WHAT IT COVERS

A scenario exam, then a live defence. Both must be passed.

01
Stage 01 · The scenario exam

Prove what you can do, one decision at a time.

Real-world situations drawn from active incident response and offensive operations. Questions are delivered one at a time under a server-authoritative timer. Every answer is autosaved. The exam runs in a locked-down browser environment that logs integrity events without recording you.

02
Stage 02 · The live defence

Defend your reasoning to the practitioners who wrote the test.

A live interview with working practitioners where you defend your answers and reasoning. This is what makes an ekaraksha credential unfakeable. You will be asked to explain trade-offs, alternative approaches, and what you would do differently in a real engagement.

WHAT YOU WILL BE TESTED ON
  • Reading an unfamiliar environment and choosing a sound attack or defence path.

  • Explaining why an exploitation or hardening route works, and why the alternatives do not.

  • Reasoning about post-exploitation impact and attacker intent.

  • Prioritising an incident response when everything looks urgent.

  • Justifying the hardening trade-offs you would actually make in production.
