Now that I am an OSCP (Offensive Security Certified Professional) and have a few minutes to spare, I decided to share my thoughts on the BackTrack 101 course which I took to get OSCP.

I'll be brief. BackTrack 101 is just as it implies in the name -- an entry level course. Sounds boring already? It isn't. Although it covers basic level concepts, it is rather in-depth, comprehensive, very much hands-on and, in the end, practical. From information gathering, to fuzzing and exploit development, to SQL injections. Like I said, nothing really advanced, but gives an excellent foundation. That's what the course is really all about -- giving a solid foundation and letting the students to build on that. I think that really shows with the OSCP challenge, which I won't say anything more about.

I'm glad I took the course and the challenge.
