When you’ve been hearing everywhere that OSCP is ‘so hard’, even by experienced people that do crazy things, and then John “oscp is just the tip of the iceberg... 😐

[rivhaaken]

Just wanted to leave a big Thank You here John. Amazing guy with amazing content!

[ITSecurityLabs]

Thank you for this video. I watched it all. Today marks day one on my journey to the OSEP, I love this hands on learning and getting better everyday

[zhumzhum]

Obsidian looks very similar to Joplin which is what I've been using. I think Obsidian has a better looking interface. Congrats on getting the OSCE, and thanks for coming to speak at my college a week before your exam.

As someone who's currently studying the basics (networks, programming and such) to get in to this line of work, this channel is great. Not only do you get awesome videos like this, you also get videos with pentesting on online resources. The school I'm in prepares for the students to be able to take the CEH cert, which isn't great - but at least it allows you to see pentesting on the horizon and can be a stepping stone into getting real actual certs. Looking forward to the day where I have studied, practiced and studied some more to have OSEP and other certs.

John you have been an inspiration for people getting started! You've been educational and entertaining. Loving the new intro and outro, really been stepping up the game! Keep up the amazing content!

[twinsecurity]

Thanks for the insight! I've felt like the OSCP is great for getting your feet wet with pentesting tools and techniques, but isn't a substitute for real-world experience. It's nice to know there's a more advanced course that accounts for the type of security and configurations found in enterprise environments.

[dxdarrel]

Sir, you're just not a content creator, you're a great teacher, a true inspiration. Thank you! I have a little bit more courage for taking OSCP.

[luigiceleste]

Thank you John. I applied recently to OSEP course and I wanted to listen from who already experienced this path. First off, congratulations for how fast you passed this huge challenge. Then I would like to say that I love the passion that transpires from your words and your eyes when you talk about pentesting and hacking. It just makes me want to get up from my bed again and keep studying after a long day passed over the course. And also you well said: the coolest thing that comes out from these experiences are that everything is tangible, security is done effectively, and not spoken in a seminary (thing that I hate). This is in my opinion the biggest value of being a pentester.
Thanks again for your valuable contents, my best wishes from Italy 🇮🇹

Spoiler alert: John Hammond is just being John Hammond, don't expect anything less. This dude is basically a genius

Edit: Oh huge congrats again on the results!

[JohnSvazic]

First off, congratulations! Secondly, thanks for this. I was on my way back to OffSec for certs, and this is exactly what I was looking for in terms of what this new cert involved. I'm sold.

[zanidd]

Awesome. Congratulations. I plan on taking the OSCP after I finish my degree in summer

[ITachi_.]

John bro, the world is a better place with you doing all of this free help to the ones in need. Keep inspiring man, much appreciate everything!

[ChaseHatch]

Been waiting for this... taking the OSWE in March, trying to get it out of the way so I can get to this!

[nightx]

I'm glad I cam across this video. Have not taken any of the offsec certifications but currently taking the ine certifications. I learned alot by just watching your video. Gotta start taking notes using obsidian.

[roxanakovaci]

Great video! I love how representative this course is for a wide range of different cyber-security roles (started to apply what I've learnt during OSEP in my day-to-day job straightaway). Thanks for the great content and pieces of advice! Will definitely put them in practice soon for my own exam.

[realityth]

This was very enlightening, I plan to take this course because it seems like a great deal of knowledge can be gained.

[DrGamer]

I seriously can't tell how much i have learned from this guy. He is extremely talented and more importantly a good person we all got to know. Thank you john and congratulations for the result

[bhupenderbhardwaj]

Big Congratulations to you John ! You walk the talk.. There are not too many people who are knowledgeable, Hands-on, accredited and also Share the knowledge ! InspiringCyberLeader !

[dropcake]

Awesome work John. Great info. Aiming for OSCP before summer starts
