    OSCP Preparation (Step-by-Step Roadmap + Real Strategy)

    In this episode, Prabh sits down with Sérgio to break down a practical, no-fluff roadmap for preparing for the OSCP (Offensive Security Certified Professional) certification.This discussion is designed for anyone who feels overwhelmed by OSCP — and wants a structured approach that focuses on hands-on skills, repeatable methodology, and exam-ready habits.Sérgio’s Journey: From Hospitality to OSCPSérgio shares how he transitioned from being a restaurant shift supervisor into cybersecurity — and eventually earned the OSCP.Key takeaway: OSCP isn’t about being “naturally gifted.”It’s about practice, repetition, and building a personal methodology.What You Should Learn Before OSCPBefore buying OSCP material, Sérgio strongly recommends building fundamentals first:Linux fundamentals (file system, permissions, services, processes)Windows fundamentals (users, services, logs, privilege escalation basics)Basic networking & enumeration habitsComfort using terminals and troubleshootingHe suggests starting with platforms like Hack The Box or TryHackMe to build confidence before going into OSCP labs.Best Practice Platform for Exam ReadinessSérgio recommends training on Proving Grounds because it most closely matches OffSec-style machines and exam patterns.Why it matters:Practicing on OffSec-style labs builds the exact muscle memory needed for OSCP — especially under time pressure.The OSCP Notes System That Saves You in the ExamOne of the strongest lessons in this episode:Your notes and checklists are your real “weapon” in OSCP.Sérgio explains how he built an Excel-based tracking system to document:Machine difficulty rating (your own subjective scale)Steps takenKey learnings and takeawaysWhat worked / what failedRepeatable exploitation patternsThis helps you avoid repeating mistakes and creates a “playbook” you can use during the exam.OSCP Exam Methodology (How to Think Under Pressure)Sérgio stresses that OSCP success depends on a personal workflow:Start with full port scansRun targeted enumerationCheck common entry points (shares, web apps, creds, services)Always validate credentials across machinesBuild a repeatable process you can run like a scriptHe also highlights the value of becoming tool-flexible (not tool-dependent). Active Directory in OSCP (What to Focus On)The OSCP Active Directory portion is not about advanced enterprise AD topics.It’s about doing the fundamentals extremely well:Recon + enumerationCredential access and reuseLateral movement basicsTools like SecretsDump / Mimikatz (used correctly)Repeating the process across AD machines systematicallyTools, Tunneling & Not Overusing MetasploitSérgio shares realistic advice on tools OSCP candidates should understand:Privilege escalation basicsEnumeration scriptsPivoting/tunneling tools like Ligolo-NG and ChiselAvoid becoming dependent on MetasploitLearn to adapt when a tool failsOSCP Reporting: The Skill Most People IgnoreA big OSCP differentiator is report writing.Sérgio breaks down what matters in the exam report:Clean structureClear reproduction stepsScreenshots for proof (flags + key commands)A readable narrative (work backwards if needed)Make the examiner’s job easyHow to Know You’re Ready for OSCPSérgio suggests readiness looks like:You can solve boxes consistently in a limited timeframeYou’re comfortable with OffSec-style lab patternsYou have a repeatable checklist-driven methodologyYou can document everything clearly while hacking
