OSCP Reborn - 2023 Exam Preparation Guide

Many of you are likely aware that the Offensive Security Certified Professional Exam was revised, with the changes officially published on January 11, 2022. The old version of the exam required the student to perform a buffer overflow attack (it still may end up on your exam, but is not a guarantee). Since then, the model has shifted towards an active directory model which is more aligned with modern day penetration testing.

The original plan was to completely sunset the OSCP preparation guides. LaGarian Smith who passed the OSCP in April of 2022, volunteered to review and cross check my active directory resources against the modern exam, and add his own methodology. Thus, OSCP Reborn came to fruition.

It’s important to note that the predecessor to this guide, was segmented into several sections to explain various aspects of penetration testing to all skill levels. Rather than revise the old guide, there will be a brief section in this guide that redirects new hackers to basic resources if they are learning and not specifically ready for OSCP preparation. While the guide briefly covers resources for beginner hackers - it’s not primary goal of this resource. I’ve just learned from previous guides that beginners almost always stumble upon the OSCP guide, and don’t know where to start overall.
