Ok,

I am almost down going through the videos. My goal was to have an idea of the course materials (what I call, the first pass).

I notice that all exploit development is done against 32 bits Windows XP or Vista.

So my question is: To get ready to the OSCE exam, do I need to learn:

1) Exploit development on 64 bits Windows OS?

2) Exploit development on Linux, Unix, *BSD?

I am planning on practicing these two points pretty soon anyway, but since I am focusing on the exam, I am trying to scope my study right now...

Thanks!

About the choice of distribution, you can pretty much use whatever you want. (I didn't use BackTrack, but I had to install some tools completely on my own, but that was just fun for me none the less.)

1) Unlikely.

2) Unlikely, but knowing how exploits works on almost all types of systems is a good idea :-)

Thanks MaXe!

I also got this answer from the Offensive-Security folks:
Quote
During exams we ask students to demonstrate their creativity only on subjects similar to the ones faced during the course. We cannot say what will be or won't be asked during the exam but, for sure, very specific subjects like 64bit exploitation (not covered at all during the course) will not be part of the challenge.

I will be posting more questions later, as I continue working on this course.
