UPDATES: Highly recommend OffSec Proving Grounds for OSCP preparation! My best ranking in December 2021 is 16 / 2147 students. I share my writeups of 50+ old PG Practice machines (please send a request):

========================================
To prepare for my future job as a security pentester, I plan to get the certificate OSCP next year. Before taking the exam, I need to take the course Penetration Testing with Kali Linux (PWK) provided by Offensive Security. This repo contains my notes of the journey and also keeps track of my progress.
