I am sure you want to ACE the OSCP like I did! And even beat my personal record of getting 100 on OSCP in under 7 hours, and I truly believe any one of you have the potential to smash the OSCP exam harder and better than I did. I am sure there are very good guides and tricks out there already and I will try to cover some of the tips and tricks that I haven’t seen or found very important throughout my OSCP journey, hope this will help you pass the OSCP exam!http://freedie.org/blogs/my-oscp-journey/Sat, 30 May 2026 15:09:26 -0400http://freedie.org/blogs/my-oscp-journey/Background For context, I have no prior work experience to pentesting or cybersecurity other than my CompTIA Secucirty+ certification, but I have some programming background mostly in Java, C, C++ and Python. I am graduating in June of 2026 from University of Waterloo with a major in Mathematics and a minor in computing (basically computer science). I got my CompTIA Security+ in mid September, 2025 after studying for two weeks. Then completed my Cisco CCNA in late October of 2025 after studying for a month.
