Oscp
Hi guys. In recent days, I have found out about Kali Linux and with it, the OSCP certification. I have been working in IT for 14 years, in support, networking, server administration, team management and some basic firewalls, but never in security (well, to be fair I've passed the Security+) or penetration testing. I have… -

Re: CASP Prep
[FONT=&]Hello, I took the CASP CAS-002 exam on 13 August 2017 and passed. Thanks to the other members on this forum for recommending looking at additional study material. Although I have higher level certifications, this exam was very challenging. Challenging from the perspective that it is broad and technical. I have… -
Re: Pen testing/security assesments
If a company is asked to disclose if they could use a security assessment they could interpret that as admitting their network security is not tightened. Or if they are 'aware' they might even interpret it as a social engineering attack. What I'm trying to say is that I think you'd have more chance if you'd work for a… -
Re: Thinking About Going into Web Development
That is awesome advice right there, I am guilty of not doing things this way and in hindsight I really do wish I could adopt this mindset. That said, I am improving with this now, smaller goals in life really do equate to larger things. I have done the opposite of you Grinchy. I used to do a fair amount of freelance… -
Re: IT or IT-S, or "Advice for a 46 year-old JOAT"
I don't think at this stage for you that an IT specialization is necessary. I believe the specialization is needed for those that don't have the depth of experience. None of these certs will teach you how to really be in the IT field, nor specialized IT field. They are meant to prepare you to enter the IT field. Beyond… -
Re: Is TechExams dead?
To be more on topic, for me, my usage of this forum is in two forms...and I do visit pretty much daily (it's part of my bookmarks I open in the mornings at work). 1. I hit the front page, then click Recent Discussions. I scan maybe half that page for new things that are interesting. This is why I sometimes end up… -
Re: So I'm in my grad class and...
Being relevant is really key. I have a lot of things driving me at the moment: being able to provide for my family, succeeding for myself, going as far as I possibly can in any endeavor that I choose to do, and retiring early. I personally feel a person should have more than one skill that they have mastered, and here I'm… -
Re: Penetration testing Path
I was in the same position as you in April. I just found out about pentesting and I thought it would be the coolest thing in the world to do and have as a career. With no prior IT/ computer experience or knowledge. I started studying cert books and buying any/all hacking/security books on amazon. In the past 4 months I… -
Re: Beginner Advice
I agree with you both, SweenMachine and joemysterio. The lower-level certs are where to start because it should, theoretically, allow you to get your foot in the door and / or show management that you have the willingness to learn and pursue a higher position. I started out with the Sec+ and CWTS, then got Net+. Now I have…
