Re: How to get from Sys Admin to Sec Pro
Also I don't see OSCP being approved when the test (practical test) is done remotely. I could just get a buddy to do it for me. Not to say OSCP is't worth it. Is having a test done at a testing centre part of ANSI? Maybe some useful information for the original poster is that most certs now of days have to be written at a… -
Re: Got a (verbal) job offer today! (Information Security)
After today's events I am not so sure about this anymore. I have been working on the same documentation since last week; it's finally coming together and I should be off that project soon enough. In the mean time I've been going through some penetration testing study on my own time, trying to familiarize myself with the… -
Cloud Security interview questions?
So in a somewhat unexpected turn of events, a company I was talking to last year (a San Francisco borderline unicorn) finally got their shirt together and contacted me for an interview (after planning to in October, and then promising to schedule on in early January). It's a hybrid DevOps/security job (DevSecOps), that… -
GASF (Failed) :(
I have worked in the field of digital forensics, specifically mobile phone forensics for 1 and a half years, and I took the GASF exam yesterday after going to the FOR 585 course. I straight away went for that course since it is a specialized course and CERT in the field I worked in. It was the first GIAC exam I have ever… -
Linux+ (3-in-1) vs RHCSA
Hi everyone, I'm currently exploring which path I should take for getting more Linux knowledge, and also increasing marketability. I have a Linux Academy monthly account right now, and they have tons of options. I already have a decent base of Linux knowledge, but I want a solid understanding to help my pentesting career… -
Passed the CCSP!
Took the CCSP Wow that was an odd exam. For prep, I read the Official CCSP Study Guide over the past two weeks, and also did the online version of the Official CCSP Practice Exams. During the exam I felt like the book only prepared me for about 40-50% of the questions I faced. Probably 30% of the questions was stuff I… -
Re: Starting eLearnSecurity WAPT v3 today
I just finished all the labs for WAPTv3, going to use the next two-three weeks to refine topics and go over everything again. I was supposed to take the exam this week, but I got a little burned out and lazy since last thursday lol I just didn't feel the confidence and readiness to take the exam. Plus I am still waiting… -
Re: Circumventing network security via SSH Tunneling
They dont know about it. We were doing this 10 years ago. It's just another symptom of the security field being behind and not involving enough technical specialists. I recall someone who made a name for himself in the certification space some years ago, he had his own website, moving into security. In a short period of… -
Re: New to IT Security
Which certs do you already have? You might want to list them in your profile so the rest of us can see where you're coming from. There are also a couple of stickies at the top of this forum which can shed some insight on this subject, as it comes up often. When I see people talk about "getting into security," I have the… -
Re: CEH practice
Great post above! I can vouch for the books from EC-council not being worth the paper they are printed on. They're basically bound copies of the slides from the course. To add to the book list, I like Grey Hat Hacking myself. You really have to know the concepts of what makes the tools useful, why they do what they do,…
