An update on the OSCP

Hello readers,

I have to give you an update on the OSCP course - yes - I am still hanging in there by a thread doing it. This course is by far the hardest course i've ever done, but that's because I was expecting the course contents to cover absolutely everything I needed to know to successfully attack machines. That...hasn't quite been the case and i've found myself doing alot of research.

So now, picture me, coming home after a 12 hour shift, where i've sat in front of the computer for 11 hours and I need to research X/Y/Z before I carry out X/Y/Z attacks in the lab. Yeah - it's rough. Well, as it stands, i've got this far:

59 days in, 21 machines popped, one of which includes the notoriously hard "pain" and i've *almost* got root on "sufference" which is much, much harder than "pain".

I've got 21 days left in the labs, so if I can manage to pop 1 every 2 days, that'd give me 10 more machines, which would give me a grand total of 31 machines popped which is much more respectable than just 21.
