It’s been awhile since I posted. I’ve been finalizing my OSCP dump / purple team presentation for my team. I gave the presentation last week, and overall, thought it went well. We ran through 4 vulnerable machines, ran into a couple snags, but were able to power through. I think I need to shorten the … Continue reading "OSCP Dump/ Purple Team Exercise Presentation"

My OSCP journey has been 9 months, 4 exam attempts, and 2 lab sessions long… Today it all payed off! It took about a day and a half to get my exam results, and was informed I passed!

I rooted 3/5 machines, not enough to pass 🙁 I already re-scheduled my exam, and believe I’m close … Continue reading "Trying Harder…"

I also went back and re-exploited machines that I used metasploit & sqlmap on. In total, I rooted 42 machines. … Continue reading "Finished PWK Lab Round 2"
