CRTP: My Experience

Wed, 09 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Hey everyone,

I’m really happy to share that I’ve cleared the CRTP (Certified Red Team Professional) exam on my first attempt! This was a whole new area for me—no prior Active Directory (AD) pentesting experience, and still, I managed to get through it. So if you’re someone wondering whether this cert is possible without an AD background—yes, it is. Let me walk you through how I did it.

My Background Before CRTP

Before jumping into CRTP, my only real exposure to pentesting was TryHackMe rooms and clearing the eJPT exam. To be honest, I had never done any complete AD-based CTFs before. CRTP was the first time I was diving into the world of Windows domains and enterprise-style networks.

Hey everyone,

I’m super excited to share that I’ve passed the eJPT exam with a score of 94% in my first attempt. I managed to finish it in 6 hours, and I’ve got some handy tips and personal insights that might help those of you gearing up for the same challenge.

A Little Bit About Me

Before jumping into the specifics, let me give you a bit of background. I’ve been a software developer for three years, but I had zero experience in penetration testing before this. However, I decided to give it a shot and prepped for about two months. This goes to show that anyone can master this with the right focus and dedication.
