Question

After OSWP-style lab time ends, the candidate has a limited window to upload a PDF report archived as a .7z with a strict filename pattern. What submission hygiene matters most?

Accepted Answer

Follow OffSec filename, format, and upload-portal rules; wrong packaging can prevent grading entirely. — The upload ritual is picky on purpose—right archive type, right name, right portal, right window. Creative emailing or wrong wrappers can mean “never graded.” Hygiene is part of the exam.

Answer

Any ZIP emailed to a personal account counts if sent within a week.

Answer

Upload only raw PCAP files with no PDF because archives are optional.

Answer

Rename the archive after the deadline so it sorts to the top of the queue.
