Mile2 Ultimate Penetration Testing Bootcamp — C)PEH + C)PTE (Self-Study + Virtual Classroom)

Think Like a Hacker. Defend Like a Pro.

To protect an information system, you need to see it through the eyes of an attacker. The C)PEH – Certified Professional Ethical Hacker is the foundational course in Mile2’s penetration testing curriculum, built on a simple but powerful principle: understand how hackers think so you can stop them.

This course teaches you to perform structured vulnerability assessments, leverage real-world hacking techniques, understand how malware operates, and implement proactive countermeasures — all within a legal and ethical framework.
