Topics covered in the PEN-200 course
Introduction to Cybersecurity
Master the core concepts, technologies, and best practices that form the bedrock of cybersecurity, providing a solid foundation for your pen testing journey.
Report Writing for Penetration Testers
Learn to craft clear, actionable reports that detail security vulnerabilities, and potential impact, and provide step-by-step remediation guidance to help clients strengthen their security.
Information Gathering
Employ advanced ethical hacking techniques and tools like Nmap and Shodan to meticulously map target systems, uncover potential entry points, and discover exploitable vulnerabilities.
Vulnerability Scanning
Utilize powerful tools like Nessus and OpenVAS to systematically identify known vulnerabilities in networks, applications, and systems, streamlining your penetration testing process.
Introduction to Web Applications
Gain a deep understanding of how web applications function, their underlying technologies, and the architectural weaknesses that give rise to common attack vectors.
Common Web Application Attacks
Explore the techniques behind prevalent web attacks like cross-site scripting (XSS), injection flaws, and session hijacking, and learn essential mitigation strategies.
SQL Injection Attacks
Master the art of manipulating databases via SQL injections to extract sensitive information, compromise backend systems, and escalate your privileges.
Client-Side Attacks
Discover how to exploit vulnerabilities in web browsers, browser extensions, and client-side technologies like JavaScript to compromise user systems and gain unauthorized access.
Locating Public Exploits
Learn where to find reliable public exploits, how to assess their applicability, and how to integrate them responsibly into your security testing workflow.
Fixing Exploits
Adapt and customize existing exploits, employ obfuscation techniques, and develop creative payloads to bypass defenses and successfully test target systems.
The PEN-200 course is ideal for security professionals seeking to enhance their ethical hacking skills and earn the industry-recognized OSCP pen testing certification. It’s designed for individuals who have a solid foundation in networking and basic familiarity with Linux and Windows systems.

Approach
This course will teach you the "Try Harder" methodology and mindset, essential for every cybersecurity professional.
Certificate
The course ends with an exam, the successful completion of which results in the awarding of the OffSec Certified Professional (OSCP) certificate.
Exam
- PEN-200 course and online labs will prepare you for OSCP certification - The exam lasts 23 hours 45 minutes - The exam is supervised
While there are no formal prerequisites, it is strongly recommended that you have:
- A solid foundation in TCP/IP networking - Basic scripting skills (e.g. Bash, Python) - Familiarity with Linux and Windows operating systems
OSCP+
The OSCP+ certification is issued upon successful completion of an exam that can be taken anytime after November 1, 2024. Candidates who pass the exam demonstrate proficiency in identifying vulnerabilities, exploiting systems, escalating privileges, and documenting their results in a realistic environment. The certification is important for roles such as penetration testers, security analysts, and consultants, demonstrating their ability to conduct comprehensive security assessments.
OSCP vs. OSCP+
As of November 1, 2024, OffSec has replaced the OSCP exam with an updated version of OSCP+. The changes in the new exam version include:
- Improvements to the Active Directory portion of the exam. - Bonus points removed.
