Re: Cyber Threat Analyst/Threat Intelligence Analyst
Agreed with soccarplayer29, it would be a senior cyber sec role in terms of expertise and not so much team management. Skillsets i would reckon would be extensive linux experience, data and network forensics, log analysis, reverse engineering 32/64, proactive and reactive defense, incident handling etc etc. It's a real… -
Re: So how does a Doctor become a hacker and also enjoy it?
Hey Odiwxe, welcome to the forum. There is a lot to unpack here, both based on what you wrote and how one would respond. You may be the first case here on the forum of a "Doctor" turning towards the security/pentesting world. First off it seems like English is your second language? There were too many errors for a doctor,… -
Re: Lost in the sea of certs
Hey there! I feel the most important thing you should do, is to take one or two days off and just really reflect and get a feel of what you want to do. Do you want to move on to doing pentesting and breaking into devices/sites/networks? CEH, eJPT, OSCP, GPEN Do you want to move on to something managerial after your current… -
Re: Ambitious Student in need of Career Advice
Understand that becoming a CISO comes after a long progression from technician to manager to executive. So I'd focus for now on the technical roles within security that you're interested in because that's the foundation of any infosec career. CS vs CIS degree: Do you want to be involved in secure software development,… -
Re: Goal is to be in InfoSec, not sure what path of Certs to seek
Certs aren't everything, but when people here ask me what certification path to aim for in terms of security or general flow of learning all things security via certs, I recommend CompTIA Network+ (since you need a basic network foundation for many infosec principles) CompTIA Security+ (base starting point) or SANS SEC301:… -
Review of the SANS504 (GCIH) Course
Hey guys! Just finished the SANS504 course today, obtained my SEC504 CTF coin and thought that I might give a little review! The course is structured really well, with a focus on IR on the first day, followed by hacker techniques and tools (and how to look out for them) on our networks. It really reinforces that in order… -
Passed GWAPT
Sorry this probably won't be a full review like I may have normally posted. I tested out of 542 GWAPT today. As always I got close to 90 but no cigar. This is actually my first GIAC exam taken since becoming a Pentester, and my first in quite some time. I will say that the course is good, it provides decent coverage of… -
Re: Security Certifications Roadmap
Hi there, and welcome to the show. Networking knowledge is critical to working in the security field, so if you don't have a good handle on networking, N+ is a great first step. The EC Council Certified Security Specialist is a complete waste. The EC Council in general is a scam, and can be a worthwhile scam to participate… -
Re: Failed - 2nd attempt 691
I passed the exam and am waiting for my endorsement to be reviewed by isc2. Here is my advice. First, I applaud your positive attitude and perseverance. I know a lot of CISSPs and many had to retest, some more than once, and these are smart guys so you'll be in good company. If it was easy the cert would not be as valuable… -
Re: Australia: Can't get out of L1 Helpdesk, guidance needed
Thanks for your reply! Regarding the "bolstering your skill set with certs relevant to what you do": I've acquired the MCP Server 2012 cert, but am starting to have a serious look at the MCSE for Windows 8.1 ("Enterprise Devices and Apps"), and take the upgrade exams for Win10 when they are made available. I think there's…
