The eJPT is the certification question I get asked about more than any other from people just entering cybersecurity. Is it worth the time? Will it help with job applications? Is it actually harder than it looks, or just a rubber stamp? I've had students pass it after two weeks of preparation and struggle to land jobs, and I've had students use it as the credibility boost that got them their first security interview. The ejPT certificate itself isn't magic…

DVWA Impossible Security Analysis 2026 — What Secure PHP Code Actually Looks Like | Hacking Labs Day29
🔬 DVWA LABS FREE Part of the DVWA 30-Lab Series Lab 29 of 30 · 96.7% complete For 28 labs I've been showing you how to break applications. Today I'm doing the opposite — reading the code that cannot be broken with standard techniques and understanding exactly why it works. DVWA's Impossible security level is a reference implementation: the developers wrote the most defensively correct version of each vulnerable function they could produce. Reading this code side-by-side with the Low…
AI-Assisted Recon and Attack Surface Mapping 2026 — How hackers use LLMs to map attack surfaces faster
A senior penetration tester I know used to spend three hours on the recon phase of an assessment: running Amass, processing the subdomain list, checking Shodan for the scope's IP ranges, correlating the results, identifying the five or six most interesting targets before starting active testing. Now it takes forty minutes. The data collection phase takes the same time. The analysis and prioritisation — what used to take two hours — is thirty minutes of structured AI prompting and verification…
Network Persistence 2026 — Scheduled Tasks, Registry Persistence & Service Backdoors | Hacking Course Day37
🛡️ ETHICAL HACKING COURSE FREE Part of the 100-Day Free Ethical Hacking Course Day 37 of 100 · 37% complete ⚠️ Authorised Engagements Only. Persistence mechanisms must only be deployed in authorised penetration testing or red team engagements with explicit written scope. Establishing persistence on systems without authorisation constitutes unauthorised computer access under most jurisdictions' computer crime laws. All labs in this course use isolated local virtual machines. Getting initial access is the exciting part. What happens next determines whether…
10 Real Bug Bounty Reports That Paid $10,000+ — What They Had in Common
Most bug bounty hunters spend months chasing $100 and $200 reports and never understand what separates their findings from the ones that pay $15,000 or $50,000. The vulnerability class matters less than you think. The report quality matters more than most people realise. And the attack chain — the question "what does this vulnerability enable when combined with something else?" — is almost always the difference between a Low finding and a Critical one. I've reviewed hundreds of disclosed bug…
OWASP LLM Top 10 — The Complete Hacker’s Guide to Every Vulnerability | AI LLM Hacking Course Day3
🤖 AI/LLM HACKING COURSE FREE Part of the AI/LLM Hacking Course — 90 Days Day 3 of 90 · 3.3% complete ⚠️ Authorised Targets Only: Every technique demonstrated against OWASP LLM vulnerability categories applies to authorised targets only — your own API keys, official bug bounty programmes with AI scope, and sanctioned red team engagements. SecurityElites.com accepts no liability for misuse. When I present AI red team findings to clients, the conversation changes the moment I map each finding to…
LLM Fuzzing Techniques 2026 — Automated Vulnerability Discovery in AI Models
The manual AI red teamer sits down, thinks of a creative jailbreak, tests it, notes the result, thinks of another one. After a day they've tested maybe 50 prompt variations across three or four attack categories. Meanwhile, a developer's automated fuzzer is sending 50 prompt variations every 30 seconds, systematically covering every known mutation type across all 15 OWASP LLM vulnerability categories, logging every response, and flagging anomalies for human review. That gap — between manual creativity and systematic coverage…
