100% OFF Windows Exploitation & Defense Expert Exam Coupon Code

This practice test is a rigorous, scenario-driven assessment designed to validate and deepen practical knowledge of Windows exploitation, lateral movement, Active Directory attacks, persistence mechanisms, evasion techniques, and forensic detection. The exam contains realistic, real-world multiple-choice questions built from hands-on red team and blue team experiences. It focuses on conceptual understanding, detection trade-offs, and operator-level tactics rather than superficial memorization.

What makes this test valuable

• Realistic scenarios mapped to current Windows internals and modern enterprise controls.

• Emphasis on detection vs. exploitation: understand how attackers operate and how defenders can detect or mitigate these techniques.

• Coverage across the kill chain: initial access, escalation, persistence, lateral movement, and cleanup/forensics.

Format and intent

• Multiple-choice questions that require applied reasoning, not just recall.

• Questions are intentionally precise: you will evaluate configurations, interpret evidence, and choose the most likely technical cause or mitigation.

• Ideal for red-teamers, blue-teamers, incident responders, and engineers preparing for advanced certifications or practical assessments.

Outcomes

• Reinforce core Windows internals and security controls.

• Improve ability to link observed artifacts to likely attacker techniques.

• Prepare learners for real operational trade-offs when building detection and response controls.

What students will learn

• How Windows integrity, token, and session models affect privilege escalation opportunities.

• Practical identification of misconfigurations in services, SDDL, Group Policy, and AD CS that lead to escalation.

• Methods of lateral movement (WMI, SMB, RDP, Pass-the-Ticket) and the defensive signals they generate.

• Persistence and LOLBin abuse techniques and how to detect/log them effectively.

• Memory and disk forensic techniques to find fileless malware, hidden services, and tampering.

• Cloud/hybrid pitfalls (Azure AD Connect, OAuth misuse, managed identity risks) and mitigations.
