Re: Offensive Security OSCP Course

[Fred Vassard <security () techunix com>]

Hey Felipe, 
I attended the class a couple years ago, just as it came out. I found the material suitably challenging and well 
rounded, and actually had a great time following the course along.
The coursework is based on flash videos, and they provide a vmware-based lab that you VPN into to practice what you 
learn in the video-class. 
The "administrators" of that certification / lab are pretty much always reachable on IRC and online, which is always a 
plus. The final exam to get the license was also a lot of fun, where you are given a couple machines (win/linux/unix) 
that you have to compromise using what you have learned. 
To answer your question, yes, it was challenging, and I learned quite a bit ;)

Hope this helps, and let me know how it goes!

Prove to peers and potential employers without a doubt that you can actually do a proper penetration test. IACRB CPT 
and CEPT certs require a full practical examination in order to become certified.
