Hi Hackers,

Can you suggest a few small custom tools or scripts you wish existed to make bug bounty hunting or pentesting easier? I have 4 years of programming experience, and I want to build some useful cybersecurity projects for my resume. I’ll upload them to GitHub for everyone to use.

Instead of randomly building whatever Google suggests, I’d like to create small practical tools or scripts that genuinely help pentesters in real-world work.

[nimble tundra]

dw i am also trolling

i already use gentoo

[frosty thistle]

me

[unique pilot]

lool

[latent oak]

I use mac

And kali

[toxic rock]

That’s wild

[gloomy patio]

oh

[nimble tundra]

its pretty good tho

[hot pendant]

[latent oak]

Crazy, right?

[toxic rock]

Ik but …

[nimble tundra]

its expensive AF yeah

i hate them for the price tag

[toxic rock]

EXACTLY

[nimble tundra]

thats why i never bought my own mac

[gloomy patio]

I remember doing Monitors from Windows way back when. Do not recommend

[nimble tundra]

i use the one provided from office

my daily driver is my giga chad gentoo setup

it will make your balls shake when you update

[unique pilot]

ive never had a mac

[latent oak]

Windows is fine…

[unique pilot]

or an iphone

[nimble tundra]

@mods can we ban this guy ?

[gloomy patio]

gotta say... the rest of the space caught up with most apple products' pricing

[nimble tundra]

yeah they are slowly approaching there

[gloomy patio]

be like me, just hate em for the sake of hating

[nimble tundra]

there will be a time people need to go tony stark-ish

[gloomy patio]

[zealous charm]

[nimble tundra]

building devices in a cave with a bunch of scraps

[gloomy patio]

australia is up

TONY STARK WAS ABLE TO BUILD IT IN A CAVE WITH A BUNCH OF SCRAPS

[unique pilot]

all i know is its nice to see companies like framework putting out quality like mac that believe in the right to repair

i want one of their laptops

[gloomy patio]

is macOS really that bad tho? it's UNIX after all

[latent oak]

Nah, I’m going to go all Primitive Technology

[gloomy patio]

what where the hurdles?

[rough mirage]

pls stop taking pictures of me 😔

[gloomy patio]

I'm waiting for a proper desktop from them

[latent oak]

MacOS works great and it plays well with nearly everything I want to do

[nimble tundra]

ok

now i will take x-rays

[rough mirage]

😭

im actually a femboy irl haha

[gloomy patio]

oh

[latent oak]

Once in a while I run into architecture issues

[nimble tundra]

dw i also have a femboy friend

[unique pilot]

they made one but ye could have been done better...desktop wise ill just build my own. im waiting for them to sell their laptops with a coreboot option

[rough mirage]

nice!

[nimble tundra]

@native plume your lost companion

[unique pilot]

coreboot is the only thing missing

[zealous charm]

arm64 vs x86_64 is the only annoying part of apple silicon

[rough mirage]

hes a femboy too?

[nimble tundra]

yeah man

[latent oak]

When I’m doing vuln hunting I want x86_64 instead of arm64

[nimble tundra]

hes more feminine than any women i met 💀

[rough mirage]

LMAO 😭

im not that femboyish

[zealous charm]

Yup, orbstack/docker can emulate some amd64 stuff, but for other stuff I transfer to my intel mac

[gloomy patio]

Yeah, but it's an AI rig. I don't need it if it doesn't provide dedicated GPU support on top of it. (In the case, none of this external GPU nonsense for me)

[latent oak]

Emulation doesn’t work great when I’m fuzzing

[gloomy patio]

pics or it didn't happen

[gloomy patio]

pics or it didn't happen

[latent oak]

So I delegate that work to a different box

[gloomy patio]

makes sense

[zealous charm]

M5 fuzzing speed tho

[latent oak]

Yeah

[rough mirage]

wdym? 😭

[nimble tundra]

fr bro but can't share the pics or the mods will snipe me

as i said too feminine

[gloomy patio]

lmao

[native plume]

https://tenor.com/view/cute-anime-girl-anime-weeb-general-war-gif-19626460

[gloomy patio]

hahahaha

[nimble tundra]

TADA!!!! the femboy -

[teal topaz]

I agree 👀

[unique pilot]

wdym the laptops provide support for both

[gloomy patio]

I don't need that form factor lol

[unique pilot]

ooh ye i really dont know much about the tower they made

[gloomy patio]

I'm happy with my Razer Blade, I just need something more beefy for home

[unique pilot]

i didnt hear good things about the desktop i know that but i cant remember much about it

i wish i had more money for hardware and projects but atm need to save for other things

[gloomy patio]

The main thing is that it uses an APU, which doesn't land itself well with the GPU passthrough I intend to make use of

[naive leaf]

I haff accepted a job offer in Cyber 🎉

Feels good

[gloomy patio]

congrats

[unique pilot]

all i have atm is my thinkpad desktop build and a rasberry pi running pi-hole +unbound

GG

[gloomy patio]

there's nothing worse than laggy graphics when everything is local

drives me nuts

which is also why I love waypipe so much

[rancid totem]

Woah

That's awesome news dude!

What exact position are you got the offer for ?

[naive leaf]

Application Security Engineer

Most purple team role in security imo

[unique pilot]

noice

[rancid totem]

That's great!

[rotund forge]

My only advice is try and see if you're a good company fit with the people there. Also try looking into senior management and how their perspectives and your own views look.

A weird analogy is when you board a plane always remember that they mark the emergency exits even though you never use em'

[naive leaf]

Given that it's the place that I interned at for a year, and I took their offer over other ones specifically because of the competence of the CISO and my current boss compared to every other security team I talked to, I'm very happy with where I landed.

[rotund forge]

That's great to hear

[frosty thistle]

Congratulations 🎉

[proven igloo]

Hi, you know of any new leaks

[fickle kernel]

Appsec is prolly the chillest position in it sec

[random aurora]

man you are better then me

u will do pentesting stuff on application right ?

[gloomy patio]

wrong server

[random aurora]

and u will report the vulnerablities

right?

[fickle kernel]

Most of the time thats part of what appsec does (internal pentesting), but it varies per org

DevSecOps, SDLC is also sometimes part of it

[zealous charm]

spicy QA

[proven igloo]

I'm just asking

[random aurora]

yeah seeing the code to check if its make malware

or vulnerability

[alpine pumice]

We don't condone illegal/blackhat activity here

[random aurora]

and check it if its dynamic put it in the sandbox how its behave

or the static one to check the registry how the malware inffect the entire system

[proven igloo]

I know come here, there are such

[fickle kernel]

Malware research isn’t part of appsec usually🤷‍♂️ That’s for malware analysts

[molten bobcat]

Lol

[alpine pumice]

what?

[random aurora]

its touch the part of application security

[zealous charm]

I know come here, there are such

[gloomy patio]

I think google translate dropped the ball there

[molten bobcat]

I'm making food

[random aurora]

because when the malware get inside the application u should analysis the code

[fickle kernel]

But it could happen, we get pinged for bunch of shit, coz “hehe, offsec haxor ppl must know malware reverse engineering”, but it’s not something we personally deal with within the team

[molten bobcat]

Not how that works

[fickle kernel]

We could do it, I mean, given 3 months, I can do whatever

[random aurora]

maybe I have wrong Idea what I SEARCH

[naive leaf]

Yeah pentesting is a part of the job description

Among other things

[fickle kernel]

But I’d say “well, I did this and that, but I’m not a malware analyst so don’t trust my take on it”

[random aurora]

so you will hack the application to check if there any vulnerablity right .

[naive leaf]

This past week I was asked to write malware to test a new AI security service provider.

[random aurora]

man I'm so proud of u

[naive leaf]

So I wrote a custom poisoned MCP server.

[naive leaf]

That's one part of it yeah

[zealous charm]

expectation: pentesting
reality: approving risk/ deviation requests for TLS1.0 to be used internally

[naive leaf]

They caught the poisoned MCP server but didn't catch malicious skills I wrote that did data exfiltration.

[random aurora]

man I'm so proud

I didnt arrive the mountain yet

[fickle kernel]

“Can you tell me if I’m allowed to grant xyz global admin”

[naive leaf]

Fortunately it's been more interesting than that LOL

I've been ripping out our SAST provider

That we pay tens of thousands of dollars for

Via writing an inhouse application

Saving company giant pile of money

[random aurora]

man one day inshallah

[naive leaf]

I've already exceeded feature parity with our old SAST

[zealous charm]

"we are rolling out this app tomorrow, please make sure it is secure but dont touch it during business hours"

[naive leaf]

The real take is that if you're in a room with a pile of security people, then while everyone will have the stuff they specialize in, if you ask for the malware then they'll hand it over for you to look at.

I've done a bunch of malware rev before

Mostly static malware rev analysis

[fickle kernel]

Yeah, but are you supposed to. You may have, but if no one knows how to do advanced malware analysis, are you rly supposed to do that shit just coz no one else is in the room

[naive leaf]

It depends.

[random aurora]

u mean when you will hack some tls it will be risky

[naive leaf]

If this is like an active part of an ongoing high stakes incident then that's one thing.

[fickle kernel]

I say, I’m not feeling confident to do that shit, or that it will take 1 month

[naive leaf]

Yeah if you've never done it then I can see not wanting to poke at it.

I'm fine doing malware rev but if someone wanted me to write yara rules then yeah it'd take me a while and I'd pass it along to our SoC.

[proven igloo]

I understand you're not acting illegally here?

[fickle kernel]

I mean, I did a tiny bit in toy labs, but I’d feel like my analysis is not meaningful, because that’s not my forte, but if you do, then kudos to you

[naive leaf]

Not sure what's illegal about malware rev?

[fickle kernel]

My point was just that it happens that rando requests come in within an appsec team, you can work on bunch of shit

[naive leaf]

You're in most cases, decompiling code and looking at it, or failing that you're setting up isolated environments and collecting process logs.

[zealous charm]

only LARPing here

[fickle kernel]

But sometimes it’s like completely off the capabilities of the team

[naive leaf]

Yeah we get some weird stuff sometimes. I got called in as a part of IR once as appsec because someone exploited an application level vulnerability to do a thing and needed to be identified and fixed.

[fickle kernel]

This part is usually done by our red team guys

[naive leaf]

Appsec is really purple-teamy as a role that's why I like it.

[zealous charm]

our red team does red teaming, purple teaming, code review, and web testing. tbh I am not sure what our appsec team even does

[fickle kernel]

Yeah, we do it sometimes to verify incident vulns

[naive leaf]

Likely vuln triaging.

[zealous charm]

that's our vuln management team

[frosty thistle]

i just be testing pens

[naive leaf]

Uhhh security platform engineering?

Inhouse tooling?

SAST/DAST/SCA tuning?

[high cobalt]

Illegal hackers go straight to cyber hell, beyond the blackwall

https://tenor.com/view/unitycore-netwatch-vrchat-unity-gif-15585304199288948908

[naive leaf]

Like my role covers:

• Security tool engineering
• SAST
• Designing vuln management flows
• DAST
• SCA
• Tuning of vuln detectors
• Red teaming
• Internal Pentesting
• Code Reviews
• Threat modeling when needed
• Purple Teaming
• Triaging

Small but well funded security team

[high cobalt]

So you are the maid for everything? 😂

[fickle kernel]

SAST <<< give it to claude opus

[fickle kernel]

Usually how it goes tbh

[dusky jacinth]

Is this that same company you were interning at a couple months ago?

[zealous charm]

I wish, claude would be way better than fortify/blackduck/whatever

[fickle kernel]

Cant imagine a small team can do this on the same great level, but it is what it is, you work with what you have

[winged ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/ta-gif-5005001010612256010

[fickle kernel]

It is better, I work with it quite extensively nowadays, static code analyzers are bad, opus also hallucinates on a large codebase, but it’s much less noise

[naive leaf]

Different one.

[dusky jacinth]

Gotcha

[rotund forge]

You know I'm pissed at that one I cant even find payphones anymore

[zealous charm]

Yeah, I use it personally to do code review for bug bounty, but work lags behind

[winged ridge]

the real story behind this is way deeper then everyone thinks

[naive leaf]

I was interning at one company for like a year and they hadn't committed me to a full time role so I was looking for other places.

Company turned around and decided they really badly wanted to convert me after the other appsec guy gave his 1 week's notice and I was the only guy with the institutional knowledge and no offer or obligation or any reason to stay.

On top of that they brought in a new manager for me who has systematically removed every complaint that I had about the company in under a month since he started.

Which is like

Yeah huge

[winged ridge]

anyone who solved Last Resort
?

[naive leaf]

Nahhhhh lol I don't touch the SOC at all.

Nor do I touch AWS controls or threat intel or detection engineering

I live in the source code

[naive leaf]

Oh interning at, not interviewing at you said.

Thought you said interviewing

Yeah same company I was interning at

[fickle kernel]

We developed an agent to do basically security code review within cursor, it’s pretty good I’d say, not perfect, but considering it’s just a prompt we tweaked for 2 days to opus, it’s great

[naive leaf]

SAST exists for the auditor lol

[naive leaf]

Yeah I'm building a SAST scanner right now that sends context to claude for vuln enrichment for every finding

[zealous charm]

These days I prefer gpt 5.5 for code review. Opus in feb-march was good but got nerfed pretty hard

[fickle kernel]

And if someone wants pentest first thing we ask, did you run this agent skill???

[naive leaf]

It costs maybe like $100 per 10k vulnerabilities to run the enrichment

Maybe less

[fickle kernel]

4.7 is goes hard imho

[naive leaf]

I still like 4.6

[fickle kernel]

5.5 I’m still yet to try

[naive leaf]

Maybe it's just because I'm really familiar with 4.6

[zealous charm]

I find 4.7 to be worse than 4.6 was in feb/march. It is quick to give up

GPT 5.5 will easily run 3-5 hours if prompted well

[naive leaf]

Dude it's like all the fun of security with none of the pressure

[fickle kernel]

Well, that’s not something I’d like tbh on such an agent skill

[naive leaf]

As long as my boss is happy I'm good

My boss literally explicitly told me that he was not going to track hours and he cared more about progress towards goals and deliverables than hours.

I have full flexibility as to whether I want to come into the office or not.

My choice

[fickle kernel]

I was once that I should work slower and give bigget deadlines on pentest coz we want to hire more people and I should leave some shit in the backlog

So if it takes 1 week, make it 2 weeks… I mean, sure thing boss

[naive leaf]

There's a part of me that's like

I wanna make my boss and ciso look good because they're actually good people

And then other part of me goes

Hmmmmm

Idk

Probably do the former tbh I like them

It's high trust environment tbh I'll probably just make good on that.

[fickle kernel]

Idc about that tbh, I just like to do this while not working in a sweatshop consultancy for 3rd of the salary

[high cobalt]

Sounds still a bit much. Although, I get it, I am also the maid for a bit too much things at work 🥲 It sucks in the long run though

[naive leaf]

That's kinda my responsibility list because that's the stuff I put on my own plate because I wanted to do it.

I've got adhd brain I only can get myself to work on things I'm interested in or passionate about.

And that happens to be the list

[naive leaf]

That's fair.
I guess I'm just young and ambitious and nothing wrong with that.

[high cobalt]

I am passionate about improving processes, tools , security and servers 🥲 But sadly I am forced to also do lame tech support ... "hey why is my password reset not working" "because you entered the wrong date of birth man ..."

[naive leaf]

Yeah you need some experience like that. I mean, I did software engineering for 3 years before getting into appsec.

[high cobalt]

Oh no no no, I mean I am not even in a tech support role at work and still have to do this stuff beside the usual things 🥲 Because we don't have a dedicated support team

[frosty thistle]

put on the outfit too

🧐

[zealous charm]

there are cafes for that

[high cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/hellinheavns-gif-21860297

[frosty thistle]

ive been

[dusky jacinth]

I'm still waiting for one to open near me

[frosty thistle]

open it up be the sole employee

[desert cypress]

I did that in middle school (in high school now), and it SUCKED

[dusky jacinth]

you right

i'm quitting tecch

[frosty thistle]

[iron galleon]

wdym they make you be the maid

[dusky jacinth]

starting a maid cafe

[neat vapor]

Hi, anyone know any free course to learn Reverse Engineering?? Thanks

[dusky jacinth]

zmi would you invest

[dusky jacinth]

Nigthmare

[frosty thistle]

i would need a demo before investing

[dusky jacinth]

OKayyyyy 🫦

[neat vapor]

is this a web?

[high cobalt]

It totally does. Also some things would be solved if the processes were improved 😅 But well

[dusky jacinth]

Yeah look for guyinatuxedo

[iron galleon]

man if i got hired for a computer job and had to sweep n shit, mop the floors, make coffee, etc. id be fucking quitting

never doing that shit again

[dusky jacinth]

that's the dude who put together the course

[frosty thistle]

last time i did that stuff i was a mechanic and before that it was in the army :P

[dusky jacinth]

I've only taken like the first module, so I can't speak to it. Though I 've heard it's some high quality stuff

[desert cypress]

yeah, especially when we were distributing laptops, i'd have to run between yelling 6th graders who were all having issues for different reasons, and they all thought i'd magically know because i was older than them

[dusky jacinth]

You were in the army???

[iron galleon]

i had to do it when i worked in retail

[high cobalt]

Okay that would be even worse then tech support

[dusky jacinth]

everything about you makes sense now

JKJKJK

[frosty thistle]

ya i was

and yes it does

[desert cypress]

99% of the time they entered their birthdate in the wrong format. one kid didn't even know his birthday i think

[dusky jacinth]

Was it because of Arma 3

[frosty thistle]

i played arma to help me get better at gunnery lol

so my truck could take first

[dusky jacinth]

I can read em like a book

[naive leaf]

Ohhhh lol rip

[dusky jacinth]

How long did you serve? Just the 4?

[frosty thistle]

9 years

[dusky jacinth]

fuck dude

That's a long time. I haven't done anything that long I don't think

minus primary school LMAO

and living ig

[frosty thistle]

its ok i dont really regret it but i could have done it a lot better

[dusky jacinth]

Well that's not true, I did music for about 10 years. Got a jazz scholarship

[frosty thistle]

i was a shithead and didnt know what i wanted to do

[dusky jacinth]

That's good, I mean seems like you're doing well now

[dusky jacinth]

Valid

I'm still a shithead, so I get it

[frosty thistle]

yea tbh i am still a shithead but maybe not quite as bad as i was

[high cobalt]

I am just switching tasks too much instead of focusing on one area 😅 First I patch my Webserver, then "oh there is a ticket, someone can't reset their password, can you have a quick look at the logs?", Then "Oh can you upload this new software into the download portal?", then a code review for code I don't even really get any more because I am nor really actively developing ...

[dusky jacinth]

real

[high cobalt]

It is what it is though ...

[dusky jacinth]

Maybe the goal isn't to not be a shithead

but to be less of a shithead

[frosty thistle]

yeaaaa

[iron galleon]

yeah seems shitty

[frosty thistle]

if you start early in IT and cyber the world is yours tbh

[iron galleon]

id feel like it'd be not a good use of my time but u gotta do what u gotta do ig

[frosty thistle]

i wish i had started at 18

[dusky jacinth]

Me too

jk, 21 was a fine place to start as well ig

especially since I didn't go to school

[naive leaf]

Started programming at 11 W

[frosty thistle]

although my exp did shape me and give me unique skills i use for RF hacking

[dusky jacinth]

But there's been a LOT to learn that's for sure

[pearl kernel]

bloodhound so ass

[frosty thistle]

idk how to program

[dusky jacinth]

I feel like my last job as help desk was literally just learning how to behave in an incredibly toxic corporate environment

[naive leaf]

Worth learning

[high cobalt]

But compared to other jobs it's still kinda relaxed, just annoying and slow moving processes. But mostly no time constraints or hard deadlines 😅 And it's quite a stable job. Still would be nice to just do less annoying support tasks 😄

[dusky jacinth]

beep boop the skeep skoop

[frosty thistle]

that was aws for me c:

[naive leaf]

Sooooo much value to be had in security + software engineering

[undone fossil]

^^

[frosty thistle]

its fine

[dusky jacinth]

Yeahhh, but I gotta get certified first (I need a job real bad)

[naive leaf]

Like it's actually astonishing to me how easy it is to create value just because I can write code on my security team.

[frosty thistle]

Drinking my coffee again before i sleep

[frosty thistle]

thats awesome !

[dusky jacinth]

so close, 7 flags this time. But I feel really good about my next attempt

I would've done better if I had actually created a methodology checklist

[frosty thistle]

youll get it flag 8 and 12 are pains

[dusky jacinth]

I've heard

[frosty thistle]

if ur talking about cpts

[dusky jacinth]

8 is what I was stuck on

[frosty thistle]

8 hard aaaaaaa hell

[dusky jacinth]

I felt like I was so close to it, but I have no clue

[jagged storm]

Didn't you pass on the original one?

[frosty thistle]

no i took it about 6 months ago

on the new one

[rugged dune]

people say it hard i say it skill issue

[jagged storm]

Ah

[dusky jacinth]

Spent waaaaayyy too long down rabbit holes

[frosty thistle]

lmao

yes everything is a skill issue

[dusky jacinth]

and didn't have enough time to keep beating my head against flag eight. I started it with a day left

[jagged storm]

https://tenor.com/view/skill-issue-skill-issue-urge-resist-skill-issue-resist-urge-urge-resist-gif-3380469227613787388

[dusky jacinth]

I actually agree with this and I have't passed it

It was way simpler every single time

[rugged dune]

Bro said "sooo hard"

[frosty thistle]

i mean its true if you cant do something its either impossible (not possible to be impossible)
or its a skill issue

[iron galleon]

just like me fr

[frosty thistle]

yeah thats how i like it

[dusky jacinth]

I want to hack today, but I also just wanna play Crimson Desert

decisions decisions

[rugged dune]

Would sleep tbh

[naive leaf]

Decompile crimson desert client

Ez

[frosty thistle]

nerds

[dusky jacinth]

I actually wanna really mod it

[rugged dune]

I think talking about flags is forbidden? Or ok?

[dusky jacinth]

It's been such a cool "sandbox" game, that it's made me interested in what I could add to make it more fun for me

[frosty thistle]

only about difficulty

[dusky jacinth]

I mean we can say like I got to flag 8, but not anything about the environment and what not

[frosty thistle]

and even that some people whine about 🙄

[dusky jacinth]

Actually I think it's preferred we don't mention exam progress, but whatever

[rugged dune]

Ah ok
Flag 1 Hard
2-3-4-5-6-7 joke
8 medium
9-10-11-12 joke
13-14 nightmare (i hate them)

[jagged storm]

They banned exam progress messages, because people were using it for help begging

[rancid snow]

unfortunately yeah

[frosty thistle]

hehehe pretty similar to mine

[dusky jacinth]

Dude I fucking get it tbh

[naive leaf]

How hard is the environment compared to like normal HTB boxes?

[dusky jacinth]

getting stuck on a flag for days is demoralizing fs

but also rules is rules

[naive leaf]

Someday I'll go get the cert

[dusky jacinth]

uhhhh

[frosty thistle]

depending on skill level it ranges from easy to insane

[dusky jacinth]

I mean it's just so much more vast

[jagged storm]

The exams mirror the difficulty of the modules. CPTS course is all easy/medium.

[frosty thistle]

per flag

[dusky jacinth]

But the exam is a ton a fun

Like so much fun

[naive leaf]

10 day exam is crazy timeline

[rugged dune]

Every flag is testing something on you , flag 13-14 are just testing your ragebiting limits

[dusky jacinth]

I seriously enjoyed my first attempt. All the pieces clicking felt so rewarding

[jagged storm]

The report itself can take several days.

[frosty thistle]

i did the exam while doing a pentest at work, not the best idea

[high cobalt]

Hearing people talk about CPTS tempts me to do it just for funsies 😂

[naive leaf]

Like originally I was like between finishing my degree and getting a job I'll do CPTS but now I just have a job

[dusky jacinth]

That's how I approached it

[naive leaf]

And now I'm like okay I'd have to take time off work to get my cert

[rugged dune]

We got paid to advertise CPTS don't trust us :))

[dusky jacinth]

everyone said that there's really no way to be fully prepared, and I knew I was super unqualified for it. Though like just jumping into it and figuring it out is pretty fun

[dusky jacinth]

Wait did you finish? The degree that is. You were doing CyberSec right?

or CompSci

[naive leaf]

Everything but a handful of generals

[rugged dune]

There is a whole damn path for cpts and that is a big prep

[naive leaf]

The whole major is done

[jagged storm]

The course does fully prepare you - it's just hard to remember everything on the spot.

[naive leaf]

And yeah cybersec

[frosty thistle]

am working on cape rn -_-

[dusky jacinth]

This is more so waht I meant

[frosty thistle]

i cant let my mentee have cape and i dont

[jagged storm]

3 months of study compressed into 10 days of action is just difficult

[high cobalt]

I mean it isn't really beneficial to me jobwise because I do not plan on working in Pentesting/Red Teaming (for now) but the price of the Cert it would still be nice 😅

not like you can't be prepared, but more so that the environment is really vast and that's a skill in it of itself to figure out

understanding when to give up and really recognizing dead ends and what not

[high cobalt]

But currently I am overwhelmed by the AD Attacks module 🤣

[dusky jacinth]

It's good stuff

alot of material in it, but good stuff

[naive leaf]

Dude I went to go do a box recently and got stuck because I forgot my nmap -p- flag lol.

Like actually just skill issue

[jagged storm]

If you have student, it's super cheap. Even without, you can do the course and exam for like $320

[rugged dune]

It's not actually if they really wanted to make the exam difficult and the right timeline it would be 2-3 days pentesting and then 2 days write report

[dusky jacinth]

This is so real

[frosty thistle]

at least u admit
and now u wont forget

[dusky jacinth]

valid

[rugged dune]

Oscp as an example gives u a 24 hrs

[dusky jacinth]

I head CAPE was a lot easier

[jagged storm]

The course specifically told you not to do the report after, though lol

[naive leaf]

I've gotten very comfortable with persistent and unavoidable skissue at this point in this field it's really funny.

[dusky jacinth]

I really think the 10 days are for people to be able to work jobs and do the exam

[frosty thistle]

yeah ive been hearing mixed things like its way harder its way easier
idk what to think

[dusky jacinth]

not for realism

[rugged dune]

Offsec have different idea :))

[exotic pendant]

😄

[frosty thistle]

yeah i was doing a pentest during my cpts exam which ate time

[dusky jacinth]

imo, but I really have no legitimate grounds to that

[high cobalt]

Yeah I know. Problem is I have a university email as an employee, so technically/legally this doesn't qualify me for a student discount

[dusky jacinth]

I guess really it just ends up being familiarity with AD

[dusky jacinth]

That's rough

[dusky jacinth]

You get another one?

[exotic pendant]

I bought another book that I wont read

if that counts

[high cobalt]

But huh 320$? Thought it was a bit more

[exotic pendant]

but i did find a 2nd bug that I need ot wait for a fix first

[dusky jacinth]

Yup that sounds piza worthy to me

[exotic pendant]

I got a major bug release soon

[dusky jacinth]

Oh?

[exotic pendant]

tomorrow night is pizza celebration

[dusky jacinth]

I just post random stuff on X for giggles

[dusky jacinth]

[exotic pendant]

All my research i do, I am doing a blog eventually

I don't do it anymore

[dusky jacinth]

[naive leaf]

I believe it

[turbid goblet]

[dusky jacinth]

This is actually the life style I strive to have

[naive leaf]

There's a point where your velocity of learning

[dusky jacinth]

I believe you now

[naive leaf]

Just kinda makes you eat information voraciously

Automatically

[dusky jacinth]

It's a fun skill fs

[exotic pendant]

I want to post the blog post of the wifi bug soon

Once people have time to update

[naive leaf]

I aspire to eat new information that quickly

[dusky jacinth]

that combined with meta cognition makes me feel like I can percieve everything sometimes

jk

[exotic pendant]

I techcnially wrote the blog post already

[dusky jacinth]

I aspire to not be so focues on avoiding being uncomfortable

[dusky jacinth]

I will patiently await the official post

and if it so happens to get to my inbox for whatever reason before then. Then I will read it fondly

[naive leaf]

I've turned into my family's trading coach because they seem to think I know stuff about mentality and psychology that they don't.

Which is true but it's really fricken weird to be telling my dad that his problem is that he's too attached to the outcome while completely ignoring enjoyment of executing his methodology.

Feels weird man.

[dusky jacinth]

That is a weird feeling fs...

My Dad isn't like that (he's probably way smarter than me), but I have had many a mentor and coworker who I should have been going to for help, when in turn they came to me

And that while being 20/21 was super hard on my health I think. Made me feel bad about the state of the world and what not, and like I wouldn't ever be able to find help

Rough mentality to have, so God bless the truth of only being able to control what I can control

[naive leaf]

Yeah for sure.

[naive leaf]

I don't all I can say is go do like 1000 CTF problems/challenges by hand without AI help.

That's a good start.
