DAY 0 OSCP – Pentesting with Kali Live one week training review
When you start studying for your OSCP you have two big choices. Doing it by yourself with an online course or doing a live course. This is a review of the Live Course. Im writing this one because when I was deciding if I needed the Live course I was only able to find one review and is of a guy that ended up working in offensive security.
Im taking the course because Ive seen very smart people failing. Im not talking about failing the exam, I think that is part of the learning process. Ive seen very smart people quit the OSCP process altogether. I sincerely want to build enough base knowledge to be able to the labs (30 days 8 hours each day) and passing my OSCP after that.

OSCP - Pentesting with Kali Linux (PWK) In this unique official live training course you'll be prepared by the Offensive Security trainers for the hands-on 24-hour OSCP pentest exam, combined with the additional lab access. TSTC is the only training institute in Europe where you can attend this live training course. As an OSCP you've demonstrated your ability to be presented with an unknown network, enumerate the targets within their scope, exploit them, and clearly document their results in a penetration test report. Penetration Testing with Kali (PWK) is an advanced pen testing course designed for network administrators and security professionals who want to take a serious and meaningful step into the world of professional penetration testing. This unique penetration testing training course introduces students to the latest ethical hacking tools and techniques, including remote, virtual penetration testing labs for practicing the course materials. Penetration Testing with Kali Linux simulates a full penetration test from start to finish, by injecting the student into a target-rich, diverse, and vulnerable network environment. An OSCP, by definition, is able to identify existing vulnerabilities and execute organized attacks in a controlled and focused manner, write simple Bash or Python scripts, modify existing exploit code to their advantage, perform network pivoting and data ex-filtration, and compromise poorly written PHP web applications. Our live OSCP training course includes: Two trainers from the Offensive Security team; depending on the size of the group a third trainer may be required. Five days of hands-on training, with each days training running from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Trainers will remain after class for as long as students have questions.
