Question 1

Does Macksofy provide training for every Offensive Security certification?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Macksofy runs hands-on exam-prep bootcamps that cover the full Offensive Security certification stack: PEN-200 / OSCP+, PEN-300 / OSEP, WEB-200 / OSWA, WEB-300 / OSWE, PEN-210 / OSWP, EXP-301 / OSED, EXP-312 / OSMR, SOC-200 / OSDA and SEC-100 / OSCC. Each bootcamp bundles official OffSec course enrolment with a structured 60–80 hour Macksofy mentor-led programme.

Question 2

Which Offensive Security certification should I take first in 2026?

Accepted Answer

Career switchers / beginners: SEC-100 (OSCC) for foundations, then OSCP+ (PEN-200). Working pen-testers / CEH holders: jump straight to OSCP+. SOC analysts and defenders: OSCP+ first if you'll do red-team, otherwise SOC-200 (OSDA). Web-focused careers: OSWA → OSWE. Reverse engineers: OSED.

Question 3

What does a Macksofy Offensive Security bootcamp include?

Accepted Answer

Each Macksofy OffSec bootcamp includes (a) official OffSec course enrolment + lab access, (b) a 60–80 hour Macksofy instructor-led bootcamp aligned to the current OffSec syllabus, (c) two full mock exams under timed conditions, (d) 1:1 weak-area reviews, and (e) mentor-until-pass support across first attempt and any retakes. Talk to our advisors for the current Indian pricing — EMI options across 3/6/12 months are available.

Question 4

What is OSCP+ and how is it different from the old OSCP?

Accepted Answer

OSCP+ is OffSec's rebrand of the OSCP exam that took effect late 2024. The new format dropped the buffer-overflow box, expanded the Active Directory set (a full ~40-point AD chain), replaced bonus lab points with CPE-based 3-year recertification, and tightened reporting standards. All Macksofy OffSec bootcamps are aligned to the OSCP+ format.

Question 5

Are Offensive Security exams recognised in UAE / Dubai?

Accepted Answer

Yes — OSCP, OSCP+, OSEP, OSWA, OSWE and OSDA are all explicitly listed by UAE banking regulators, ADGM- and DIFC-licensed entities and major UAE consulting firms. Macksofy delivers Offensive Security cohorts to clients in Dubai and Abu Dhabi via online + corporate-batch options.

Question 6

Can I attempt an Offensive Security exam without taking the course?

Accepted Answer

Some certs (OSCP+, OSEP, OSWA, OSWE) require an OffSec course; others (OSWP) historically allowed standalone exams. Policies change — check the official OffSec page or ask Macksofy for the current 2026 stance per certification.

Question 7

Does Macksofy support remote / online OffSec training across India?

Accepted Answer

Yes — live online cohorts pan-India for every Offensive Security cert, plus corporate-batch delivery on-site at client offices in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Gurugram, Noida and Dubai.

Question 8

What is Macksofy's mentor-until-pass policy?

Accepted Answer

Macksofy's mentor-until-pass policy means once you enrol in any of our Offensive Security bootcamps, our mentors continue to support you — through your first attempt and any retakes — at no additional cost until you clear the exam. Includes 1:1 weak-area reviews and exam-strategy sessions.

What's the Offensive Security career path roadmap from beginner to expert?
