Hello All,
I recently posted about beginning OSCP and I have decided to persue Virtual Hacking Labs over eJPT. I have decided to make myself a plan in 3 phases for my overall OSCP journey which you can find below!
If anyone has any good recommendations for learning Bash & Python I would appreciate that.
Job Experience : 2 Years in Apprentice/Junior Network Support Role
Certifications: CCENT (Hopefully I will be CCNA by end of the month)
Info Sec: Fairly Basic Knowledge
Phase 1
Phase 3

I have recently completed my ICND2 and finalized up my CCNA which means I can finally get started on my OSCP Journey and try pivot from networking into security!
I have just picked up a VIP membership on https://practicalpentestlabs.com/dashboard/ which so far looks to be a great starting resource.
Once I have finished up the VIP Labs on practical pen test labs I will probably try a few of the Non-VIP Labs before buying myself a 3 month membership on Virtual Hacking Labs.
Providing I hit the ground running with VHL I will pay the lovely OSCP Fee!
If anyone has any other tips, resources to use then feel free to shout!
So it begins!
