EC Council Advanced Penetration Testing Course (APT)
Exam Reference: EC-APT
Duration: 3 Days
Having won the EC-Council Circle of Excellence Award as an Accredited Training Partner, we lead our cyber-security course offerings with the EC-Council training family of certifications.
Target Audience
The Advanced Penetration Testing course from EC-Council is built on the backbone of the Advanced Penetration Testing Cyber Range (ECCAPT) and this was designed by experts who each have more than 25 years of professional security testing across the globe.
The program comes with multiple ranges designed to hone a specific set of real-life pen testing skills. The ECCAPT contains more than 180 machines with more than 250 GB RAM and more than 4000 GB of storage segregated in complex network ranges with multiple militarized and demilitarized zones. It facilitates learning and demonstration of current attack vectors, penetration testing methodology, and tools. A typical range consists of 5 to 8 subnets where each subnet represents a different business unit and comprises semi-hardened and hardened machines with more than 15 Windows and Linux OS flavors.
- Penetration Testers
- Network Administrators
- IT Auditors
- Information Security Engineers
- Security Consultants
This is not your typical flat network! As you progress through the range levels, each encounter will present the top defenses of today and you will learn the best and latest evasion techniques.
This training format has helped thousands of penetration testers globally and is proven to be effective. The ECCAPT is 100% hands-on. Everything presented in the course is through an enterprise network environment that must be attacked, exploited, evaded, and defended.
Acquired Skills
- Demonstrate a repeatable and measurable approach to penetration testing
- Perform advanced techniques and attacks to identify SQL injection, Cross site scripting (XSS), LFI, RFI vulnerabilities in web applications
- Submit a professional and industry accepted report that achieves management and technical buy-in
- Get access to proprietary EC-Council penetration testing methodologies
- Write exploit codes to gain access to a vulnerable system or application
- Exploit vulnerabilities in Operating systems such as Windows, Linux
- Perform privilege escalation to gain root access to a system
- Demonstrate ‘Out-of-the-box’ and ‘lateral’ thinking
- Ensure the integrity and value of the penetration testing certification, in a fully online, remotely proctored certification exam

Course Overview
The range is designed to provide challenges across every level of the attack spectrum. Additionally, the range contains multiple layers of network segmentation, and once access is gained in one segment, the latest pivoting techniques are required to reach the next segment. Many of the challenges will require outside-the-box thinking and customization of scripts and exploits to get into the innermost segments of the network. The key to being a highly skilled penetration tester is to go up against a variety of targets that are configured in a variety of ways. The ECCAPT consists of entire network segments that replicate an enterprise network — this is not a computer game simulation, this is an accurate representation of an enterprise network that will present the latest challenges to the pen tester. Since the targets and technology continue to change, the ECCAPT is dynamic and machines and defenses will be added as they are observed in the wild. Finally, the targets and segments are progressive in nature, once you get into one machine and or segment, the next one will challenge you even more.
The final range consists of challenges that will require the skills and concepts that have been covered in the course and consist of multiple visible as well as hidden subnets to prepare you for the possible challenges of the LPT (Master) range.
Finally, the ranges are designed to teach professional-level skills to identify the attack surface of targets within a required time frame and, once this has been accomplished, to gain access to the machines and escalate privileges as required. The greater the variety of targets you encounter with and without defenses, the better of a professional penetration tester you will become.
The practical environment ranges progress in difficulty and reflect real enterprise network architecture. This environment includes defenses and challenges which you must defeat and overcome.

Client Testimonials
Don’t take our word for it – here’s what our clients say:
I have spent decades achieving IT certifications, and it wasn’t until I sat in an Applied Technology Academy class did I really feel like I had finally found the BEST “hands on” training provider. No looking back, I’m here to stay with Applied Technology Academy!
John F.
We had critical certification deadlines to meet for 75% of my team and the Applied Technology Academy team worked to ensure that my team was trained and achieved a 100% pass rate. Some of the team members’ jobs were on the line – Applied Technology Academy to the rescue!
Marilyn S.
Having used a multitude of training providers in the past with less than stellar results, we were so excited to find Applied Technology Academy. Their instructors, we have had four, have been consistently amazing. We are done shopping for a training provider!
