tcn county no way to get job

[@UnixGuy]

yeah smaller market will limit your choices but from what you say then best not to do anything and just give up and do something else because no one ever gets any job?

[@VideoJunkee]

Man, he must REALLY hate SANS courses. Lol

[@UnixGuy]

[@sadasow2670]

@@UnixGuy thank s for confirming

[@akashsarkar9579]

I recently graduated from Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering, and 1 week ago I took admission in Master of Technology in Cyber Forensics and Information Security. Now the main point is that my college has a partnership with the EC Council. So they can provide me the CEH certification exam voucher at a price of Rs. 13000 (approx. $155). So my question is, should I purchase the voucher now or should I practice the TryHackMe courses first? I am really novice in the cyber security field.

[@UnixGuy]

in the video I talked about CEH… stick to whats in the video

[@akashsarkar9579]

@@UnixGuyokay sir. Thank you.

[@omaramr7969]

Would you take Tcm-security's PNPT or CPTS first? After finish the tryhackme Red Team Paths

[@UnixGuy]

CPTS is extremely comprehensive as it is, I would do it after tryhackme and i would skip PNPT in this case :)
