Reddit Discussion
Hello all,
I've just finished going through the 8ksec course https://academy.8ksec.io/course/practical-mobile-application-exploitation and have scheduled my CMSE certificate exam.
I was a bit sad that the course did not include a lot of challenges (e.g. I was hoping for one challenge per module, but instead they just jump straight to the solution without actually giving a challenge for us to tackle and then see the solution).
I later realized they do have this: https://academy.8ksec.io/path-player?courseid=ios-application-exploitation-challenges&unit=684356a8b9b764fa370cd512Unit which is really great and I'm going through it.
My question is, for anyone who has already got the certificate, how difficult is it really? I haven't been able to find much info. Is it similar level of difficulty as the free exploitation challenges they have or much more difficult?
The re-take fee is pretty high so I wanted to make sure I'm well prepared.
Thank you!
