Opening
OSCP proves hands-on skill in authorized lab — name the path honestly, refuse cheat VMs and report templates sold as 'guaranteed pass.'
OSCP (Offensive Security Certified Professional) is a practical exam on PEN-200 lab machines you document in a report. Prep is hours in Offensive Security Proving Grounds / lab — not memorizing retired machine writeups sold as dumps or hiring someone to take the exam. Map OSCP literacy row on YOUR $CERT_LAB — course URL, lab hour target, report template literacy. Next: Lab Ethics.
