I began my CAPE journey a few weeks after its release on December 11, 2024. Fast forward to 2025, after a year of a love-hate relationship with Active Directory, I was able to complete the course and passed the hardest AD security certification that I've taken.

In this post, I would like to share my experience taking the CAPE exam and my journey toward becoming a Certified Active Directory Pentesting Expert (CAPE). I hope this brief write-up provides insights into what the course offers, what to expect from the exam, and a few helpful tips for future CAPE candidates.

The last HackTheBox Pro Labs scenario I completed was Cybernetics (23 machines), which I used to prepare for PEN-300: Evasion Techniques and Breaching Defenses course and OSEP exam back in 2022.

In this post, I would like to share a brief review and some personal insights from my experience taking the HackTheBox Penetration Testing Path and CPTS exam.
