Expert Practice Tests for Certified Active Directory Pentesting Expert Hands-on Assessment

Certified Active Directory Pentesting Expert (CAPE) Practice Tests offer a specialized, practical preparation designed to simulate the advanced, hands-on challenges of the CAPE certification exam. These non-official practice exercises and challenges are meticulously crafted to test your expert-level ability to compromise and secure complex Active Directory (AD) environments. The CAPE is highly respected for testing your practical skills in enumeration, exploitation, lateral movement, and persistence techniques specific to Windows and AD.

The practice set covers advanced AD exploitation topics, focusing heavily on kerberoasting, AS-REPRoasting, advanced constrained and unconstrained delegation attacks, lateral movement (e.g., Pass-the-Hash, WMI), persistence techniques, and navigating complex forest/domain trust relationships. You will encounter challenges that require you to deeply analyze AD configuration, exploit misconfigurations using tools like BloodHound and custom scripts, and achieve domain dominance without detection. Success in these practice tests indicates an expert grasp of the practical and methodical skills needed for a senior AD penetration tester or security auditor. Each challenge is accompanied by a detailed walk-through solution that explains the thought process and exact steps (commands, tools, and methodologies) required to achieve domain compromise. This focus on specialized AD attack vectors makes this resource indispensable for validating your ability to compromise complex enterprise environments. Dedicate yourself to these practice tests to ensure you possess the technical depth and methodology required for a successful CAPE certification.
