The most accepted path on this forum is ejpt>eccpt>oscp. -

Everyone else's advice is good. I would just recommend to reverse that order and learn Linux>Bash>Python.Have: CISSP, CISM, CISA, CRISC, eJPT, GCIA, GSEC, CCSP, CCSK, AWS CSAA, AWS CCP, OCI Foundations Associate, ITIL-F, MS Cyber Security - USF, BSBA - UF, MSISA - WGU
Currently Working On: Python, OSCP Prep
Next Up: OSCP
Studying: Code Academy (Python), Bash Scripting, Virtual Hacking Lab Coursework -

The eCPPT course is a different story. It'll help if you know some C/C++, PHP and Ruby. Although they cover Ruby in the course.
The test requires a written report, which they provide a sample of during the course.
Both exams have time limits.Booya!!
WIP : | CISSP [2018] | CISA [2018] | CAPM [2018] | eCPPT [2018] | CRISC [2019] | TORFL (TRKI) B1 | Learning: | Russian | Farsi |

Funny thing is the OSCP is actually considered a beginner pentesting certification. Don't skip any sections of the course, it's there for a reason. You also put the web app courses in that list, I'd suggest learning JavaScript, PHP and other web languages. It'll help you a lot in the long run. -
aakashc1 Member Posts: 41 ■■□□□□□□□□Thanks to everyone.
So, as python is already going on and learned some basics beside classes/oops and defactors
Now as suggestions i will start soon learning linux then bash.
For linux is LPIC 1&2 is better or Comptia Linux+ ? Because free videos on both available
About web app programming,I already know PHP(basics),JS(basics),MySQL(basics),HTML,CSS,
Once i made vulnerable lab related to sql injection to practice though that website where i coded that lab and hosted there closed in 2014
I already know website development.
Thanks
