I don't know why every bufferover flow document talking about 32bit OS exploit (EIP, ESP etc..)
I didn't find any single document about 64bit OS exploit (RIP, RSP etc..) Because it has totally different register set..
Slightly off-topic, but I suppose this may help:

Right now I have not signed up and am studying many different attacks and the theory behind it. However I feel overwhelmed as well since there is so much to cover.
Besides reading many of the papers mentioned here I practise as well on smashthestack.org (mainly IO). There are many different challenges that expose you to the various types of vulnerabilities, helps you to identify them and gives you an understanding how to exploit them in a timely manner. Of course I document everything and write my own little scripts or code where I need it. You never know when you need it again.
I struggle a bit with GDB as I am used to Immunity, Olly or IDA. Yeah yeah, I am a Windows guy hehe.
There is cheatsheet worth printing:
darkdust.net/files/GDB%20Cheat%20Sheet.pdf
And of course an Intel Assembler 80x86 one:

Anyway it is a good prep for the OSCP cert I think. Will be signing up after OSWP. Good luck everybody

Update: Today will be my 16th day with the course and so far the course has met my expectations. I have currently put 42 hours into the course and I am happy to say I have gained root on 5 boxes so far . Every time I gain root on a system, my confidence in the lab goes up ten fold. Given, they might not of been the hardest systems in the vulnerable network but never-the-less, I have learned SO MUCH in the last 2 weeks.
At this point in time, I am thinking about taking the OSCP exam somewhere near the end of September/beginning of October.

Make sure you leave time to write the report before taking the exam.

Thanks for the advice, the report has already been on my mind. I've read from multiple reviews that the final report is hundreds of pages...

Just a question is the lab you practice in the same as the exam or are you given another lab ?

The exam is not given in the same lab you practice in.

Do I understand correctly that you have to create 2 reports? One for the student network that you exploit and one for the actual exam?
If so, does not owning all boxes on the student network have an impact on your final grade?
I wish you can clarify this for me.

@sh4d0wmanPP ,
I haven't looked to far into the final reports but I would think they would be 2 separate reports. I don't think they would want your lab info mixed in with your final report? But I do not know for sure.
The number of systems you own during the lab will have not hinder your OSCP grade.
I have heard of some people only owning 8 systems and taking the test, but I have also heard about people owning 30-50 systems.

The lab environment for practicing and the exam environment are two different ones. Also, it's not a must to document how you owned machines in the practice lab, but recommended. If you are on the edge between pass and fail of the examination, you might have better chances to pass with a report that also contains your efforts in the practice lab environment.

As for the report, I combined mine (but had separate sections.) My lab notes were an appendix to the exam report.
I don't know what was considered 'proper', but that was how I did it.
