The OSCP is a hands-on exam. You get a set of machines, a time limit and a report to write, and the Active Directory part is where many candidates lose the most time.
Rootpanther is built for that part. You launch a private lab of real machines, connect from your own Kali and work it the way the exam is taken: find the hosts, break in, capture the flags, write the report.
Onyx, the AI mentor, is there when you want it and silent when you do not. Every run records how much help you used, so your progress shows what you can really do.
