About EXP-401 and the OSEE exam

EXP-401 is OffSec's most challenging and advanced course, designed for experienced penetration testers who are ready to tackle complex exploit development. Through in-depth, hands-on labs, learners explore security mitigation bypasses, complex heap manipulations, and 64-bit kernel exploitation, all applied to large, widely used enterprise applications.

AWE is a particularly demanding penetration testing course, requiring a significant amount of learner-instructor interaction. Therefore, we limit AWE courses to an in-person, hands-on environment.

As the most complex course we offer, the EXP-401 requires a significant time investment. Learners need to commit to reading case studies and reviewing the provided reading material each evening. We recommend completing the 300-level certifications before registering for this course.

Upon completing EXP-401, students may attempt the OffSec Exploitation Expert (OSEE) exam. The 72-hour exam challenges learners to discover and exploit unknown vulnerabilities in a controlled virtual lab, and requires submission of a detailed penetration test report that documents techniques, tools, and results. The OSEE exam assesses not only the course content, but also the ability to think laterally and adapt to new challenges.

The exam requires a stable, high-speed internet connection.
