Evade the defenders
Get payloads past antivirus and EDR with custom tooling, and run code in memory.
Partners and press
Overview
The easy path in is usually closed. OSEP tests the harder ones.
OSEP certifies experienced penetration testers at level 300 through PEN-300; OffSec expects PEN-200 and OSCP+ or equivalent. In the 48-hour proctored exam you compromise a corporate-style network, with EDR evasion and Active Directory movement. OSEP is one of three exams, with OSWE and OSED, that earn OSCE³, and it does not expire.

Reviews
Real stories from the community.
LUNARTECH Academy has been the most empowering learning experience of my life, giving me a clear, structured path from the absolute basics to building real-world AI systems with confidence.
Your page is fantastic. As a bachelor’s student in Data Science now accepted for a master’s at UConn, your work has been a real source of motivation.
The programme’s clear, bite-sized content and practical projects dramatically improved my speed from fuzzy idea to MVP and my ability to communicate AI value. I followed the system, and it works.
I really appreciate your teaching style and the way you break down complex topics. It has been incredibly helpful.
After years working mainly with R for econometrics, I found your Python machine learning course a refreshing and engaging way to learn Python.
As a Data Science graduate, I want to thank you for the effort you put into making videos to support growing data scientists.
I’ve been following your work since taking your machine learning course, and I’m impressed by your practical approach to applying AI.
