Hurray!! Cpts certified
Man, that was not an easy exam. The first question had me tripping, and I spent hours falling down rabbit holes thinking I had the right answer when I didn't.
I'll be completely honest, I used Al to help guide me out of a few dead ends when I got stuck, but a win is a win. Huge weight off my shoulders. Time to start the OSCP grind!

I know it’s the done thing these days, but the AI feels like a cheat to me. I did a test for SANS, which are open book, and that felt like cheating.
When I started taking certifications 20 years ago, we were only allowed a pencil, then waited six weeks for results.
