I agree with you. It’s not really a course if it’s not really teaching you. Otherwise like you say it’s better to use other resources to teach yourself

[@lahiruwr]

Thanks a lot. Very informative. What are the labs you recommend before ewptxv2 exam ? and INE doesnt allow lab access for Monthly subscription right ? SUBSCRIBED.

[@ahmedismail3161]

Please tell me what did you add for me in this video…?!

[@bazlar8210]

Have you tried the OSWE course? Just wondering if this is a good web application course. To learn and become a better web app tester.

[@JSONSEC]

Haven't done it personally no, but have a look at the syllabus on the offsec website. I'd recommend starting with the port swigger academy, it pretty much covers everything you need to know and it's free

[@kenseilabs]

I don't want to waste my time with all the slides, what are specific topics that I need to study to pass the examn?

[@JSONSEC]

Reading the slides (despite how bad some are) really demonstrates the difference between someone who learns just for certs compared to someone who understands the underlying technology and is a better practitioner. Take your time, don't rush. Be a learning sponge :)

[@JohnJohnson-ch6xq]

Which is the best Web app penetration testing certication? Apart from GIAC

[@JSONSEC]

The best one is the one that you learn the most from. It's a bit dry by Burp academy will teach you everything you need to know, for free, but has a pretty tough exam

[@lIlIllll1]

Have you taken the burpsuite practitioner certification? What do you think about that?

[@JSONSEC]

Don't see a need for it to be honest, but it's demonstrated skill so it wont hurt

[@JS-pf4ed]

@@JSONSEC which one do you think is harder? Ewptxv2 vs burp suite certified practitioner? Thx.

I would rather go with eWPT and then CRTP. But then again, I dont like certs and oppose to the idea that certs can "evaluate" the potential or skills. I've escaped sandboxes and done rce's but I cant stand the boring cert study path. That's what I hated about school systems back in the day and ended by doing practical hacking. This is insane that people dont understand that learning by practically breaking commercial stuff is a rush like no certs offer us. It's a drug of different kind when we figure out by reading blogs and taking a "longer" path. In the end, we end up knowing much more than some junkyard whitejack with OSCP, CRPT, WTPX, CPPTX etc etc hundred certs in their name. Waste of $ and time imho. Just fudging hack.

[@JSONSEC]

I agree that the industry values Certs far more than experience and idle 'messing about'. But on the other side of the argument, I certainly learned a lot prepping for my certs. The downside I thought was that I had so many creative ideas that 'fell outside the scope' of the cert, which limits and discourages experimenting. Especially when you're grinding 100+ machines to tackle OSCP

I do agree with this , I am a pentester I dnt have certs and I am having fun doing grey box web and mobile Pentest and learning and applying techniques i read from medium articles. It’s fucking fun man!!!!! No oscp or other certs at all… zero!!! But yea I might get some Elearn certs for fun when I have the time. That’s why I am here.
