A Script Kiddie’s guide to Passing OSCP on your first attempt.

@extincted said:
Did my 2nd attempt on OSCP yesterday.
The first time, I got problems with the BoF-challange, which took me 6 hours, after that i was stressed and collecte aprox 60 points allover, in 18 hours.

I had a cooldown period for 3 months (self decided, as the labs kind of burned me out, my girlfriend complained about me not being around with my son).

This 2nd time around,
I got 50 points in 2 hours, had 90 (given that i only acccess local.txt and its worth half value) points within 6 hours.

Pretty great to have such amount of time left and be able to use it to write the report, retake screenshots that looks strange in your report and such.

Let’s just hope I pass :>

You will, don’t rush and give yourself time to absorb, learn, rinse and repeat. Then go for the exam. Every box I failed to pwn in htb and vulnhub I wrote down where I failed and created a list of “have you tried these techniques” to help me remember.
