A closer look

OSCP+

Study focus: Finding a route into a target, escalating privileges and documenting an authorised penetration test.
Where you'd use it: Useful on scoped testing engagements where you must turn enumeration into a defensible finding and give the client enough detail to fix it.
Our preparation advice: Be able to work in Linux, troubleshoot TCP/IP and adapt small scripts. Practise keeping evidence as you go; reconstructing it at report time is painful.
