You can't just say "maybe" then without explaining the meaning behind you questioning the statement

[steep niche]

ok

[molten sky]

maybe 🤷‍♂️

[full marlin]

sup bros, what do we talk about in here

[soft dune]

you’d never guess

[full marlin]

do you guys talk about birds

[molten sky]

@graceful thistle you've been paged

oh god your profile pic isn't a bird anymore

[full marlin]

are you summoning the expert on birds

[graceful thistle]

when was it ever

[soft dune]

No v talk about life hacks from 5 minutes crafts

[molten sky]

..was it not?

[graceful thistle]

😬

[molten sky]

am i thinking of github

[graceful thistle]

yeah

[full marlin]

what's the best life hack you've discussed in here

[molten sky]

ah that makes sense

[soft dune]

Its a secret

[graceful thistle]

do you have interesting bird facts?

[full marlin]

ok, but if you pretend it wasn't a secret, then what would it be

[soft dune]

You’d never guess

[full marlin]

is it a life hack about birds?

[soft dune]

Yeah

[full marlin]

cool, then i probably already know about it

[graceful thistle]

disappointing

@molten sky you have to make up for this ping

[full marlin]

what important thing did we interrupt you from

now this is the content i came here for

[molten sky]

https://tenor.com/view/shark-viorchu-vior5-peek-underwater-gif-16386505

[full marlin]

what is your guys' favorite kind of bird to eat

[molten sky]

situational

but dove is good cause it's always with a good group of people too

[full marlin]

i didnt know people ate doves

are they tender

[molten sky]

by with a good group of people i mean normally as friends not side dishes

[full marlin]

so the doves are your friends?

[molten sky]

pretty common across many parts of the US, and just outright illegal in others -- so some people live by it and others don't even know it exists as a thing you can do

there are even restaurants you can take your kills to and they'll clean and cook em up for you in some good dove tacos or whatever else

[full marlin]

are you from the south

[molten sky]

nah, nj shore & middle of alberta

[full marlin]

i'll have to try it

i know where there are some doves, but they're very elusive around here

[molten sky]

eh doves are everywhere, just gotta get outside

especially around grain like corn/milo/soy, some good watering holes, fine gravel pits.....etc

[full marlin]

ah isee, i'm only allowed outdoors every other sunday so that's probably why i dont see them very often

[molten sky]

https://tenor.com/view/the-silenceofthe-lambs-buffalo-bill-ted-levine-gif-5519759

[full marlin]

so this is a hacking server right, where do I start if I want to learn some cool hacks

[molten sky]

(fyi, just in case, don't go taking doves at random, lol -- laws vary state by state by a ton, and where legal, normally need a hunting license)

[molten sky]

#start-here i think is a thing still

it linked so yeah still exists

[full marlin]

are you a hacking expert

[neon river]

yo wsg

[molten sky]

far far far from an expert, but also not blind to it

[molten sky]

/waves/

[neon river]

I got encryption with automatic TPM unlocking working

and I also wiped my linux partition in the process

300GB turned in 19GB

[molten sky]

i'm always iffy about auto unlocks

(great thing to use for 99% of people ofc just mean for myself)

[neon river]

if there is a change in hardware or in the boot chain it requires my recovery key

[molten sky]

what's up with the 300 -> 19? like what partition was reduced?

[molten sky]

didn't realize, but that's actually a cool thing to have then --- i would still opt for a password as well for my use case but that's actually a really good addition

[neon river]

nah like 300GB worth of shit on my root partition turned into 19GB after I wiped and installed what I needed

[molten sky]

i should do some spring cleaning myself tbh

tons of crap built up taking up space

gotta build out a new storage server again when i'm no longer a poor

[naive violet]

I like it from a usability perspective. The boot chain security processes with the TPM are pretty neat

[silk shadow]

Hey there what's going on

Hope everybody here is on 9th cloud _ elated

✨

[molten sky]

I can agree for most commercial use cases. Judy in accounting isn't gonna deal with that shit
For my main workstation tho, I don't find myself inconvenienced enough to outweigh the added security of no auto 🤷‍♂️

wouldn't recommend it to other people (irl) cause i know someone's gonna get locked outa their shit

[naive violet]

Yeah I use passworded or bitlocker with a pin

I don't want people even getting to the login screen

[molten sky]

passwordless is a fun thing to mess with in some environments

some environments

[naive violet]

I still want to pick up a yubikey

[molten sky]

I need to buy a new one still ,-, i broke mine

[naive violet]

See what I can get going with it

There's some foss/oshw ones too but the yubi is just the standard...

[molten sky]

those things are expensive too, for a lil usb stick

insane

[neon river]

you could probably make one with an esp32 or a pi pico

I have improved my security posture

so now I've got disk encryption on both windows and linux

and I've locked down my UEFI behind a password

yay

[candid niche]

hell yee

[neon river]

I got a huge scare when I turned on boot password

bc it changed uefi shit

it made it so linux stopped booting

and windows required bitlocker keys

but I've since fixed that

turns out systemd-boot managed to get unsigned somehow

[lament tendon]

Anyone got any info about how exactly yays fakeroot works?

i have been stuck for the root flag ever since. Lol

[sullen hearth]

Hey good news. I received my 29th interview rejection. One more and i could celebrate... whatever ^^

[rapid merlin]

One-month-of-rejections

But sad, what did you apply for?

[sullen hearth]

Just a helpdesk job with support options. Its frustrating sometimes.

There are newcomer with a degree. No chance here.

[rapid merlin]

Mmm. Where is here if I can ask?

[sullen hearth]

Allemagne better known as germany

[shadow loom]

well, you're blocked by something... the room description has a very strong hint about how to circumvent that something

and it's not the only way

but yeah, it's quite uncommon to see this

[graceful thistle]

that sucks Racoon 😦 don't give up!

eventually it will work out

[sullen hearth]

Never

I will write another company today. Found one today.

[rapid merlin]

I thought getting a job in IT was pretty easy in EU

But idk

[sullen hearth]

Not anymore

[rapid merlin]

Strange, maybe its different in NL

[sullen hearth]

Especially not if you have a static education system in your country. Its not about the effort. Its all about your papers here.

[rapid merlin]

Yeah that's the same here. But dont you have the papers?

[sullen hearth]

I would go outside but won't leave the country physically. And sometimes at the start of it career you have to do.

[rapid merlin]

If you'd speak the language i could possibly get you a job, but if you dont speak Dutch...

[sullen hearth]

Not for the IT. Other ones sure but they doesn't count in this field.

[rapid merlin]

Yeah true.. that sucks

Getting into IT without anything is hard indeed

[sullen hearth]

Unfortunately not.

But maybe i should learn dutch or italiano 😄

[rapid merlin]

You could, but tbh I dont know how easy it is here to get a job in IT without papers

[sullen hearth]

Ye, i knew it but hope someday someone will give me a chance.

[rapid merlin]

Isnt there a so called Ausbildung for IT?

[sullen hearth]

But the dutch respect the effort more i think and the few things i've heard.

[rapid merlin]

Yeah, that depends a lot per company

Some more, some less

[sullen hearth]

Yess. But i'm a old dude so they wont invest in.

[sullen hearth]

Somewhere between 30 and 40

[rapid merlin]

Its not THAT old, but for school maybe a bit yeah

Life is complicated :)

[sullen hearth]

...but not impossible

[rapid merlin]

True!

Yep

I only remember them when im ill

Quite strange

[peak hollow]

should you need to memorizing all common ports in order to be good at cybersec or it will come with experience and googling while you encounter unknown port numbers ?

[rapid merlin]

Knowing or not knowing the common ports wont make you good or bad at cyber :)

But knowing some wil def help

The essential ones like 21,22,80 and so

[peak hollow]

yeah i know that like most used ports but iam not sure about other common popular top 100 ports kind of

[peak hollow]

asked because so i can get over with my imposter syndrome, lol

[rapid merlin]

Good enough, it will come with experience and googling while you encounter unknown port numbers :)

[peak hollow]

okay 🙂

[sullen hearth]

Has someone experience with some hoax companies on linkedin? Some sound... suspicious... .

[crude stump]

Yeah

[stray oracle]

perhaps analogous to how some flowers have colors that the human eyes cannot see but appear in uv light etc. perhaps to better signal pollinators

[loud marlin]

might be. there was debate for they glow. lot's of different ideas

[crude stump]

Who

[chilly veldt]

On my way home from work

[rapid merlin]

Just someone irl

Someone I know

[neon river]

does anybody here know about firewalld policies?

[sand trench]

not really

shadow might have been stupid but they disabled firewalld on their computer

[neon river]

I was just gonna ask if my firewalld policies would be effective at isolating my kali instance from my LAN

aka not allow kali to reach other devices on my LAN

[sand trench]

yeah it could do that

[neon river]

isolatedVM (active)
  priority: -1
  target: CONTINUE
  ingress-zones: libvirt
  egress-zones: public
  services: 
  ports: 
  protocols: 
  masquerade: no
  forward-ports: 
  source-ports: 
  icmp-blocks: 
  rich rules: 
    rule family="ipv4" source address="0.0.0.0" destination address="10.0.0.2/8" drop

[sand trench]

This firewalld settings file appears to be configuring a specific zone called "isolatedVM". This zone is active and has a priority of -1, which means it will take precedence over any other zone. It targets the CONTINUE rule, meaning that incoming packets should continue to their final destination without being intercepted by the firewall ruleset.

The ingress-zones set for this configuration is "libvirt". This means that only traffic from the libvirt zone will be allowed in. The egress-zones are set to "public", which means that outgoing packets will be directed to the public zone.

Services and ports are not specified in this settings file, so they are likely inherited from the parent zones. Protocols are also not explicitly defined, suggesting that they may default to allowing all protocols. The masquerade option is set to "no", meaning that the firewall will not modify outgoing packets' source IP addresses when sending them through NAT.

The forward-ports and source-ports options are empty, so no specific ports are forwarded or used as a source for outbound traffic. The same applies for the icmp-blocks option, which is not defined, so ICMP (ping) traffic will likely be allowed by default.

Lastly, there is a single rich rule defined in this configuration. It drops packets from any IP address to any destination in the 10.0.0.2/8 network (subnet mask of 255.255.0.0). This implies that if any device in your LAN has an IP address within the 10.0.0.2 - 10.0.0.255 range, they will not be able to communicate with this machine from the inside.

In summary, this configuration file creates a firewall zone called "isolatedVM" that is active and has priority over other zones. It allows traffic in from the libvirt zone and outbound to the public zone. The ICMP traffic is likely allowed by default, while specific services, ports, protocols, masquerade rules, forward-ports, source-ports, and icmp-blocks are not defined. Only one rich rule is specified to drop packets from any source to any destination within a certain IP range (10.0.0.2/8). This configuration will help isolate the machine on the local area network (LAN) but may limit its ability to communicate with devices in that same subnet.

yes this is a llm response

[agile pulsar]

Guys what's the problem

[jagged moon]

The connection has timed out

You are welcome

[sand trench]

guessing you forgot to connect to the vpn

[agile pulsar]

It's connected

[sand trench]

or the target machine died

could also be because of mtu problems

[agile pulsar]

Wdym

[tidal quartz]

It happens

[sand trench]

go to the room page and look if the box shows that the target machine is still running

[agile pulsar]

Shall i move to another room or what

[boreal scarab]

I move and everything cracks.... I'm getting too old for this shit

[sand trench]

okay then check with nmap if port 80 is open

[steel steppe]

does the tryhackme dc server do any giveaways

[sand trench]

yes used to be a lot more in the past... they have had some problems with the giveaway part of the bot for a while though

[steel steppe]

so do they still do giveaways or has it just been put on hold for now

[sand trench]

put on hold for now.....

[candid niche]

🫠 🫠 🫠 just spent a few hours troubleshooting why my vms kept failing to update when running them for the first time.

Completely forgot to adjust the time zone on the vm

[agile pulsar]

nmap -p 80 then what?'

[willow iron]

Is there first blood in ctf rooms lot of time I see somebody got 300 points and others only 150

[sand trench]

yuups

[willow iron]

Oh ok

ty for info

[sand trench]

normally if you are not getting first blood on a flag on a new ctf you get 30 points

if you get first blood you get 80 points

[agile pulsar]

Hey shadow i dmed

[sand trench]

it could also be delayed as no one has sent them any voucher codes to give away

[sand trench]

......

please don't dm or send friend requests whitout asking in here first

[agile pulsar]

Ow

[sand trench]

shadows message request and friends list thingy is a huge mess

[agile pulsar]

Sorry then

I didn't expect that

[steel steppe]

im still confused on what r the differences between red team and penetration testing

[uneven swallow]

@steel steppe red team = pen testing(attacking) , blue team = cyber security(defending)

[agile pulsar]

@sand trench u told me to check the port 80 . Do u mean to port of the target machine?

[sand trench]

penetration tests are generally much smaller scoped then a red teaming activity

[sand trench]

yes

[agile pulsar]

I did that and i found that's closed

[steel steppe]

okay but what is the red teams job to plan how its supposed to be hacked or smthn cause i wanna be tthe person to hack and pentest the organisation devices

[uneven swallow]

security risk assessment service

[sand trench]

then you can not connect to that target machine on that port in the web browser... do more enumeration

[agile pulsar]

Im doing a task ,is that a part of it

[sand trench]

red team is trying to look like advanced persistent threat groups and testing basically everything on the companies network

generally with a white team and a blue team

white team looking over both teams

[steel steppe]

is red team -REDHAT........

[sand trench]

and blue team trying to defend

sometimes blue teams are not informed that the red team is doing anything either

[agile pulsar]

Ah i feel confused

[loud marlin]

and sometime red and blue work together to get best of all world

[agile pulsar]

What do u mean by more enumeration

[loud marlin]

enumeraton is map of target

[sand trench]

scan for all and every open port

[loud marlin]

more detail is less work later

[candid niche]

anyone know if THM email support are based on US or UK time? or whether its both?

[loud marlin]

both i guess

[neon river]

I managed to get the firewalld stuff working

[uneven swallow]

if ya want can share your screen in vc, can help you out

[sand trench]

well most of the tryhackme employees are in the uk soooo would guess uk time

[candid niche]

gotcha, ty (:

wait no

[normal fable]

Redhat is an operating system.

[steel steppe]

i meant do they use redhat

[steel steppe]

ye mb

[loud marlin]

red team is term that is used for team that attack/test system. blue team is for ppl who do defensice side

RedHat is a company

RHEL is an OS

[normal fable]

true...

[loud marlin]

and you have purple team. is bout of them together

[sand trench]

it is also technically part of an extension of the white hat black hat discussion thingy

and no red teamers are not red hats under that definition

[neon river]

did you guys see the recent thing where some cybersecurity "researchers" took a bunch of money from Kraken

[steel steppe]

no i was litterally talkbout the actual thing called RED TEAMER

[loud marlin]

yes. red team = attacker, blue = defender

[misty oyster]

Nice nice

[sand trench]

friendly notice for all our note takers

[steel steppe]

btw is tryhackme the kind of company to lets say if they see u doing really really well they will get u a job...

[loud marlin]

you might. it's known that some ppl from here get the job in THM

Dunno my school lab has a dead big spider they keep in a jar, its been there for longer than my teachers. Nobody knows why it's there

[crude stump]

hm so what makes -A aggressive. when you are scanning a port regularly it just tells you that its open but doesn't give you the information but that's the opposite with -A. I'm guessing it would show up if you're scanning a system so its "Aggressive"

[neon river]

IPoAC has been successfully implemented, but for only nine packets of data, with a packet loss ratio of 55% (due to operator error),[2] and a response time ranging from 3,000 seconds (50 min) to over 6,000 seconds (100 min). Thus, this technology suffers from high latency.[3]

What if we replaced the pigeons with copper cables

[buoyant tree]

budget's would go highhhhhhhhhhhhh

[neon river]

And we passed electricity at specific intervals through the copper wires

[crude stump]

sharks like cables

[neon river]

And uses different phases, amplitudes, and wavelengths to transmit more data

And we connected all the cables together

[buoyant tree]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgYYOUC10aM

[neon river]

And made a protocol to transmit data

[buoyant tree]

This is sounding a lot like this

[neon river]

Using things called Internet Protocol addresses

And what if we made a protocol to transmit and receive text called the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol

And what if we replaced the copper cables with glass

And shot light through the glass

And made it bounce inside the glass tubes

So we could theoretically transmit data at the speed of light

And what if we put these cables in the sea

And connected them across continents

[viral bay]

• traceroute

[buoyant tree]

What if we just used the "Internet"

[crude stump]

wow

[neon river]

What if we use silicon and conductive metal in order to control the flow of electricity

[crude stump]

never thought about that

[neon river]

And what if we have the state of electricity passing being represented as a 1

[crude stump]

tbh i use 2 cans and some string to talk to people

[neon river]

And the state of no electricity being represented as 0

[sand trench]

what if we were silicon based lifeforms

[neon river]

What if we combined these “semi” “conductors” to make things that can add numbers

[crude stump]

what if we make giant shark robots that we can control

[jovial musk]

@neon river

[warm kettle]

But when I download the task file and check meta data using the exif tool it shows nothing

[jovial musk]

hi

[neon river]

Ȇ̸̍a̸̕͝t̴͊̔ ̴̈͂s̵̆͆a̸̽̓n̶̈́d

And what if we used these “logic” gates to store and save data

And do addition and subtraction

[arctic cradle]

there's not much information displayed on the image, yes, if you're doing OhSINT CTF, I can only give you a tip that the info is inside the image and you can use exiftool to extract it which leads to other information 🙂

[neon river]

And what if we transmitted this data represented as 1s and 0s across these glass laser cables

And because the glass is like fibres we called it “fibre”, and because it uses light we also call it “optic”

So we refer to it as “fiber optic” cables

And what if we communicated with each other using these cables

[crude stump]

What is bro yapping about

[neon river]

And made the biggest repository of information known to mankind

[sand trench]

the alexandria library???

[neon river]

And because all these connected semiconductors looks like a net, and because it spans multiple hosts, we called it the internet

[warm kettle]

I used 2 exif tools but it says no meta data found

It worked for other images

On my phone

[neon river]

And because all the HTTP servers look like a web when visualised, what if we called all these HTTP sites the web

And we called the HTTP repositories websites

What if we created a sort of system to resolve names to ip addresses

So we could access these services through human readable names

[boreal scarab]

Pretty

[loud marlin]

well... close one eye

[neon river]

And because these names are like domains in biology, we called them domains

[arctic cradle]

lets head to #room-help

[loud marlin]

or become pirat

[neon river]

And we called the protocol to resolve these “domains” the Domain Name System

What if we gave each individual net host a unique identifier

So that they could be identified over networks

And because they can control how devices access media, we called this name a media access control address

And what if we simplified this into 7 layers

And because it is how systems interconnect, we called it the Open Systems Interconnect model

Just imagine a world like that

It was hanging on by the lcd wire

[high mulch]

LMAO, this happened to me with an old laptop, but I was ... (what?...) 8 or 9 years old. it was a ibm laptop, robust one, like those from the 90s. It was good, but at some point it was just giving issues with the screen, so my uncle and I pretty much "tortured" it, to see if it kept working.

I used to love the keyboard from that laptop. I'm a sucker, for clickity keyboards :) perhaps the only piece of hardware that I really care about details.

man... you really made me unlock that memory, I didn't even remember that one. lol

[shut hawk]

Successful exploitation has been demonstrated on 32-bit Linux/glibc systems with ASLR.
Under lab conditions, the attack requires on average 6-8 hours of continuous connections up to the maximum the server will accept.
Exploitation on 64-bit systems is believed to be possible but has not been demonstrated at this time. It's likely that these attacks will be improved upon.

Need that patience

My dell laptop weighs about 4kg and then my hp laptop ways less than a kilo

the dell of course lasts about an hour on battery but is an absolute computing weapon while the HP's a bit more low powered and will last a few hours on battery

My dell laptop is by far the best ive ever used ngl

[high mulch]

I used to get my grandpa's nokia to play the snake game. lmao

[finite basalt]

My dell experience was god awful, I'm never going with them again

[gritty fern]

What happened?

[finite basalt]

Had to argue and argue and then start citing the law to them after numerous issues and failures to repair it, eventually got a free upgrade but it's not going to be enough to keep me as a future customer

[gritty fern]

Oh i just fix this one myself when it breaks

[finite basalt]

They're really good value especially with their deals on consumer laptops but their thermals, quality control and support are abysmal

[jovial musk]

heey you all

[finite basalt]

Unfortunately it was a short somewhere on the board that was killing my drives, probably not helped by the SSD thermal issues that it shipped with which I fixed when they failed to fix the correct thing

[jovial musk]

should i watch yt or go to thm?

[gritty fern]

Dang, ive never had terrible problems other than a failed HDD and a broken touchpad

[finite basalt]

I had an nvme drive hit 95c and it'd just turn off to protect itself because dell thought that 1mm thick copper with no thermal pad in a space devoid of airflow would be enough to cool their 2230 nvme drive

I sent them it with bios logs, event viewer logs and screenshots from HWinfo and they diagnosed that it wouldn't turn on, it absolutely would, I know because I'd been using it but couldn't play games or anything without it overheating

[high mulch]

whichever you feel like, mate.
If you can take a break from thm or IT/cybersec related stuff, do it. So you don't burn out.

[jovial musk]

Or, if you feel some indicisiveness... go to THM, try a room, finish reading or doing one part of it, take a break, walk stretch, listen to music, and then get back, and so on and on.

#general message I sent the transcripts there of my passive-agressive emails to them after the final straw after it killed a brand new 1tb ssd after only a few weeks and they failed to fix it, four days later and it wouldn't charge because the short got so bad it was tripping the charger
It was a lot of work and they tried to tell me I wasn't getting a new one as I was a few months out of warranty, so I had to cite the law to them to get them to send a replacement

Mine was a screen, but I knew where it was going, so I was like "fuck it, I'll take this as a chance to buy two monitors instead"...

[gray sonnet]

[finite basalt]

Yeah that's fair, after some arguing over the phone and being bounced around between teams they realised I actually knew my shit both the legal and electronics aspects and they were a little bit more acknowledging of everything I was saying.

It was maybe a week later that I'd got an email telling me that my replacement would be 2 cpu generations newer, 1 gpu generation newer and completely free despite being out of warranty. Mind you I had to buy a temporary laptop (secondhand) in the meantime for ~£200 so that I could do my uni work etc. I specifically got an HP laptop instead of dell when I was looking around because of how poor my experience was with them

[gritty fern]

My Dell could use that kinda upgrade

Its running on a i3-4500U

[gray sonnet]

I don't think you're going to get an upgrade on that one

[gritty fern]

Probably not

But one can hope

[finite basalt]

that's what the inside of my laptop looked like roughly, mine actually had no 2.5" drive bay and had a bigger battery that went across the entire bottom but that little bit of copper you can see is about 1mm thick and has no thermal pad under it

[high mulch]

Yeah, I moved to dell because of my experience with HP was meh... I was like, is it just this laptop or would be the whole category??? I don't want to take the risk rn, can't afford it....
So I took the Dell. My Desktop has been good so far though.

[finite basalt]

Maybe, depends if it gets the job done for you

it's screen is cracked it's trackpad isn't working and overall it's a hunk of metal

so I'm debating throwing it away lol

[finite basalt]

https://laptopmedia.com/gb/laptop-specs/dell-g3-3500-4/ - was the old laptop but it was upgraded to 32gb ram

It basically requires mains power but it's a beast

the original laptop cost £850 with deals and I believe retailed at about £1k without, the idea was that it would replace my desktop when I went to uni

yeah their business laptops and support are far better, I've an XPS 15 for work and it's far more reliable

[normal fable]

Dell's pro support is awesome. Haven't had good experience with consumer support at all.

[finite basalt]

My problems also extended to things like their support forum not having a dedicated section for their g-series laptops, instead you have to go to the inspiron section, like what? It's not an inspiron 🤣

[jovial musk]

whats a good obsidian alternative that you can link freely from mac to phone and other devices?

[sand trench]

getting a good notes app for phones is hard

[buoyant tree]

If it's a mac go with the apple ecosystem of apple notes

[sand trench]

also why do you wanna replace obsidian???

it works decently on most platforms

[jovial musk]

yeah but i have it on github and cant sync it with my phone

but idk

[jovial musk]

[opal ember]

Hello everyone, I'm looking for insights on how to effectively communicate the importance of penetration testing to tech startups. What are the key arguments or approaches that have worked for you in convincing them of the need for comprehensive security assessments? Any specific examples or strategies would be greatly appreciated!

[sick lance]

This sounds pretty specific, is this your job?

[opal ember]

As I am working in a startup so I need an answer for this question like how can I convince them?

[whole yew]

penetration testing is part of a mature security program. However if the business can't justify the spend, it's not going to happen. Compliance to a security framework is very often the driver that convinces the org to do it

[woeful lily]

gusy anyone know how to obfuscate a javascript with high security

[whole yew]

NIST SP 800-53 baselines, PCI-DSS, SOX, SOC1&2, et al have requirements for internal and external pentest

[opal ember]

We are reading a lot of news like that but how to convince them did you have any strategy? Or is there any way to tell how it's important like that ? I think if I say that "x company has lost $xB I think it does make sense and it will not make them ready to agree for pen testing?

[devout palm]

Pentests simulate real-time attacks, but with the purpose of pointing them out. It helps take precautions before a real attack scenario happens and lowers the chance of losing integrity and confidence. You wouldn't know how important it is until one day your systems get compromised. So being aware of it helps a lot. I can't give advice on the financial side of this, as I am not a corporate manager.

[opal ember]

Not really a psychological standpoint, let's say I am the owner of the startup convince for x product pen testing?
