INTRODUCTION

The certification exam contains a small number of wireless networks of varying configurations and you must recover the wireless keys for all of them in order to earn the OSWP certification. Everything that you need to retrieve the wireless keys is included in the exam system.

You will have 3 hours and 45 minutes to complete the challenge itself and a further 24 hours to send your documentation to the Offensive Security Challenges department.

DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS

Your exam documentation must include the wireless network keys and the commands you used to obtain them. The report must be submitted in PDF format.

HOW DO I TAKE THE CERTIFICATION EXAM?

You will connect to the OSWP exam lab over an SSH connection. You are assigned a BackTrack 5 system with an Alfa USB card that you are to use for the attacks. In order to ensure you do not lose any work during the exam, we recommend that students use the screen utility while doing the exam in the event the SSH connection is dropped.

HOW DO I SCHEDULE MY CERTIFICATION EXAM?

You can schedule your exam using the link that was provided to you in your welcome pack. If you’re unable to locate it, please contact our Orders department and they will be happy to re-send it to you. Using the link, you are able to see when there is a free slot in our exam lab, allowing you to select a date that suits you.

WHAT IS THE DEADLINE TO TAKE MY EXAM?

You have 120 days from the start of your course to schedule and take the exam.
