The OSCP is a certification that has already gained a very solid recognition and I only hope and expect that to continue. I’ve taken a couple of other security related certifications including the CEH, Security+, CISSP and the TigerScheme QSTM. If I had to select a candidate to perform a pen test on a client network, the OSCP certified candidate would get the job every single time. Read OSCP Review
I have had extensive experience with industry certifications, and I can say without a doubt that Offensive Security trainings and certifications are in a league of their own. The training they provide develops real technical skills, forcing you to leverage what you learned to solve complex problems, rather than the traditional multiple choice question format.Read OSCP Review
A few months ago, we decided to make a new module for our Advanced Windows Exploitation class. After evaluating a few options we chose to work with an Adobe Flash 1day vulnerability originally discovered by the Google Project Zero team. Since we did not have any previous experience with Flash internals, we expected a pretty steep learning curve.
Admittedly, somewhat of a click-bait blog post title – but bear with us, it’s for a good reason. Lots of work goes on behind the scenes of Kali Linux, tools get updated every day and interesting new features are added constantly. Most of these tool updates and feature additions go unannounced, and are then discovered by inquisitive users – however this time, we had to make an exception.
Managing the Exploit Database is one of those ongoing tasks that ends up taking a significant amount of time and often, we don’t take the time to step back and look at the trends as they occur over time. Have there been more exploits over the years? Perhaps fewer? Is there a shift in platforms being targeted? Has the bar for exploits indeed been raised with the increase in more secure operating system protections?
