The OSCP is one of the best-known pentesting certifications around. It requires complete, practical hacking skills— not a multiple-choice test, but a real attack simulation in a fictitious company’s infrastructure. It really doesn’t get any more practical than this. Read Paul's full interview

Persistence in the Face of Obstacles

Ygor Bittencourt

Ygor Bittencourt

Offensive Security Leader

Try Harder is a reminder that the challenges you encounter, whether while preparing for certifications like OSCP, OSCE3, or in your daily cybersecurity work, require continuous effort and determination to solve.

It's about:

  • Not giving up easily: Answers are often not obvious and require creativity and persistence.
  • Embracing discomfort: Real learning happens outside of your comfort zone, tackling problems that seem unsolvable.

The "try harder" mentality fits the OSCP journey very well—not because it's impossible, but because it demands persistence and the refusal to give up.
