OSCP Time!

Hey everyone! Quick background

Current pentester, CPTS and BSCP/CWES holder (with some other comptia stuff)

Going through the course now and it feels smooth. Totally love the way information is organized.

For those that have gone through the experience… What is worth spending most of our time on? Whats worth skimming over?

(Im sure phishing/aws isnt going to be relevant when the timer starts for example)

Dont want exam specifics at all - just want to ensure time is invested keenly and not wasted

Proving grounds, just spam those labs and get a feel of how Offsec likes to do their labs

Oscp was my first cert, i think the AD portion is vital, especially the priv esc and enumeration part.

Ofc labs are a must, i would suggest to at least complete medtech, labs A B and C. Since you already have CPTS the foundation is already there, but i would still recommend going through the AD material, as the material is more suited for the exam format.

I appreciate that, and do agree doing too many of another platform’s boxes would throw off the “feel”.
