    Congrats!

    Do you have any lessons learned or advice that you wish you knew prior to taking on the venture?

    As far as lessons learned. All I can really say is try harder. I couldn't quite grasp the idea before the challenge, but I certainly can after passing.
    I guess just be prepared to do a lot of research. Nothing is going to be handed to you, as was my case with "sufference". I am an avid Linux user, so using Kali wasn't a big deal to me. The more of Linux you know, the better off you will be.

    Maybe next year. I did enjoy the buffer overflow section of the course. I was able to understand it and make sense of it all.

    What kind of programming skills is required to pass this exam?

  • BlackBeretBlackBeret Posts: 684Member ■■■■■□□□□□
    Be able to edit existing exploits, cross compile for different OS's, troubleshoot (google) error codes, repeat until the exploit works. Really the minimum is taught in the course, but I spent a lot of time searching error codes to clean up code and get it to compile.

    Even that is beyond the scope of the class. I don't come from a programming background, but I can script when needed. You just need to be able to modify code to suit your situation.

    Its really not that bad.

    I kept the hackers playbook handy, and I learned from the buffer overflow section of Penetration Testing by Georgia Weidman.
    On a side note... someone is trying to brute force my blog. Tsk tsk.
