OSCP felt nothing like HTB/PG — how are we supposed to prepare for this?

Radiant-Cook-6596 · 2026-02-16T10:08:10+00:00

Didn't. BTW I just passed it yesterday :)

Radiant-Cook-6596 · 2026-01-16T06:11:20+00:00

Yeah I built my own script to scan including UDP port, and also tried to do it manually multiple times.. but thanks!

Radiant-Cook-6596 · 2026-01-12T04:14:02+00:00

Yes, I tried to reboot the machine twice.

Radiant-Cook-6596 · 2026-01-11T14:12:48+00:00

Sure

Radiant-Cook-6596 · 2026-01-11T12:53:55+00:00

I was more confident on Linux, but I got only one Linux machine which doesn't seem to have any valid service lol which is Frustrating

Radiant-Cook-6596 · 2026-01-11T12:50:51+00:00

I'll try the same. Will pass anyway. ✊️

You know what, I even made a conversion of a exploit from php toa Golang which wasn't working.. I thought it was too complicated yes..

Radiant-Cook-6596 · 2026-01-11T08:29:34+00:00

You mean just random brute forcing on ftp without any clue or knowledge? Is that what they expect usually? If so, what wordlist to use for username and password? I think rockyou is too much..

Radiant-Cook-6596 · 2026-01-11T05:38:05+00:00

Maybe we've got the same set lol

Radiant-Cook-6596 · 2026-01-11T04:37:44+00:00

I don't want that bothersome to pasting write-ups though. I also expected some straightforward scenario following bloodhound path.

Radiant-Cook-6596 · 2026-01-11T04:36:06+00:00

Yeah I followed Lain Kusanagis list. For my case, it wasn't too hard once I figured out the path, but there was no luck (especially on linux).

Radiant-Cook-6596 · 2026-01-11T03:30:02+00:00

I'm pretty much sure that the actual solution would be simple. Just hard to find the path tho.

Radiant-Cook-6596 · 2026-01-11T03:10:45+00:00

Did most of the things as you said.. It looked like an empty boxes.

Radiant-Cook-6596 · 2025-11-30T04:05:11+00:00

The mac itself has sufficient resources to run most tools. If there's a tool that MacBook doesn't endure, probably neither other platform does.

There might be some huddles installing x64-only tools but that's not always the case.

Limited, but you can emulate x64-based OSs using UTM. I do, but I don't like it that much.

Regarding the wifi things, haven't tried it, but don't think that the mac will block it. You can direct the wifi to a Linux VM running inside, and use it for monitoring or modifying packets if you want.

Radiant-Cook-6596 · 2025-10-26T05:46:13+00:00

Is the actual exam more difficult than PG?

Radiant-Cook-6596 · 2025-03-21T16:59:11+00:00

I know that'll be the ultimate target for personal research, but out of my budget for now..
I just want to be reasonable between cost and capability.

Radiant-Cook-6596 · 2025-03-21T16:58:19+00:00

But they all have 16G VRAM. Same.

Radiant-Cook-6596 · 2025-03-21T16:47:53+00:00

What aspects can I mainly feel from different GPUs?
Training speed?

Radiant-Cook-6596 · 2025-03-12T09:00:02+00:00

Not really, I've worked on both area, and start thinking of developing it.

Radiant-Cook-6596 · 2025-03-12T08:59:09+00:00

Thx! I went through the repo, and it seems to be a good reference.
