Proof that I voluntarily suffered through exams, in roughly the order my sleep schedule deteriorated.

04 certifications · 2025 — 2026
CWEE
2026

CWEE

Certified Web Exploitation Expert (HTB CWEE)

Blackbox and whitebox testing against hardened web apps: advanced injections, deserialization, and bugs that only show up once you read the code.

CPTS
2026

CPTS

Certified Penetration Testing Specialist (HTB CPTS)

Ten days of pentest and a report long enough to have its own table of contents. Networks, web, and Active Directory, end to end. The exam is less "can you exploit this" and more "can you still write coherently on day nine."

CWES
2025

CWES

Certified Web Exploitation Specialist (HTB CWES)

Web application exploitation past the point where the scanner gives up. Chain the small bugs until they become one large bug, then explain in writing why it was worth someone's bounty budget.

CRTA
2025

CRTA

Red Team Analyst (CRTA)

Infrastructure, pivoting, lateral movement, persistence. Learning to do all of it without setting off every alert in the building.
