OSCP+
Offensive SecurityThe OSCP+ is the most demanding hands-on penetration testing certification in the industry. Candidates must score 70 out of 100 points across a 24-hour live exam by compromising standalone Linux and Windows hosts, exploiting web application vulnerabilities, and fully pwning a mandatory Active Directory chain including foothold, lateral movement, and domain dominance. Zero multiple-choice, zero hints, and no partial credit on AD. The "+" designation marks the modernized, harder exam format reflecting real enterprise attack paths. Valid for 3 years, continuously renewed.
~15% first attempt
24-hour live exam (70/100 pts to pass): standalone hosts (Linux/Windows) + web exploitation + full AD chain, plus written pentest report
OSCP
Offensive SecurityThe Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) is the gold standard hands-on penetration testing certification worldwide. To pass, candidates must score 70 out of 100 points in a grueling 24-hour proctored exam by compromising real machines across three standalone targets and an Active Directory set. Every point is earned by successfully exploiting live systems with zero multiple-choice questions and zero vendor hints. The technical benchmark for senior penetration testing roles globally and the foundation the OSCP+ is built upon.

24-hour live exam (70/100 pts to pass): 3 standalone hosts + Active Directory set, plus written pentest report
C-AI/MLPen
The SecOps GroupThe Certified AI/ML Pentester (C-AI/MLPen) is an intermediate-level, fully practical certification focused on AI and Large Language Model (LLM) security. Issued by The SecOps Group, it validates hands-on ability to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in LLM-based systems including prompt injection, training data poisoning, model theft, insecure output handling, and supply chain weaknesses. All topics are mapped directly to the OWASP Top 10 for LLMs.
60% pass mark (75% for Merit)
4-hour online practical exam via VPN. No multiple choice, fully hands-on against real vulnerable environments.
CASA
APIsec UniversityThe Certified API Security Analyst (CASA) is APIsec University's advanced credential validating broad API security expertise. The exam tests deep knowledge of the OWASP API Security Top 10 — including broken object-level authorization (BOLA), broken authentication, excessive data exposure, mass assignment, server-side request forgery, and insecure consumption of third-party APIs — alongside wider API risks, threats, and defensive best practices for REST and GraphQL services. Holding CASA demonstrates the ability to assess, identify, and reason about API vulnerabilities across the full software development lifecycle.
80% required to pass
2-hour online proctored exam: 100 multiple-choice questions covering the OWASP API Security Top 10 and broader API risks, threats, and best practices.
Elite Red Team Programs
These are not exam-based certifications. They are invite-only, continuously earnedpositions within the world's most selective offensive security programs. Harder to enter than any certification, and impossible to fake.
Synack Red Team
SynackThe Synack Red Team (SRT) is one of the most selective elite offensive security programs in the world, with less than 10% of applicants accepted. Joining requires a grueling 5-step vetting process averaging 6 months: application review, legal identity and background check, a live 72-hour practical hacking assessment against real targets, full report quality evaluation, and a final review board. Active SRT researchers continuously test Fortune 500 companies and US federal government systems under strict legal oversight, making SRT standing a globally recognized proof of elite offensive capability.
