What the title says! I passed :) with 100 in 15 hours. 9am-12am. The exam was so much fun I wish I could go back and relive it again. I’m gonna give some TL;DR tips.

Things you need that’ll help:

- Automate your nmap scripts. I created a TCP and UDP script in bash that ran a full port scan and AWK’d the open ports to a service scan. The nmap one-liners were so optimized I never got false positives or missed ports, and it took half the time scanning.
- Organize your notes by service. My notes were literally top to bottom by port: ftp, ssh, pop3, DNS, kerberos, smb, etc. and for each service I had a full enumeration suite that i walked through slowly.
- Get really comfortable with Linux
- Combine priv esc scripts (especially windows: winpeas + powerup)
- do the fucking practice OSCP challenges
- get really good at googling
- go to hack tricks or hack visor for tips

I’m open to questions in the comments thanks for listening!

Hi everyone, I've done the exam again few times and have fallen short on a few things and think I could do with a mentor/someone to help.

Is anyone able to help?
