Hi Guys,

Sorry to kinda hijack a thread but I didn't see the need in writing a new one.

I see a lot of you have suggested learning Metasploit for the OSCP but am I right in believing that use of MSF in the exam is banned?

Also, for clarity, is nmap and the meterpreter payload banned?

Metasploit can be used once in the exam (though for one of my questions it was expressly forbidden)
nmap can be used - I used it with the nse scripts as well.
Using a metasploit payload is ok - you're not allowed to use getsystem though.
