Hey,

Dark_Knight, it seems I am following the same path as you. I did GSEC than CEH. I just registered for OSCP (I start this Sunday). Then, I was going to go for GPEN or OSCE...

Anyway, since this thread is about the OSCP cert, here is my question. I already know most of the tools/scripting languages of the course, so is it possible to complete ALL exercises in 60 days? I really, really want to get the most out of the course... Also, I am planning to spend an average of 2 hours a day.

I know it depends a lot on my current knowledge, but I just want to know if you guys think it is possible to complete all exercises in 60 days (or even 30 days!).

Thanks

If you truly have the time to commit 2 hours per day, then from my experience, you could likely get through it in the 30-day window.  When I talk about 60-day, for myself, it's solely because I have an extremely loaded work schedule, as well as a handful of kids, so my time is often limited and sporadic.  So I just want to pad it for myself.

But I think if you have a good grasp on the scripting, etc, and are willing to give plenty of time in a day, you could take the shorter.  (Besides, I think it's only an extra $50, if you end up adding an extra 30-days later on, rather than just scheduling it up front; right?  So worst case, if you want to try to save the money up front, you're only out the extra $50 if you end up adding the extra time.  But if you finish in 30-days, then you've saved yourself $150...

Have fun with the course. Let us know when you have finished it.

I spent the last 2 years only going on race tracks. I stopped when I looked at my credit cards...
