OSCP guides & walkthroughs

OSCP is the OffSec penetration testing certification examined through Penetration Testing with Kali Linux: a 24-hour practical exam followed by 24 hours of reporting. This page covers the OSCP preparation material sold on this site, including standalone machine reports, Active Directory sets and report templates.

What is OSCP and what does the exam involve?

OSCP is examined in two stages. The first is a 24-hour practical session against standalone machines and an Active Directory set. The second is 24 hours of reporting after the session ends, where the notes and screenshots you took have to become a document an assessor can follow.

That second stage is why this page carries so many report products. A working exploit is only half the job; the write-up has to show the path, the commands and the evidence clearly. Our material is organised around that reality, with separate reports for individual machines and for full AD sets.

The standalone machine reports cover targets on .110, .111 and .112, including .112 ”Horilla” ($219.00), .110 ”ZeroStudio” ($199.00), .112 ”Crestline” ($125.00), .112 ”almondblossoms.ai” ($125.00), .111 Vacation ($125.00) and .110 Rsync ($125.00). Other standalone reports include .112 TrackPoint IT Service Desk Portal ($125.00), .111 OffSec Employee 22,80,3389,5985 ($125.00), .110 IMAP – Mailbox ($125.00) and Clara-Markus ($125.00).

Which Active Directory set should I buy?

AD sets are the largest single item on the page. AD set v10 is $299.00 and OSCP Offsec AD Set v9 is $450.00. Both are written for candidates who want to see a full chain from initial foothold through to domain compromise, rather than a single box.

If you are working through sets in order, start with the set that matches the version you are currently practising and move forward from there. The downloads page explains how files are delivered after checkout.

How should I use a written report while preparing?

Use the report after your own attempt, not before it. Work the machine, take your own notes, then compare your path against the written one and note where you lost time. The value is in the comparison, not in reading the answer first.

• Attempt the target unaided and record every command.
• Compare your route and your notes against the report.
• Rewrite your own findings in report form, as you would on exam day.

The same applies to AD sets, where the chain is longer and the reporting burden is heavier. Our certifications page lists the other vendors and exams we cover.
