You can pass the OSCP without even reading the material. There's so much information freely available online. I practiced on HTB then did the OSCP labs without touching their material and passed on the first go. Free resources are out there. You can be ready before signing up.

@am_xali Generally it goes like: 1. Run amass (provide api keys) 2. Generate permutations of all subdomains 3. Run httpx to find live web servers 4. Run eyewitness to screenshot everything Then I chose a subdomain to hunt on and start digging in with Burp as I would on any normal app.

Just because a course has a price tag doesn't mean it's any better quality or material than what you can find for free. Most of these #infosec Udemy courses were built off of free blog posts anyways.

Here's a tip for pentesting web applications. Instead of relying solely on directory brute forcing, see if there are any videos of someone giving a demo of the application. This can often disclose internal app URLs that might be accessible.
