C)PSH - Mile2 Certificate

What Is C)PSH?

The Certified Physical Security Hacker (C)PSH) by Mile2 teaches how to identify, exploit, and defend against vulnerabilities in physical security systems — think lock bypassing, badge cloning, alarm evasion, and unauthorized building access.

Unlike most pen testing certs, C)PSH focuses on hands-on physical intrusion skills like:

• Lock picking and covert entry tools

• RFID spoofing and badge cloning

• Social engineering tactics

• Alarm and access control bypassing

It's ideal for ethical hackers, red teamers, auditors, and facility managers who want to secure real-world infrastructure.

Why I Took It

Today’s attackers don’t always need to hack your network — sometimes, they just walk in the front door. I chose C)PSH to expand my knowledge beyond digital threats and better understand how physical access can compromise cyber systems.

Key Takeaways

• Physical Pen Testing Methodology: Planning and executing red team ops

• Entry Tools & Tactics: From bump keys to RFID cloners

• Weak Access Controls: Flaws in surveillance and security systems

• Blending In: Social engineering in real-world scenarios

Even basic tools and tricks can bypass expensive security setups — that was the biggest eye-opener.

Course & Certification

Delivered online with:

• Interactive modules and demos

• Exam prep resources

• A 2-hour, 100-question exam

The cert is valid for 3 years, with CEUs available for ongoing learning.

Final Thoughts

C)PSH isn’t just about hacking — it’s about rethinking security. If you want to defend against real-world threats, not just digital ones, this certification is a powerful addition to your toolkit.
