OSCP ⚔️ CPTS

CPTS is only a year and a half old — December 2022 was the first month it ever existed. That's most likely the main reason why nobody in HR knows about it. Give it 5 years and it'll probably replace the OSCP in most job descriptions at that point.

The best use case for the CPTS, and this is why I'm on the path to it as the next certification after CEH in my portfolio, has got to be future-proofing. Sure OSCP has more clout for now, but it probably won't for much longer.

I completely agree with you on the OSCP videos. I completely ignored them and only used the text-based guides/lessons. It was also helpful to just be able to re-read sections or control-F certain terms instead of having to rewind or seek through the videos.

You had me in the first sentence. You have the right mindset, and great knowledge. Gonna watch the rest tonight.

I took the OSCP cert during the beginning of COVID. I didn't pass, but i learned a lot. I ended up getting a job doing network administration, so i was away from doing anything offensive for 2 years. I heard about the CPTS, being a long-time HTB user, and decided to give it a shot. I have to say that i am impressed, and I'm only a fraction of a way through the course material. I do plan on getting my OSCP, but after the CPTS

I myself have my eyes set of the CPTS training since HTB Academy is so good. I had the exact plan of first doing the CPTS training then attempting the OSCP exam.

Thank you for this. I have been trying to figure out which direction I wanted to go. I have completed my BS degree in CyberSecurity, so I was working on the next steps. I was looking at OSCP, but the CPTS seems more my style... This was very helpful. Thank you again.
I look forward to seeing what else you bring to the YouTube community.

I have resolved many doubts with this video. My English is not very well, but I understood you well. I have feel that you pronounce very clearly. And that you explain with a smile is perfect!. Thank you

[kuji]

I subscribed in HTB Academy after this video to get the CPTS!
Thank you so much PinkDraconian!

[NrutoUzumaki]

Good to see you back ❤
I've learnt a lot on AD pentesting from your videos

[AbuBakar-zrov]

Just came across your video searching OSCP. I liked it and you covered a lot useful insights. Thank you

After watching this video for 6 times and preparing for 5 month+ I'm happy to share that I'm now CPTS certified and have started my job search in the UK(the market is quite tough around the world for entry level pentesters). But I'm quite positive and will aim for an Offsec cert soon if HR's don't recognise the cert soon. It's sad how the OSCP munches so much money out of our pocket just to give us unstable labs and 24 hours of proctored torture.

Great video! Thank you! It helps me a lot with the decision what certification to take next :)

[climbingislife]

That was such a cool video dude, so much good advice packed in this video, I'm going for both but focusing on CPTS for the true skills 💪

Thanks for the video, definitely the price for me is something to take into account, because with a monthly salary of ~~300 usd (latam), imagine having to save for the OSCP exam, for now I am going to take the ejptv2 in December (150 USD) and then I will see if I can save up for the CPTS or some other certification that will help me get my first job in pentesting/IT.

I have started the OSCP course, and I find it very lacking. I'm ignoring most sections because they only cover the basics, except for a few that are quite interesting and touch on topics that HTB Academy did not explain (though, again, it's mostly very basic information). I completed my Pentester Path a few months ago (it took my like 9 months, coming from very basic knowledge about pentesting), and it was amazing for such a low price. I highly recommend it to all my colleagues because you gain so much knowledge from it. I'll be taking my OSCP exam in the coming weeks, followed by the CPTS.
P.S.: Love your videos! I discovered your channel looking for a tutorial on reversing and stayed for the quality

Hi I like this video. I'm a first year CS student and thought I would go for OSCP but it's just way too costly compared to CPTS.

I'm thinking of going for CPTS as personal growth and its real world application is so much more worth it to me. My end career is AppSec so I'm trying to go from pentesting to AppSec. Thanks for providing this video.

I got my PNPT, and that's the certification I care about. I'm going for OSCP almost EXCLUSIVELY because it is widely recognized and gets attention. I couldn't sit through the course material because I'm fairly certain based on what I've heard I can pass without it, and the course structure is bad even after the revamp. Offsec really needs to sit down and re-evaluate their business model, though they probably won't do so until HR and employers get wise to the current pentesting cert trends. I can also agree, HTB Academy's course material is absolutely killer. The passionate people are over there.

[RexEntertainment]

I'm also currently doing the OSCP (company sponsored) and while I still have to take the exam, you pretty much sum up my impression so far. I'm quite disappointed by it.

[seunghwanyoon]

Great content! This makes me rethink about what cert I should go for.

[ellehooq]

Thanks for your guidance. I'm a beginner going for both. This helps a lot
