Oswe Exam Report: Work
### 2.3 Screenshot Workflow
Nothing slows down OSWE exam report work like bad screenshot hygiene.
Let’s break down the single most important unit of your OSWE exam report work: the vulnerability entry. oswe exam report work
| Time | Activity | Report Status |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Hour 1-2 | Enumerate codebase, map input points (forms, cookies, API params) | Create empty sections for each app |
| Hour 3-6 | Find first vulnerability chain | Draft PoC + code snippet immediately |
| Hour 7-12 | Exploit to get RCE or auth bypass | Write exploitation steps while it's fresh |
| Hour 13-18 | Second application | Same process |
| Hour 19-22 | Privilege escalation or second vector | Add to report |
| Hour 22-24 | STOP EXPLOITING – Polish report | Verify screenshots, code snippets, PoCs |
| Hour 24-48 | Sleep, re-test, submit | Final proofread | Robots
Critical rule: Write the report as you hack. Do not leave notes for later. You will forget the exact line number. Let’s break down the single most important unit
