KLCP Exam (PEN-103) - Notes
Kali Linux Certified Professional (KLCP) Exam – Overview & Insights
The Kali Linux Certified Professional (KLCP) (PEN-103) Exam, provided by OffSec, covers a vast range of topics related to Kali Linux, one of the most widely used operating systems among hackers and penetration testers. This exam primarily focuses on customizing Kali Linux for different use cases, making it a valuable learning experience for those looking to enhance their knowledge of the OS.
How I Got the KLCP Exam Voucher
I received my KLCP exam voucher for free as part of the Learn One subscription, which I purchased for the OSCP+ exam. If you're considering the Learn One subscription, you'll get this exam as an add-on at no extra cost.
Exam Format & Details
Number of Questions: 80 MCQs
Time Limit: 90 minutes
Exam Type: Proctored (online, monitored test)
Why I Created These Notes
Let's be honest—while OffSec's official KLCP course content is highly detailed, it can feel overly theoretical and a bit dry. To make things more engaging, I used AI to summarize key topics and highlight the most important concepts. These notes serve as a quick reference guide but should not be your sole preparation resource.
Should You Pay for the KLCP Exam Voucher?
If you have 1–2 years of hands-on experience with Kali Linux, you can easily pass this exam. But is it worth spending money on the voucher? Not really. While the KLCP exam and course do teach useful skills, having this certification on your résumé won’t make a major impact career-wise.
However, if you're already investing in OffSec's Learn One subscription, you'll get the KLCP exam for free, making it a worthwhile learning experience. But I wouldn’t recommend spending dedicated money on it otherwise.
Final Thoughts
Use these notes as a supplementary guide, not your primary study material. They cover essential topics but may not include everything from the official course. Good luck with your KLCP exam preparation !!!
