Think Like a Hacker

This one (1) day class was designed and developed by Heath Adams to teach you the tools and methodologies that bad actors (hackers) use to find and exploit vulnerabilities in Microsoft Active Directory business environments.  Not only will you learn how to exploit Active Directory, you will learn the appropriate steps you need to take to remediate the vulnerabilities found to protect and defend your network.

Is This Class Right For You?

One of the most common tools to structure and organize users and computers in a business environment is Microsoft’s Active Directory.  However, Active Directory also happens to be one of the most exploited tools that hackers utilize to gain access to corporate networks.

I attended the first PNPT Accelerated Camp in July 2023 and, as always, TCM Security delivered it in an amazing way.
The camp included new technical topics and how to gain an insight into them. The webapp section was completely new, including the labs. It’s worth mentioning that all labs were online, which means that I didn’t need many resources in my laptop to run for example the Active Directory section. Put it simple, it’s “plug and play”. I just downloaded the VPN file and I was ready to go!

But not everything was technical, our soft skills were also improved with professional advice from the TCM Sec staff. This will help us to improve our networking and communication skills, which will lead us to grow.

All in all it was a fantastic experience and I absolutely recommend it! It was pretty demanding, but the reward is huge! Hats off to TCM Security!!
A BIG thanks to all the team that made it possible!”

The PNPT accelerated course exceeded my expectations. The opportunity to interact with the instructors was undoubtedly the most significant advantage for me. Although there were instances where I felt that I had already covered certain topics, the new perspectives and additional insights I gained were well worth it. Despite some issues with the lab environment, the TCM team was highly responsive in resolving them, and I believe the next cohort will benefit from these improvements.

I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone beginning or midway through their PNPT studies. However, if you have already completed several TCM courses and are comfortable with the material, you might find the most value in the instructor interaction or if you had struggled with the course work on your own. Throughout the course, Joe emphasized that learning doesn’t end on the final day, encouraging us to continue interacting through the special Discord group and to reach out with any job-seeking questions.

Overall, this course has prepared me well for the PNPT exam and has given me the confidence to pursue the certification.”

“I recently completed the PNPT Accelerated Course, and I was very impressed with the content and the quality of instruction. The course covered a wide range of topics, from the basics ethical hacking to more advanced concepts like AD penetration testing  . The instructors, Heath Adams and Alex Olson  are well-respected experts in the field of cybersecurity, and they did a great job of explaining complex concepts in a clear and concise way.

I especially appreciated the hands-on exercises that were included in the course. These exercises gave me the opportunity to apply the concepts that I was learning, and they helped me to better understand how Penetration testing works in practice. I also found the provided labs are very helpful. I was able to get help from other students and from the instructor when I was struggling with a particular concept.

Overall, I highly recommend the PNPT Accelerated Course to anyone who is interested in learning more about this important field. The course is well-structured, informative, and engaging. I learned a lot from this course, and I am confident that it will help me to advance my career in penetration testing particularly and cybersecurity generally.”
