Locked In is an independent knowledge companion for people preparing for OffSec's hands-on OSCP+ assessment. It is designed for short study sessions between lab practice: every lesson is focused, and the curriculum includes quick checks to reinforce recall. WHAT'S INSIDE • 104 lessons across five editorial study domains: methodology and reporting, reconnaissance, web and service exploitation, privilege escalation, and Active Directory and tunneling • Visual explanations for selected concepts • 49 inline quick checks • 74 original multiple-choice practice questions • 13 original PBQ-style categorizing, matching, and ordering activities built for this app • A 60-question, 60-minute timed knowledge check with flag-for-review and final review • 88 flashcards with spaced-repetition review • A free, searchable glossary of 75 plain-language definitions (commands, flags and hashcat modes are in the flashcards) • On-device progress, streaks, bookmarks, and personal notes • Review tools for missed questions and due flashcards WHO IT'S FOR • Pentesters preparing for OSCP or OSCP+ • Learners studying alongside PEN-200 and authorized lab practice • Career changers studying alongside a day job • Anyone who prefers short, focused study sessions IMPORTANT The real OSCP exam is a proctored, hands-on penetration test, not a multiple-choice exam. OffSec currently allows 23 hours 45 minutes for the exam and 24 additional hours for the report. The current scoring model is 100 points total: three standalone machines provide up to 60 points and the Active Directory set provides 40 points; 70 points are required to pass. Always verify the current OffSec Exam Guide before exam day. This app's five-domain percentages are an editorial study mix, not an OffSec exam blueprint. Its questions, timed practice, and PBQ-style activities are original in-app learning tools, not official OffSec items, an exam simulation, or a passing prediction. Hands-on lab practice remains essential. WHY LOCKED IN • Bundled lessons and practice work offline • No account, analytics, tracking, advertising, or third-party SDKs • App Store product loading, buying, and restoring require a network connection • One-time Full Unlock purchase; no subscription PRIVACY Progress, bookmarks, notes, and study history are stored on-device. The app does not collect or sell personal data. DISCLAIMER Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by OffSec. OSCP is a trademark of OffSec Services Limited.
