OSCE - what do you need to know before taking this class?

uyen_nguyen

Hello all, I am concerning about cracking the perimeter course by Offensive Security and later OSCE certification (if I can tolerant 48 hours and have a good ability). So far, I know
1. C, C++
2. Assembly Language
3. Python
4. Perl
5. Javascript.
6. Ruby
7. PHP
8. bash
and know reverse engineering, malware analysis. Which additional things do I need to know in advance before I take Cracking the perimeter course to understand the class content?
Thank you in advance.

How well do you know these subjects? Have you taken the OSCP course? Do you have work experience involving editing/writing exploits?

You definitely do know more than the basics...I'd dare to say you are ready for it.

Thank you for your suggesting, but as I already have GAWN (Auditing the Wireless Network) so I think OSWF will be a duplication. OSWF is a nice cert to have so I will think about it when I have free time.

I do the pen test and audit for living. I haven't taken the OSCP course yet as I am doing the GWAPT cert. For the exploitation, im okay at it, not master but not a newbie.

If that's the case, I would definitely take the course.

Assembly, PHP, Python, Bash <- in that order.

Thank you ipchain, I have to reenforce my brain again and hopefully I can take it before this Christmas. OSCE is so awesome to have.
