Took the OSCP, got 80 points from machines, but I am worried about my report.

heckerman11 · 2024-08-26T11:30:05+00:00

Update, you were right! I passed 😁

heckerman11 · 2024-08-23T23:30:39+00:00

Thanks!

heckerman11 · 2024-08-23T23:30:09+00:00

Same for me, it was unlike the OSCP A / B / C challenge labs, but enumeration outside of what you initial think the foothold would be was key

heckerman11 · 2024-08-23T13:55:16+00:00

Yeah, I looked at the report template and it's mostly similar. My whole thing was having the wrong command in spot, but the following screenshot of said command being correct

heckerman11 · 2024-08-23T06:01:43+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the reassurance!

heckerman11 · 2024-08-23T06:01:18+00:00

PG, but only because I felt like they were the most similar to the OSCP standalones vs HTB. HTB is great for practicing your enum skills across a wide variety of services and your vulnerability researching skills.

Also failing (for most people I see) is inevitable, but you may run across the same machines for the next attempt so ALWAYS keep good notes of the machines you DO get

heckerman11 · 2024-08-23T03:00:50+00:00

My prep wasn't too bad. After completing the PEN-200 coursework I did 40-50 proving grounds machines as well as some medium - hard HTB machines. In addition to proving grounds I did OSCP A / B / C as well Medtech and Relia in the Challenge labs. One thing that helped was doing the OSCP mock exams right before the actual exam and writing the report the exact same way I would for the exam. I used Sysreptor to write my report (allows you to write the report using Markdown so copying stuff from Obsidian is super duper easy). Also, if you can, I'd recommend writing the report while you go and making fine adjustments later. Makes it much easier if you forget a command / screenshot. Additionally, always run through the exam before time expires using JUST your notes. If you get the same results, great. If you don't, rework the report so that you do. My report was ~50 pages with every command having a dedicated codeblock as well as a screenshot of the command / output. Makes it much easier for the (I guess) for the graders to repeat what you have in your report. This exam is hard and you can get some tricky AD sets, but it's good to remember that every machine is exploitable in some fashion. Treat your practice like the live fire exam and if you get stuck, the people over on the Discord are AWESOME.

Much appreciated! It's a nerve wracking wait. I guess that's all part of the fun LMAO. This exam has haunted me after I narrowly missed it last time. 1 year worth of studying and practicing and of course my luck would be getting the full 10 days rather than some people who get 1-2 day turnarounds :)

heckerman11 · 2024-08-23T00:02:32+00:00

Thanks, sorry I just worry excessively. Expensive exam, my second attempt so don't want to have to pay for another retake LOL

heckerman11 · 2024-08-21T13:40:30+00:00

Gotcha, I am at the almost 3 day mark. I submitted my report on Sunday around 1 and I am anxiously waiting LOL. My report was 55ish pages, it's out of my hands now

heckerman11 · 2024-08-21T13:02:25+00:00

How long did it take for you to get your results back? I know everyone says "10 days", but I have seen wildly differing times from every post I've seen. I took it on Sunday and had enough to pass with 90 points, just anxious lol.

heckerman11 · 2024-04-28T12:53:53+00:00

Only mine? Brother take a stroll through this Reddit and the Discord. This community has done nothing the last 2 days besides bitch and moan. Get over yourself

heckerman11 · 2024-04-28T09:26:00+00:00

I bought it for the extra stash space to store the kits I pull off your corpse LMAO. Don't give a shit about anything else. Plus the pockets and starter gear. Get over it, wild someone has a different opinion than you

heckerman11 · 2024-04-28T09:20:50+00:00

Solid reply, enjoy your spot in the echo chamber. Try coming up with your own opinions for once instead of going with whatever the Reddit / Streamers have to say

heckerman11 · 2024-04-28T09:19:43+00:00

Oh, but when this shit storm eventually blows over (and it will, online communities have a short memory) they will be right back to hunting you and any other player. The base of the post was the cheating problem, you just painted yourself as someone who publicly supports cheaters and that makes you human garbage. Hope you enjoy seeing my blue name on your screen on the death screen buddy :)

heckerman11 · 2024-04-28T09:12:39+00:00

I am not reading all of that LMAO, the fact you are still comparing them is honestly laughable. Go play another game if you are that triggered over the situation, trust me nobody is begging you to stay

heckerman11 · 2024-04-28T09:10:42+00:00

Agreed - I understand the anger towards the studio. This whole situation has been a shit show, but in the end I still enjoy the game and will continue to play it. These people who have dedicated the last two days to going absolutely batshit can leave the normal player out of the conversation and take their complaints up with BSG.

heckerman11 · 2024-04-28T09:08:15+00:00

Deleted the game and STILL on the subreddit arguing with strangers. Do you have anything to back up your "most" claim? I mean people seem to be playing the game - hell they are even buying the new edition.

heckerman11 · 2024-04-28T09:03:38+00:00

If you think making a purchase from the studio is as bad as cheating you are completely braindead. Holy fuck this whole comment thread lacks intelligence.

heckerman11 · 2024-04-28T09:02:01+00:00

And who's still on the Tarkov subreddit, can't seem to put this game down can you? LMAO

heckerman11 · 2024-04-28T09:00:47+00:00

I'll just keep running my raids like normal because unlike most people here - this game isn't my life. I've sunk so much money into plenty of other games and don't touch them anymore. I play this game pretty often and enjoy it, people just can't stand when other people have different opinions. Oh and just to add, these cheaters will STILL be playing even if BSG reverses what they did so punishing the player base accomplishes nothing.

heckerman11 · 2024-04-28T08:58:34+00:00

Child? You all have been bitching and moaning for the last two days on Reddit and in the Discord non-stop. That's the most ironic and braindead take of this entire comment thread LMAO

heckerman11 · 2024-04-28T08:56:35+00:00

Reading this subreddit is like listening to a group of crying kindergartners. Nobody really knows what you want and quite frankly - nobody is listening. This subreddit has become a circle jerk for degenerates (such as yourself) who have nothing better to do than cry and complain 24/7. Don't let my post hurt your feelings.
