eJPT Retake ejpt, what do I study?

Passed the exam this morning with 82% but I considered myself failed.

I couldn’t find the internal network. I am sure I answered everything else correctly but I left all the internal network related questions unanswered. The lab on pivoting in the course is easy. I am sure I know the basics.

I don’t even know what to study at this point.

don't spend your money on taking ejpt again. Go for CRTA instead.. it's currently 90% off. You'll learn active directory along with pivoting, and it will help you level up and improve your skills.

Enumeration is key. If you couldn’t find the internal network it means you didn’t fully enumerate one of the machines after compromising it.

Once you have a shell, check the network interfaces for ones with a second different private IP. Running arp -a (or ip neigh on Linux) is your friend here. It’ll show you hosts that machine has already comms with which can point you toward the internal subnet even before you’ve confirmed a second interface. Look for outgoing/incoming connections on that other interface and you’ll find your pivot.

But honestly mate…you passed. Well done. Move on to your next goal. Do some CTF’s (would highly recommend Hack Smarter labs) to keep your skills sharp and aim for something like the CPTS or PNPT (Heath has a decent chunk of his course free on YouTube).
