I failed my first OSCP attempt, and I'm looking for some advice.

I Am Not OSCP & Never Done Any Courses
So Sorry For Any Mistake In Answer

Sir ,

As You Say You Failed In Getting Root Access
And I Read In Blogs That Metasploit Is Not Used During Exam

So , Alternative And Fully Depends On Netcat And Exploits

As My Opinion , IF You Sir , Improve You Skill In Python So It’s Pretty Helpful For Rooting

I Am Total Noob ,

As I Think Buying HTB VIP [1 month] is Helpful ,
And I know That You Already Know About That Exploits , But I Just Say You

Sir , There Is 2 Most Excellent Exploits

  1. 18411 [ For Linux Root ]
  2. 18176 [ For Windows Root ]

As You Say You Not Have Enough Time
So sorry about that but I Read Many Blogs They Give 5 h/day

Also As You say You Get 55/100 , Mean Actually You Get 45 , And 10 Point Of report

I Prefer You Sir, That You First Give some time
And Try To Hack HTB Box Without Using Metasploit , Create Own Exploits by python
Etc …

And Most Give Time To Hacking,
OSCP LAB, i Never See But People Say, Best Lab For Practice , but Now I Think You Not Purchase Is Better

Sorry if i make any mistake against Your Respect
I Am Noob So , Possible Make Mistake

Best Wishes To You Sir For Future @Amzker
