CHANGES TO THE OSCP

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Offsec has announced changes to the exam format of the OSCP exam including the elimination of bonus points and an assumed breach model for the Active Directory portion. It has also introduced the OSCP+ designation, which will require recipients to renew their certification via CPEs, retake the exam, or earn a higher level cert every 3 years to maintain the + distinction. The community is split on reactions to the announcement, with some feeling that the OSCP+ is a cash grab and that the AD changes are too easy, while others are celebrating that the certification will now fulfill DoD requirements.
