The course begins tomorrow. 

Right, so I received my welcome e-mail today. It contains links to the VM & videos, as well as a Lab Guide.

The note from the authors section of the Lab Guide really impressed me. I have not gone into the details of the lab guide yet, but for those who do not read the notes from authors (I do that always), do not miss this one. I can only imagine how the rest of the material will be.

Have fun!!

good luck! i guess we won't be seeing you around here much the next 60 days

I think, if you have the money, the 90 days is well worth it, even if not always necessary.  It's always interesting to spot things you didn't, upon second and third looks at something, and, even after you've exploited a lab box, sometimes, you'll find other ways (or better ways) of accomplishing the same things, as well as being able to try different tools against the lab, to see how the behave, how quickly and accurately they report findings, etc.  It's a good test ground, as well as a training ground.

Good luck, and let us know how you do!

Dude, it's a blast. You should go for it. I thought it was much harder than OSCP but it was that much more rewarding as well.

Yeah, I know how it goes with $$.  I did the 60-day, also.  Just a nice option to grab extra lab time, for folks who can afford it, as it's always nice to be able to hack / test on someone else's machines, when you have no prior knowledge of them, rather than setting up known stuff on your own labs.  That said, once you've experienced the OSCP labs, you'll definitely have ideas for pushing your own labs to be more effective, etc.  <evil grin>

Good luck, dbest, and let us know how you're coming along with it.

Is it not better watch the video, then read the material and do the practice?
