Certified Red Team Professional (CRTP) Review and Preparation Tips
1 min read
Summary
The CRTP exam from Altered Security is designed to test the skills of red team professionals.
This certification is a challenge and preparation is key.
The exam is focused on weaponising misconfigurations in an Active Directory environment.
Therefore, thorough enumeration of the target is crucial for a viable attack path.
As there are no tools provided on the attacker machine, candidates must use their own and know how to transfer them between Windows machines.
Candidates should be proficient in on-the-spot research and troubleshooting to succeed.
Restarting machines can often help in cases of unresponsive systems, and carefully taking screenshots of all steps is recommended both for record-keeping and for the post-exam report.
