I’ve just passed OSCP
I’m very happy to anounce that I’ve passed OSCP exam.
It took me about 9 hours to find and exploit all vulnerabilities and additional 3 hours to exploit all machines again in order to get better notes.
My preparation started one your ago. I learnt more than 4 hours on average everyday. It’s quite challenging when you work 40 hours a week, but if you’re passionate about it’s definetly doable. In my preparation i did about 250 lab boxes (HTB, Proving Grounds Practice, OSCP Labs). From my point of view the most important labs for that exam were Prsoving Grounds and new OSCP 2023 labs. Offsec made a very good job with creating 3 oscp-like labs.
I may say that I was prepared for much harder challenges on the exam, but I won’t state that the exam was easy. I have to admit that for me the hardest thing about this exam was dealing with stress. My main obiective during the exam was to keep my mind calm and stable.
I would like to thank Ippsec for sharing his walkthrough on youtube, Carlos Polop for creating and maintaing book.hacktricks.xyz and Rishabh Gupta for his support. It was a great journey !
