Once you submit your report, the waiting begins. You will receive your exam results by email. If you submitted a report and had insufficient points to pass, your results email will provide your exam score. Remember that you cannot discuss any specific details of the exam content online or on forums, as this violates OffSec's academic policy. Instead, use the time to reflect on your process and, if needed, plan your next attempt.

Detail how you combined multiple low-severity or medium-severity flaws into a critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) vector.

List each vulnerability with title, risk rating, affected endpoint(s), and brief evidence.

Let’s break down the single most important unit of your : the vulnerability entry.

Pinpoint the exact lines of code responsible for the vulnerability. Explain why the code is insecure (e.g., lack of input validation, unsafe function usage).

Show exactly how you gained local file read access or remote code execution, including screenshots of the retrieved files (like flag files or configuration files).

If you have all three, the vulnerability is .

Take a single screenshot showing the command execution ( id , whoami , or hostname ) alongside the contents of the flag file. Phase 2: The Assembly Phase (Post-Exam)

To pass the OSWE, your scripts must be fully automated. A script that requires manual intervention mid-way through execution will likely result in a point deduction. Scripting Best Practices

Missing required elements—such as a specific screenshot, an explanation of code logic, or a fully functional script—can result in an automatic failure. Therefore, treat your reporting time with the same intensity as your exploitation time. Step-by-Step Strategy: Preparing During the Exam
