My Background before taking the exams

My current job as a penetration tester is focused on the offensive aspect of security, which is also the first area where I started my career in the information security industry. Now, I still enjoy the offensive side of security very much.

As a penetration tester, it is almost mandatory to have the Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) certification, so if you like the offensive side of security, go for their Penetration Testing with Kali (PWK) course and “try harder”, the examination is hands-on and the number of things you get to learn from it is enormous. If you’re interested, check out My OSCP / PWK Course Review where I share my OSCP journey and also some tips to pass the exams and also to get started more effectively.
