Wow. No disrespect to many other people who posted about OSCP preps but this is really ... elevated. And privilege. Don’t know if you were just being “nice” but if you find time to make that shell scripting video it would be a great help. Yes, I have several tutorials/courses that follow regular intro/variables/statements etc... but it is very different when you get pointers in specific area. Again.. great, detailed and very comprehensive video. Thanks man.
