01Which Path

APT·AI, CPENT or PenTest+?

We teach all three, so we have no reason to talk one of them up.

Avigdor · APT·AI

Advanced Pentest with AI

Our own programme, not a single vendor's exam course. Twelve modules run the engagement end to end, AI is applied in every phase, and you finish with a full enterprise pentest and a client-ready report.

Best for CEH graduates and analysts who want elite offensive skill and a portfolio, not just a certificate.

EC-Council · CPENT

CPENT

EC-Council's advanced penetration testing credential, assessed in a live range rather than by multiple choice. Demanding, well recognised in India, and the exam APT·AI's lab work maps most directly onto.

Best for testers who want a hard, practical credential on an EC-Council path after CEH.

CompTIA · PT0-003

CompTIA PenTest+

Vendor-neutral, with hands-on performance-based questions. 13% of the exam is scoping and reporting — it proves you can run the whole engagement, not just the attacks.

Best for analysts and IT professionals moving into VAPT or consulting.

These are not alternatives to each other. APT·AI is the training; CPENT and PenTest+ are credentials it prepares you for, alongside eJPT and Security+. If you have not yet done the fundamentals, CEH comes first — we will say so on the demo call rather than sell you the wrong course.

03At a Glance

Built for the job, not just the exam

  • The whole engagement, in orderScope, OSINT, web and API, evasion, privilege escalation, Active Directory, pivoting, binary exploitation, report. Most courses stop at isolated exploits.
  • AI in every phase, not a bolt-on moduleRecon triage, exploit-path reasoning, payload and WAF-bypass generation, and report drafting — the force-multiplier workflow CPENT AI now expects.
  • Four certifications from one programmeCPENT AI, CompTIA PenTest+, eJPT and Security+. You choose which to sit and when; the exams are booked separately with each body.
  • Live targets, not simulationsYou exploit real Linux and Windows hosts, break into an Active Directory forest, pivot across segmented networks and reverse-engineer binaries.
  • Reporting taught as a skillA dedicated module plus a capstone deliverable. A portfolio of professional reports is what separates a hobbyist from a hired tester.
  • Mentor-led, with recordingsInstructor-led live classes in all three delivery modes, dedicated lab time, and session recordings for enrolled students.

04The Syllabus

Twelve modules, taught in engagement order

Scope it, map it, break it, move through it — then write it up. Every module carries what AI does in that phase.

  • Foundations & Scoping
  • Recon & OSINT
  • Web & API
  • Evasion & Privesc
  • AD & Pivoting
  • Reversing & Report
01Theory

Penetration Testing & Methodologies

Pentest types and phases, and the PTES, OWASP and OSSTMM methodologies that structure a professional engagement.

Lab · Map a brief to a methodologyAIWhere AI fits each stage of the standard workflow — and where it does not belong.
02Theory

Scoping & Engagement

Scoping, rules of engagement and the legal boundaries you work inside — the paperwork that separates a penetration test from a crime.

Lab · Write an RoE documentAIDrafting scope and engagement letters, then reviewing every clause yourself.
03Hands-on

Open Source Intelligence (OSINT)

Passive and active reconnaissance, subdomain and asset discovery, and building an accurate picture of the real attack surface.

Lab · Map an external surfaceAITriaging bulk recon output to rank the handful of targets worth attacking.
04Hands-on

Web Application Penetration Testing

OWASP Top 10 in practice — SQL injection, XSS, SSRF — driven through professional Burp Suite workflows, not point-and-click scanners.

Lab · Chain three web findingsAIGenerating and tuning payloads, and iterating WAF bypasses you then verify by hand.
05Hands-on

API & JWT Penetration Testing

REST and GraphQL abuse, broken authentication and authorisation, and JWT attacks — the layer most web courses skip and most real applications expose.

Lab · Break an authorisation modelAIParsing large API specifications to surface undocumented and hidden endpoints.
06Hands-on

Perimeter Defence Evasion

Getting past firewalls, IDS/IPS, WAFs and AV/EDR in an authorised test — because a finding you cannot reach is a finding you cannot report.

Lab · Bypass a detection stackAIObfuscation and evasion payload crafting, validated against real detection.
07Hands-on

Linux Exploitation & Privesc

Service exploitation, kernel exploits and misconfiguration-based escalation on live Linux targets, from initial foothold to root.

Lab · Foothold to rootAIReasoning over enumeration output to plan an escalation path instead of guessing.
08Hands-on

Windows Exploitation & Privesc

The Windows attack surface, token manipulation and service abuse — the escalation techniques that matter in a corporate estate.

Lab · User to SYSTEMAIInterpreting privesc enumeration and proposing the next concrete step.
09Hands-on

Active Directory Penetration Testing

Kerberoasting, Pass-the-Hash, Golden Ticket and BloodHound path analysis, chained into a full domain compromise on a real lab forest.

Lab · DMZ to domain adminAIReading BloodHound paths to find the shortest route to Domain Admin.
10Hands-on

Lateral Movement & Pivoting

Multi-hop pivoting, tunnelling and proxychains through segmented networks toward the high-value targets that are never on the perimeter.

Lab · Pivot three segmentsAIMapping reachable segments from collected routing and host data.
11Hands-on

Reversing, Fuzzing & Binary Exploitation

Static and dynamic analysis in Ghidra, fuzzing for crashes, and exploiting memory-corruption bugs — buffer overflows and beyond.

Lab · Fuzz and exploit a binaryAISummarising decompiled output and flagging where a crash is likely exploitable.
12Hands-on

Report Writing

Turning raw exploits into client-ready findings: severity, business impact, evidence and remediation a client can act on.

Lab · Write & defend a reportAIDrafting the finding — you validate the evidence and own every word that ships.

Ten of the twelve modules are fully hands-on. Supervised lab time and the capstone sit on top of class hours, bringing the programme to 60+ hours. Exam codes, fees and formats are set by EC-Council, CompTIA and INE, and can change — confirm on the certifying body's own site before booking an exam.

05The Deliverable

You leave with a report, not just a certificate

Clients do not buy the scan. They buy the document that tells them what it means and what to do. The capstone produces yours.

  • A full enterprise engagementWeb, API, Windows, Active Directory and network layers chained into one breach narrative — not nine disconnected findings.
  • Business impact, not just severityWhat the flaw lets an attacker reach, and what that would cost. The sentence that gets a finding fixed.
  • Evidence a client can reproduceRequests, responses, screenshots and proof-of-concept — enough for their engineers to confirm it themselves.
  • AI drafts it, you own itYou learn to make AI do the first pass and then validate every claim. The judgement stays yours — that is the whole point.
  • A portfolio artefactSomething to hand an interviewer when they ask you to walk them through an engagement you have run.
06Outcomes

Six things you'll be able to do

Not describe — do, in a lab, and talk through in an interview.

Scope a full engagement

Turn a vague client ask into a bounded, lawful scope both sides have signed.

Map an attack surface fast

Run recon at scale and use AI to rank what is actually worth attacking.

Break web and API layers

Exploit OWASP Top 10, broken authorisation and JWT flaws through Burp, not a scanner.

Own a Windows domain

Escalate on a host, move laterally, and chain a path from DMZ to Domain Admin.

Reverse and exploit a binary

Analyse in Ghidra, fuzz for a crash, and turn memory corruption into code execution.

Use AI and defend how

Answer "do you use AI in your workflow?" with specifics, and say where you would not trust it.

08Your Credentials

Four tracks, one programme

APT·AI is the training. These are the credentials it prepares you for — sit the ones your target employers actually name.

  • Mapped, not mergedEach module states which certification spine it serves, so nothing is taught twice and nothing is missed.
  • Practical exams get practical prepCPENT and eJPT are assessed in a range. The 80% lab share exists for exactly that reason.
  • Current, not retiredPenTest+ content follows PT0-003; PT0-002 retired on 17 June 2025. A course still teaching its domain list is teaching a dead exam.
  • Sit them when you are readyNo pressure to book all four. Most students sit one or two; we help you pick based on the roles you are targeting.
  • We are a training providerAvigdor prepares you; the exams are administered by EC-Council, CompTIA and INE, and are not included in the course fee.

Details are set by the certifying bodies and can change — confirm on EC-Council's CPENT page and CompTIA's official PenTest+ page.

10FAQ

Questions before you book

The questions we are actually asked, answered directly.

What is the Advanced Penetration Testing with AI (APT·AI) course?

APT·AI is Avigdor CyberTech's advanced offensive-security programme: 12 modules and 60+ hours covering the full enterprise attack lifecycle, from scoping and OSINT through web, API, Active Directory and binary exploitation to a client-ready report. AI is applied in every phase. It is aligned to CPENT AI, CompTIA PenTest+, eJPT and CompTIA Security+.

How is APT·AI different from a CPENT course?

CPENT is EC-Council's certification; APT·AI is the training that prepares you for it and for three others. Rather than teaching one vendor's exam blueprint, the programme teaches the engagement itself. You can sit CPENT after finishing, and the capstone report is preparation an exam-only course cannot give you.

What are the course fees at Avigdor CyberTech?

Fees are shared personally on the demo call, so the number quoted matches the batch, delivery mode and any exam voucher you actually choose. EMI options are available. Call +91 98805 37423 or book a free demo class and you will have the exact figure the same day.

How long is the course, and what are the batch timings?

60+ hours in total — 40 hours of core instruction across the 12 modules, plus 20+ hours of supervised lab time and the capstone engagement. Batches start monthly with weekday and weekend options, delivered online, offline in Bengaluru, or hybrid.

Do I need a technical background to take this course?

Yes, for this one. APT·AI is an advanced programme built for CEH graduates, SOC analysts and IT professionals comfortable with Linux and Windows command lines and networking basics. Complete beginners are better served starting with CEH — we will say so honestly on the demo call rather than sell you the wrong course.

Which certifications does this course prepare me for?

Four: EC-Council CPENT including the CPENT AI revision, CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-003), INE/eLearnSecurity eJPT, and CompTIA Security+. The exams are booked and sat separately with each certifying body; the programme is the preparation, not the exam.

Is an exam voucher included?

Vouchers are an optional add-on rather than part of the base fee, because the programme maps to four certifications from three different bodies and most students sit only one or two. Tell us which exam you are targeting and we will quote that voucher specifically.

How much of the course is hands-on?

Eighty percent. Ten of the twelve modules are fully practical — you exploit live Linux and Windows targets, break into an Active Directory forest, pivot across segmented networks and reverse-engineer binaries. The two theory modules cover methodology and scoping, which are engagement skills rather than lab skills.

What does "AI-augmented" actually mean here?

Four concrete things: AI triaging recon data so you attack the right targets, AI reasoning over enumeration output to plan an escalation path, AI generating and tuning payloads and WAF bypasses, and AI drafting report findings that you validate. You learn each tool manually first — the judgement and the validation always stay with you.

Which tools will I actually use?

Across six categories: recon and OSINT (Nmap, Amass, theHarvester, Shodan, Subfinder), web and API (Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, ffuf, sqlmap, Postman), exploitation (Metasploit, searchsploit, custom payloads), AD and post-exploitation (BloodHound, Impacket, Mimikatz, CrackMapExec, proxychains), reversing (Ghidra, GDB, fuzzing tools), and AI copilots including PentestGPT and AI-augmented recon pipelines.

Do you provide placement assistance?

Yes — assistance, described honestly. Resume and portfolio review built around your capstone report, technical mock interviews with a practitioner, and introductions to our hiring-partner network. We prepare you and make introductions; we do not guarantee an offer.

Do you offer a free demo class?

Yes. One live session at no cost and no obligation, so you can see the trainer, the lab range and the AI workflow before deciding. Book it from the form on this page or call +91 98805 37423.

What job opportunities open up after this course?

Penetration tester, web application pentester, network pentester, red team operator, vulnerability assessment analyst, security consultant, exploit or malware analyst, and independent bug bounty hunting. Entry-level offensive roles in India commonly start in the ₹4–8 LPA band, rising with experience and a strong portfolio.

Is this available outside Bengaluru?

Yes. The programme runs live online across India, with instructor-led classes rather than recorded content. The classroom option is at our Munnekollal centre in Bengaluru, and hybrid students mix the two. The syllabus, labs and capstone are identical in all three.
