and reporting.,Interpret C2 infrastructure

and pass-the-ticket as core Active Directory attack techniques.,Build and manage attack infrastructure
including adversary domains
DNS
redirection
and pivoting for covert operations.,Enumerate Active Directory environments and escalate privileges using established Red Team tradecraft and tooling.,Apply command and control tools and channels
including Cobalt Strike and Empire
within an authorized engagement.,Structure a Red Team engagement report and debrief that demonstrates impact to technical and executive stakeholders.,Benchmark exam readiness with 5 full-length
82-question practice tests scored against the GIAC passing standard.

Requirements

Basic familiarity with penetration testing or offensive security concepts is helpful
though not required.,A working knowledge of Windows
Active Directory
and core networking concepts.,No scripting or coding experience is required. Every question is explained in plain language.,Familiarity with common Red Team tools such as Cobalt Strike
Empire
and BloodHound is useful but optional.,A computer
tablet
or phone with an internet connection to access the practice tests.,A copy of the SANS SEC565 course materials or independent GRTP study notes
recommended alongside this practice set.,Willingness to review each explanation and revisit the related objective before retaking a test.,No prior GIAC certification is required. This set works as first-attempt prep or a renewal refresher.

Description

Build real GRTP exam readiness, one full-length practice test at a time.

The GIAC Red Team Professional (GRTP) exam tests whether you can run an authorized Red Team engagement from end to end: building an adversary emulation plan, standing up C2 infrastructure, moving through an Active Directory environment, and reporting the results. This practice test set is built around that same lifecycle, using the same style of scenario-based and CyberLive style questions GIAC itself uses.

What's included in Volume 1

5 full-length practice exams, 82 questions each, matching the real GRTP format and 3-hour time limit
Over 400 unique questions across all 10 official GRTP objectives, with no repeats within this set
A detailed rationale after every question, explaining why the correct answer is right and why the closest distractor is wrong
CyberLive style items that walk through C2 profiles, redirector configurations, and Active Directory enumeration output, the same kind of hands-on interpretation used in the live exam
Coverage of the full engagement lifecycle: adversary emulation fundamentals, attack infrastructure, gaining access, command and control, discovery and enumeration, privilege escalation, Active Directory attacks, leveraging the domain, persistence and exfiltration, and engagement reporting

Who this is for

This set is built for penetration testers, Red Team operators, and security professionals preparing for the GRTP exam, whether you are working through SANS SEC565 or studying independently. Blue Team members and defenders who want to understand Red Team tradecraft, and security managers who scope or oversee Red Team engagements, will also get real value from the scenario-based format.

Why practice tests instead of video lectures

GRTP is a hands-on, tool-heavy certification. Reading about a Kerberoasting attack is not the same as recognizing one in a log entry under time pressure. Every question in this course is written to put you in that position: a short scenario, a real-world constraint, and a decision to make, exactly like the exam itself.

GIAC's published passing score for GRTP exam versions released on or after January 20, 2024 is 76%, though this figure is set through periodic psychometric review, so confirm the exact requirement for your own attempt in your GIAC account before test day. Use these five practice exams to find your weak objectives now, while there is still time to close the gap.

Take the first test cold, review every explanation, and come back for the next one once you have revisited the objectives that gave you trouble.
