If nothing else, master grep and awk for bash scripting. With those two, you can automate anything.

Hi Alex, I have gone through the OSCP training some time back. i remember,they give a vm image which you can install on your vmwork station.Having the basic Unix scripting knowledge is better as you have to write your scripts to automate certain tasks. Prior knowledge on some of the common vulnerabilities/exploitation tools is beneficial especially while taking the certification challenge in their lab(you may have to use the tools/technics to identify the vulnerable assets on your own which are not covered during the course). I found this course very useful and good luck with your exam. Thanks and Regards, Sekhar On Wed, Jun 20, 2012 at 2:02 PM, Alex Dolan <dolan.alex () gmail com> wrote:
Hey guys I'm about to embark on the Pen testing With Backtrack course and was after any tips any one can give me. I'm fairly new to hacking and this will be my first training experience with it. I'm pretty self-sufficient with Ubuntu and know my way around Windows okay. Any areas I should be focusing on and brushing up before receiving the study materials? What do you recommend for hardware? Should I use a laptop and keep the same install running with me or will it be fine to move between home and work while I'm doing it and using a service like Dropbox to store my files and stuff? How much space should I allow for the BT5 partition? Thanks for any advice you can give. -Al ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.
