eCPPT — eLearnSecurity Certified Professional Penetration Tester
INE Security's intermediate-level network pentesting certification with a 100% practical exam covering network exploitation, Active Directory attacks, and pivoting. Updated in 2024-2025. Requires INE Premium subscription (~$749/yr) with exam voucher. Not DoD 8140 approved. Community recognition is lower than OSCP or PNPT at the same level — most practitioners treat eCPPT as either a stepping stone to OSCP or as an alternative for those who prefer INE's training ecosystem. Solid practical depth but the required subscription model adds total cost friction.
