  • On February 4, 2024, I FAILED the OSCP with a score of 60.
    On March 20, 2024, I PASSED! I not only passed, I fully compromised every machine.
    In this video, I share my top 20 tips that helped me go from FAIL to FULL points.
    These are tips I slowly gathered over 6 months of studying for the OSCP, including the time between my first and second attempt

    Loved the video! I was in the same boat, I failed with 60 points. I got the 10 bonus points. I completed the AD set and got a shell on 1 stand alone. BUT!!! because I sucked at priv esc I spent way too long on trying to move forward before trying something else. I started on another machine and after hours of trying other things I found the path forward...so to speak. I found how it was vulnerable but the method I was using to exploit it were wrong...but close. After failing I've been doing almost nothing but priv esc and trying to get better at different web app attacks. I re-organized my notes BECAUSE the way to exploit the machine was actually buried in my 1GB note file. I felt kinda dumb for not even looking but I'm fixing it now and I feel pretty confident about my next attempt, especially after watching this. This helps!

    I appreciate the clarity of this tip list, my biggest takeaway (that I experience almost daily) is that if a machine is acting up, just restart it and don't lost precious time. I have experienced this in HTB and wasted days on machines just because a specific port was not open for my first few scans. Awesome information, I have the CPTS coming up late May and I'm sure this advise will be effective at passing that exam as well!

      oscp mindset is not the same as ctf. wont help you much, i know people who have trouble with the oscp from doing htb and vice versa. two different mindsets. if you get both you have a VERY VERY solid base.

      @@satanicdominion666 I have definitely heard there are differences between the two; I have been doing the CPTS academy path with Labs as supplemental practice. Have you taken either or both of the exams? If so, what are the major differences you've noticed?

      I spent about 3 months to study all the materials and get ~37 flags from the challenge labs for my first attempt. After my first attempt, I did ~25 PG Practice labs as well as the Tiberius Windows + Linux Privesc micro courses.

      It's all perspective on what you will do with what you learn. I made more on my first pentest after the OSCP than I spent on the OSCP, so it's already worth it for me.
