OSCP-Exam-Report-Template-Markdown VS OSCP-Exam-Report-Template

Thank you! Yes, I used https://github.com/noraj/OSCP-Exam-Report-Template-Markdown and included vulnerability details, as well as how to fix the vulnerability and it got lengthy which I think was unnecessary, but I tried to make it nice and be thorough. I probably should've put more time in trying to fix the other issues I had but oh well.

I am in the process of redacting my report. In fact, I have already documented all 10 machines and all exercises in the lab. However, i have still a question regarding the expected content of it, as the official template as well as some famous templates such as this one mention a whole introduction section containing among all introduction, objectives, requirements, methodologies...

Here a good starting point: https://github.com/noraj/OSCP-Exam-Report-Template-Markdown

Also you can take a look at the OSWE Exam Report Template in Markdown I you prefer to avoid Word.

I wrote my reports in Markdown using the format here. I researched more about pandoc and decided to convert my Markdown documents to docx first, edit them in LibreOffice (Page Breaks, better Table of Contents), and export them to PDF for submission Test your report conversion before the exam. This helped me figure out issues with my report conversion before the exam (issues with special characters in my terminal), and switch to a system that works. Another good report format can be found here, this one provides resources

However things I did do right was to right the whole thing in markdown in obsidian. I used flameshot to get all my screenshots and converted the markdown to a pdf with eisvogel using this GitHub as a template https://github.com/noraj/OSCP-Exam-Report-Template-Markdown

I had never done any formal pentesting reports like this one, so I kind of learned it on the fly. The whoisflynn template came in clutch for me, since I just had to follow the instructions laid out and copy paste whatever I needed to. Don’t underestimate this part of the exam, and do some planning beforehand to make sure you’re comfortable and have enough time. There isn’t an upper limit to detail in the report, and I was sure I was very detailed in my writeups.

Was easy to be honest. The way I work was to create reports for all boxes I did in the PWK, proving grounds and HTB as if they were real engagements. I used a template in Joplin I found here https://github.com/whoisflynn/OSCP-Exam-Report-Template. During my practice I would document my findings as I went through and edited out things I didn't need.

As for the report, I used this template, and removed most sections such as remediation, and added another section for common tools that I used that needs to leave a link to (i.e. Nishang's repo, Feroxbuster, AutoRecon, etc.)

I used https://github.com/whoisflynn/OSCP-Exam-Report-Template for my report

I had the same thing, the template looks very differently from what I would've done on my own. In the end I decided to follow the template (or more specifically, this version, since it made more sense to me) as closely as possible, only diverging when I had to, for instance when there were certain vulnerabilities I had to exploit before I could do the actual exploit that I used to obtain a shell, but that didn't allow me to obtain a shell themselves directly. In those cases I put those explanations in the initial description.
