During the OSCP, should I use Metasploit? And there's a lot of factors that go into that and it's probably something you should start to think about before you are in the exam. So when you're in the environment, the lab environment for PWK and you look at the forums, many people obviously say, don't use Metasploit. You may see old boxes with exploits like EternalBlue. So what I would do is I would find a non-metasploit way to exploit the EternalBlue vulnerability and go from there because, again, when you're not relying on Metasploit, you're reading code and modifying code and having to take additional steps, which I think will translate nicely into OSCP day when, you know, when you're trying to find the correct exploit code and you have some comfort in knowing well, in the labs, I've done them without…
