Title: I passed OSCP !!
Post by: H1t M0nk3y on February 04, 2013, 04:40:12 PM

Hi everyone,

I just got the email that I FINALLY passed the OSCP exam. For those who have been member of this forum for a while, you may remember that I tried very, very hard 2 years ago, getting 60% twice! (see http://www.ethicalhacker.net/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,54/topic,6315.0/ (http://www.ethicalhacker.net/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,54/topic,6315.0/)).

I ended up doing GPEN, CISSP and GWAPT before giving OSCP another try. But this time, I was better prepared and it showed in the exam.

Before someone ask me the question, next certs: OSCE (which I started 2 years ago, but without trying the exam) and maybe CCNA (I want to get better with networks).

So at last, I did it!! ;D

Thanks everyone!!! ;D

Something that's funny: Since I knew exactly this time what I was getting myself into, I was so prepared mentally that I don't feel especially tired or exhausted (I mean, after two good nights of sleep).

I already started reading in "The Shellcoder's Handbook" yesterday. I am starting to study for OSCE tonight (first pass watching the videos).

BTW, I also stopped working on OSCE two years ago because after CISSP, I was totally brain dead. I --HATED-- studying for this exam!! I almost burn myself out. I ended up taking almost a full year off after CISSP...

But I am back now!

Anyone working on OSCE right now? ;D

Congrats Hit Monkey. I'm impressed that you're right back into it.

After my OSCP experience, I had to take a few months off to decompress. Did nothing but play games and catch up on TV/movies.
