OSWE (WEB-300) is Offensive Security’s white-box web application security certification — the deepest-paid AppSec credential in Hyderabad’s GCC, product-tech, and SaaS markets. Microsoft Hyderabad, Amazon, Oracle, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Phenom, foreign-bank GCC AppSec teams (Bank of America, JPMorgan Hyderabad, Wells Fargo, BNY Mellon), and Big 4 cyber Hyderabad practices hire OSWE-certified engineers into INR 24-38 LPA roles. This page covers Macksofy’s 12-week mentored OSWE bootcamp delivered as live online cohorts and as classroom batches at our Hyderabad branch in Aditya Enclave, Ameerpet.
Course Overview — OSWE (WEB-300) in Hyderabad
Hyderabad’s HITEC City hosts some of the world’s largest global capability centres, a major pharma and life-sciences base, and a fast-scaling fintech and SOC market. OSWE is the benchmark white-box web-exploitation certification — proof you can read source code and chain real application vulnerabilities into working exploits — the exact skill these AppSec and product-security teams struggle to hire. OSWE (WEB-300) is awarded by OffSec after a 48-hour practical exam; Macksofy delivers it as an independent exam-prep bootcamp with source-code-review labs and Hyderabad-context case studies for application-security engineers, web pentesters and bug-bounty hunters.
Macksofy is not an Offensive Security Authorized Training Partner; this is an independent mentor-led prep program for the OffSec certification exam.
Why Hyderabad cybersecurity professionals need OSWE
Hyderabad is one of the densest white-box AppSec markets in India. Tech-major GCCs (Microsoft Hyderabad, Amazon, Google, Oracle, Salesforce, ServiceNow) plus product-tech firms (Phenom, Cyient, Uber Hyderabad, Tech Mahindra Makers Lab) run continuous source-code review programs against their own platforms — and OSWE is the highest-value technical filter their security-engineering teams use for senior AppSec hires. Hyderabad SaaS unicorns (Phenom, Darwinbox, Skuad) embed AppSec earlier in their SDLC where OSWE-skilled engineers lead architectural reviews.
Foreign-bank GCCs in Hyderabad (Bank of America Hyderabad, JPMorgan Hyderabad, Wells Fargo, BNY Mellon, Goldman Sachs Hyderabad, Citi Hyderabad) staff dedicated source-code-review functions for global production codebases — a role profile where OSWE is one of two-three highest-value certs (alongside Burp Suite Certified Practitioner and SANS GWAPT). Pharma cyber (Dr Reddy’s, Aurobindo, Hetero) increasingly staffs AppSec engineers for FDA CSV-aligned digital-health platform reviews where OSWE is the ceiling cert.
OSWE is harder than OSCP from a code-reading perspective: the 48-hour exam requires writing a working exploit chain against custom application source code, often involving multiple bypasses and a final unauthenticated RCE. Pass rate globally is around 25%; Macksofy alumni achieve significantly higher first-attempt pass through mentored code-review practice, weekly white-box challenges, and instructor-supervised mock exams.
For candidates already holding OSCP, OSWE is the most logical next OffSec step into the AppSec specialization — and it commands a 50-80% salary premium over OSCP-only at the same experience level for Hyderabad GCC and product-tech AppSec roles. Combined with cloud-security certifications (AWS Security Specialty, Azure Security Engineer, GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer), OSWE-holders unlock product security architecture tracks at Hyderabad SaaS and tech-major platforms.
OSWE (WEB-300) Curriculum for Hyderabad Cohorts
Hyderabad cohorts map the OSWE syllabus onto the HITEC City GCC, pharma and SOC work local teams do. The full WEB-300 syllabus — source-code review, authentication and access-control bypasses, injection and deserialisation, and building chained exploits — is identical in every Macksofy Hyderabad cohort and maintained on our OSWE (WEB-300) course page, so the Hyderabad schedule always reflects OffSec’s current exam.

Frequently Asked Questions — OSWE Training in Hyderabad
Which Hyderabad employers actively hire OSWE-certified engineers?
Hyderabad-active OSWE hirers: Microsoft Hyderabad, Amazon, Google, Oracle, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Phenom (tech-major + product-tech AppSec); Bank of America Hyderabad, JPMorgan Hyderabad, Wells Fargo, BNY Mellon, Goldman Sachs Hyderabad, Citi Hyderabad (foreign-bank GCC AppSec); Deloitte USI, EY GDS, PwC AC, KPMG GDC AppSec practice; Dr Reddy’s, Aurobindo, Hetero (pharma cyber AppSec); Lucideus / SAFE Security Hyderabad. Salary band 24-38 LPA at 4-7 years post-OSWE.
Is OSWE worth it after OSCP for a Hyderabad fintech / GCC AppSec career?
Yes — for Hyderabad GCC AppSec roles (Microsoft Hyderabad, Amazon, Oracle, Salesforce, ServiceNow), foreign-bank GCC AppSec (Bank of America Hyderabad, JPMorgan Hyderabad, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs), and pharma cyber, OSWE adds a clear 50-80% salary premium over OSCP-only at the same experience level. The cert specifically validates white-box code-review skills that black-box pentest certs don’t cover.
How does the classroom OSWE workshop work in Hyderabad?
For Hyderabad classroom-tier learners, the 12-week cohort runs online live (evening sessions + Saturday code-review labs) plus an in-person all-day Saturday workshop once every four weeks at our local venue, focused on the toughest white-box modules — chained deserialization, framework quirks, type juggling and race conditions. Online-only candidates keep full mentor access; classroom-tier pays a slightly higher tier.
How much does OSWE training cost in 2026?
The Macksofy OSWE bootcamp is INR 95,000 for the online live cohort and INR 117,000 for the classroom-tier batch for Hyderabad learners. Pricing is exclusive of the OffSec OSWE exam fee (USD 1,749, paid directly to Offensive Security, includes a 90-day lab subscription). EMI is available across HDFC / ICICI / Axis / SBI / Kotak cards — confirm current figures at enrolment.
Is Macksofy Trainings — Hyderabad (Ameerpet) Center accessible from across Hyderabad?
Yes — the venue is reached via Ameerpet Metro (Red & Blue Line interchange), with primary catchment from Ameerpet, Begumpet, Punjagutta, Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills, Madhapur, HITEC City, Gachibowli, Kondapur, Kukatpally, Secunderabad. Weekday batches run 6:30pm-9:30pm; Saturday batches run 10am-5pm. The Ameerpet center is the most-connected cyber-training hub in Hyderabad — convenient for senior pentesters and AppSec engineers commuting from across the city.
Do I need OSCP before attempting OSWE?
OSCP is not a formal prerequisite — OffSec doesn’t enforce it — but for Hyderabad candidates we recommend it (or a strong dev / source-code-review background) first, since WEB-300 assumes comfort with HTTP, web payloads and exploitation flow. About 80% of Macksofy OSWE candidates also hold OSCP.
Does Macksofy offer EMI for the OSWE bootcamp fee?
Yes — for Hyderabad learners we offer 0% EMI across major Indian credit cards (HDFC, ICICI, Axis, SBI, Kotak) over 3, 6 or 9 months; the classroom-tier batch at INR 117,000 works out to roughly INR 13,000/month on a 9-month plan.
How is OSWE different from OSCP?
OSCP is black-box penetration testing (find a way in given an IP and goal); OSWE is white-box application security (find a way in given the source code). Hyderabad OSWE candidates spend far more time reading framework code (Java Spring, Node.js, Django/Flask, .NET) and writing Python exploit scripts, and the OSWE exam is 48 hours versus OSCP’s 24.
