OSCP: A little update

Heyaaa! It’s been a while since I posted my last update regarding my OSCP journey.
As I said a few posts ago, I will be enrolling first with the HTB’s academy modules so that the 3 months of laboratory during OSCP proper will not be wasted.

I want to make the most out of it during the 3 months of OSCP enrollment.
They did an overhaul with the PEN-200 course so it’s better to walk to it prepared.

During my study in HTB, I try to master the tools of trade as much as I can so when I enroll to OSCP, I know the tools to use and whatnot.
I also finished HTB Academy 2 Paths (I am now qualified to take the CBBH and CPTS exams but I choose to go with OSCP enrollment first):

HTB Certified Bug Bounty Hunter
CERTIFIED BUG BOUNTY HUNTER

HTB Certified Penetration Testing Specialist
CERTIFIED PENETRATION TESTING SPECIALIST

Here are all the modules of the 2 combined paths:

HTB

Overall, I can say that HTB really provides good quality materials. A lot of knowledge can be gained from HTB!
The laboratories are time consuming yet very enjoyable!

Sometimes when I hit a wall brick and gets stuck, it get’s frustrating.
But a walk outside and breathing of fresh air can really help.

CYBER APOCALYPSE CTF 2023

Also, As I mentioned on my last post, I joined the CA CTF 2023. Since I cannot find any team to join (probably because I am a newbie) then I made my own and participated as solo player.

I got to pwn a lot of easy and very easy challenges but I don’t have time left to pwn medium and higher challenges. I ended up a team ranking of 468/6483 and got only 29/74 flags.

Certificate of Participation

OSCP Enrollment

And since I don’t have any company sponsor, and the money I will spend will come from my own pocket, then I have to be practical as much as I can. That’s why I just opted to enroll first with HTB academy to master the tools before I enroll to OSCP.

I chose the “Course & Cert Exam Bundle” as it is the most cheapest but it only comes with 90 days of lab access.

OSCP

I will try to post updates whenever I got time. But yeah, probably I got lesser time as of now because I will be focusing as much as possible during the OSCP proper.

Thank you so much for reading! Stay tuned!
