Is OSCP good for beginners?
An incredible book, this is a must read for beginners. It acts as an excellent segue into the PwK course as it is a technical guide walking readers through the basics of penetration testing. Georgia’s accompanying video series on Cybrary, titled Advanced Penetration Testing is also useful.
Can a penetration tester use the OSCP certification?
With the OSCP, if you’re not a skilled penetration tester with strong networking and Linux skills, you won’t even know where to start. The OSCP is really a strictly penetration testing certification, focusing on the red team aspects of this cybersecurity niche.
Can you get a job with the OSCP?
With the OSCP, you should be able, without too much difficulty, to land penetration testing interviews and jobs. Employers that hire penetration testers should know enough to know that you have at least a basic penetration testing skillset if you’ve passed the OSCP. The recertification process is different for these two certifications as well.
