Introduction:

This program is designed to prepare participants for the certification exam only.

The OffSec Certified Professional (OSCP) certification represents a global standard for offensive security expertise. It focuses on structured penetration testing methodologies, vulnerability analysis, and ethical exploitation across network and application environments. This training program presents core concepts in penetration testing, scripting for automation, and structured assessment techniques, emphasizing decision making models and evaluative structures relevant to ethical offensive security roles.

Program Objectives:

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

Identify the core structures of penetration testing frameworks used in OSCP methodologies.
Classify vulnerabilities across network, system, and application environments.
Analyze systemic weaknesses through structured reconnaissance and enumeration.
Structure scripting logic to align with offensive security protocols.
Prepare for the OSCP certification examination.

Targeted Audience:

Penetration testers and ethical hackers.
Cybersecurity professionals seeking OSCP level knowledge.
Network and system administrators.
Security analysts and information assurance personnel.
