The CA501 program is structured as a continuous combat simulation, escalating in difficulty each week. Expect 5-7 intense, hands-on labs per week. The output is competence.
Week 1 eliminates guessing. You will learn to map targets using aggressive OSINT and customized stealth-scanning, moving beyond automated tools to identify critical entry points and circumvent initial perimeter defenses.
This week focuses on the rupture point. Master vulnerability research, custom payload creation, and advanced exploitation techniques to gain the first foothold—moving from discovery to immediate, stable command and control.
Week 3 is about maximizing access once inside. You will learn to weaponize misconfigurations, kernel exploits, and advanced post-exploitation tactics on both hardened Windows and Linux hosts to achieve SYSTEM or Root privileges.
The focus shifts to horizontal aggression. Master Active Directory attacks, Kerberos exploitation, and the use of specialized tunneling and pivoting techniques to relentlessly move from one compromised host to the entire internal network.
This module targets the modern attack surface. You will move past basics, focusing on complex injection, advanced request forgery, and exploiting insecure API design to bypass authentication and compromise mission-critical web applications.
Week 6 integrates all combat skills with anti-forensics and EDR evasion. The module culminates with the CA Forged Penetrator (CFP) Practical Exam, a final, multi-day simulation designed to validate real-world readiness.
