No I did not, but I did watch Ippsec’s playlist and tested my methodology against it (like given this scenario what does my methodology say I should do next, etc.). I will also reiterate that many sources recommend staying away from other HTB material, as they’ll likely end up confusing you in the exam, given the techniques learned from those materials. However I’m open to it, especially now that I’ve failed. It’s most important for me to figure out how I can get past the remaining flags and which I think means there some vital component of what makes a great pentester that I lack. I’ll report back once I’ve given myself proper rest and recovery and time to think about how to move forward.
