Daily REDTeam’s Post

OSCP: The Red Team Rite of Passage 🎯 The Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) certification isn’t just a milestone—it’s a mindset shift. This guide is packed with field-tested tactics, enumeration flowcharts, exploitation techniques, and privilege escalation paths every red teamer needs to pass the exam—and win real-world engagements. ⸻ 🔥 What’s Inside the OSCP Playbook 1️⃣ Enumeration Flow Like a Pro • Use nmap, gobuster, nikto, and enum4linux in a structured recon chain. • Enumerate services and identify weak entry points before touching Metasploit. 2️⃣ Web & Service Exploitation • Manual SQLi, XSS, and file upload abuse. • Exploit RCEs, LFI, and CVEs with proof-of-concept tailoring. 3️⃣ Linux Privilege Escalation • SUID/GUID hunting: find / -perm -4000 -type f 2>/dev/null • Misconfigured cron jobs and writable scripts = root. 4️⃣ Windows Privilege Escalation • Use winPEAS, PowerUp, and DLL hijacking to elevate. • Don’t forget Unquoted Service Paths and AlwaysInstallElevated abuses. 5️⃣ Buffer Overflows • Custom exploit writing from fuzzing to shell execution. • Practice using Immunity Debugger, Mona.py, and pattern_create/offset. 6️⃣ Post-Exploitation & Reporting • Get persistence, loot creds, and maintain stealth. • Document every step—your report is your exploit write-up. ⸻ 💡 Red Team Pro Tip The OSCP isn’t about tool mastery—it’s about your ability to think like an adversary under pressure. Treat every exam box like a real-world target—and remember: enumeration wins wars. Who else here survived the OSCP gauntlet? Let’s trade war stories. 👇 #RedTeam #OSCP #PenTesting #EthicalHacking #CyberSecurity #PrivilegeEscalation #BufferOverflow #InfoSec #TryHarder

Oscp was not a joke. I spent a year preparing for it. I attended a few training schools in India. I have to hack practically all of the Oscp machines on hackthebox, which are listed on YouTube. The main exam was over. Oscp is all about Hacking AD and it wasn’t easy in one day. I would recommend CEH and pentest+ before oscp.

For AD we only have to do privilege escalation for 10 points on machine 1?

OSCP has become the CEH, its literally trash

This OSCP playbook sounds like a solid roadmap for success, I will save it for my future GitHub projects.
