oscp exam restriction

i just read about oscp exam restriction https://support.offensive-security.com/#!oscp-exam-guide.md#Exam_Restrictions:_Metasploit
[FONT="]If you decide to use Metasploit or Meterpreter on a specific target and the attack fails, then you [/FONT]may not[FONT="] attempt to use it on a second target. In other words, the use of Metasploit and Meterpreter becomes locked in as soon as you decide to use either one of them.
are we really need metasploit or dont need that for exam ?[/FONT]

So, in the end whether you need Metasploit or not depends upon YOU!!!
thats the thing which is i'm bit worry and confuse, are they need we like sniper ? 1 bullet 1 headshoot ?
1. Does it mean either of the ones can be used in target?
2. When I use Multi/handler & setting up the reverse shell, we setup payload/windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp, then set up Parameters, then executing thru the web or some way we get a reverse shell. At this point, it creates and provides a Meterpreter session. Is this only allowed to use in one machine?
I'm lost a bit when Offsec says Metasploit / Meterpreter can be used on only one machine? I take it as either of the ones can be used in one machine.
Please clarify me
Cheers
Using handler is allowed like reverse shell etc, but when we use "use payload/ etc.... etc" , then it is counted as Metasploit full usage / or "use payload/ etc....etc in Meterpreter session is counted as similarly. Either the one can be used... Hope my understanding is ok?
Cheers
anyway if i download exploit from exploit db then compile it and run to hack the machine, it's allowed or not ?
Vynx, based on this post (and your other posts here), OSCP may not be a good idea to pursue. The OSCP requires a TON of research outside of the coursework, and really good research skills too. Posts like these don't indicate research is a strong point for you. During the PWK coursework people won't be there to answer basic questions. What is your background and certs if you don't mind me asking? Id hate to see you waste $800-1000 on the PWK course.

I may be in the minority opinion, and others feel free to chime in, but I don't think the OSCP is the right choice. I would look at eLearnSecurity's PTSv3 course and eJPT certification. Then after that evaluate if you're ready for OSCP.

i have take it and pass it ... now i'm in the middle to take eCPPT or OSCP ...
What certs do you have?
What is your background?
What have you studied so far in preparation for the OSCP?
i believe whatever the background, as long as have passion and spirit + Try Harder
i prefer preparing future OSCP
so far what i'm do, trying some vulnhub vm, HTB vm and after that maybe learning BO
