After getting my OSEP in January 2026, I dived straight into my OSWE prep and successfully passed the exam with 4/4 flags in March 2026. It was a completely different experience comparing to OSCP & OSEP, and I definitely learnt a lot about AppSec & code review. As usual, I will share my insights and resources here, hoping it can help you in your journey.

I strive to give full credits to the original authors, as well as explaining the concepts in my own words. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you find anything inaccurate, inappropriate or without proper credit.

The project is still in development, and you can expect more refined content over time.
