    I took the OSCP cert during the beginning of COVID. I didn't pass, but i learned a lot. I ended up getting a job doing network administration, so i was away from doing anything offensive for 2 years. I heard about the CPTS, being a long-time HTB user, and decided to give it a shot. I have to say that i am impressed, and I'm only a fraction of a way through the course material. I do plan on getting my OSCP, but after the CPTS

    I saw that 2 years ago you were using IDA for debugging.
    In the meantime, I heard Ghidra got its own debugger as well, does this mean I would be able to do with Ghidra, everything you did with IDA?
    Have you tried it? Is Ghidra overall the better option? I'm trying to go all in and I think that Ghidra is the future, but IDA's decompiler seem a bit more easier to read

    I got my PNPT, and that's the certification I care about. I'm going for OSCP almost EXCLUSIVELY because it is widely recognized and gets attention. I couldn't sit through the course material because I'm fairly certain based on what I've heard I can pass without it, and the course structure is bad even after the revamp. Offsec really needs to sit down and re-evaluate their business model, though they probably won't do so until HR and employers get wise to the current pentesting cert trends. I can also agree, HTB Academy's course material is absolutely killer. The passionate people are over there.

    These are some interesting points, and I will probably cancel my Offsec labs subscription based on this review, so you saved me some money.
    As for certifications, they don't prove skill, but it's hard to prove your value on a resume without something the reviewers understand to be valuable. If they can't see your value within 15 seconds, the resume will be tossed.

      That's very true. Although I think there are many ways of proving your value within 15 seconds:
      - CVEs on good projects
      - "Hacked Microsoft" (Bug bounty with cool companies) ...

      I haven't taken the TCM academy courses myself, so I cannot say whether or not they're useful. I think they definitely hold value, but are in a space between OSCP and CPTS.
      OSCP is "easy(er)" and very very well regarded in the world.
      CPTS is very very difficult and doesn't have much recognition, but for the people that do know it, it holds a lot of value.
      As far as I see, the TCM courses lie somewhere in between where they are reasonable to complete and have some recognition.

      Currently studying for OSCP and doing a load of Academy modules as side quests. The HTB Academy modules are IMO some of the best materials out there, as the guy mentions on the video. They go far more in-depth than PEN-200. Think they definitely help.

    Is it realistic for a beginner to try to progress like this?
    Studying daily HTB academy
    Weekend HTB machines
    Progress through certificates:
    1. eJPT
    2. OSCP
    3. CPTS
    Can I do this all just using HTB platform for education and experience? As that is my idea as I always hear that HTB is a higher quality and baseline is far more advanced.

    I feel the same on certifications and use them as use-case. Getting a cert shows your minimum competence to whoever wants to hire you, and not your whole set of skills.
    Doing OSED currently (Completed the old OSCP w/ binary exploitation)
    - OSED videos were AI and rushed. Sometimes they don't match the material.
    - Tools are limited, can only use windbg, ida64 free, and some others. Cannot use gdb, ghidra, etc.
    - Some great insight and content on Windows systems, I primarily focused on nix
    - it's only x86 which is outdated and its costly for outdated arch material.
    - The lab access is no where near enough to someone that doesnt have strong familiarity with pwn.

Its about what Business want and this is what Companies like OffSec aim there stuff toward. The Best training and certification OffSec has and it came out of their mouth is the OSWE and they understand what OSCP means as business preference.

    Remember not everyone have the same skills or time to study them deep. You should also tell people that you aren't a noob that you are a very skilled person with years of doing this and CTFs that helped you a lot.

      You do not need a piece of paper for work. You need skills for work. And this certificate is a piece of paper that should prove skills, which at this point, I don't think it adequately does.
      I know it is tough to hear, but if someone doesn't have the skills needed to get the OSCP certification, then I would not trust them with performing an adequate job on a penetration test. The things you find and don't find during a test can have great consequences for the development teams behind applications, and for the safety of everyone on the internet. We need to make sure that we keep quality high.

    • @MygenteTV
      @MygenteTV 7 місяців тому

      I can agree with you in the first part, because is just a piece of paper, but is a paper that companies want. But you are wrong about the last part, because not being able to hack 6 boxes in only 24 hours without any tools doesn't mean you cant be trusted or stupid. The OSCP is based on CTFs, unreal things like rabbit holes, texts hidden on photos and more. where in real life you can use any tools you want and will have the time to do your work. In the OSCP you are looking into an one way only entry.
      At the moment I'm doing a Web PT for a multinational client, in the first few hours I had a RCE(root), DOM xss, No Rate Limitations leading to Dos, Tokens for Shopify and more stuff. I had Pwned more than 5 different US Federal agencies, Atlassain, CVE for TP-Link, have gifts from Google themself for my work on their products, same goes for Bugcrowd, Pinterest, TripAdvisor, with more than 100 valid reports on companies that big where are not only being tested everyday by thousand of people but millions are spend to keep them secure. Pwned a few goverment servers,
      And I sound like someone that cant be trusted it because fail the oscp? I don't think so, I was able to do all this because these were a real PT. Where I could do whatever I wanted in days of work, testing applications/devices with real problems, not rabbit holes. What you will learn the most in the OSCP is PE that's all, and once you get that, you can PE on at least 95% of most clients servers. @@PinkDraconian
