Security Testing Journal Entry | w/e Friday January 20, 2023


Highlights for the week

Work to continue personal improvements, one discipline at a time. The best part about this week was the continued emphasis on positive thinking manifesting positive results. In so doing, I had a couple of interviews that went extremely well. I also coordinated efforts with a QA director of a company I'm quite familiar with, and have friends that work there.


What We Loved

  1. Making new contacts
  2. Finally starting Network+ learnings
  3. Finally writing again. Starting a book!
  4. 2 successful interviews for QA Lead positions, promsing big $$ for setting up QA from scratch
  5. Successful conversation with mentor - new mission to accomplish

What We Learned

  1. Started on the fundamentals of Networking: OSI, protocols, different connector types, different cable types
  2. Moving through BurpSuite quite nicely - learned about login exploits
  3. Set up metasploit on my machine, required another VM but it works .. next is a few tutorials

What We Longed For

  1. Miss having connections with people, namely the Security team and Unq
  2. The cool job at IBM didn't happen .. but was worth the try!

What We Loathed

  1. Nothing really bad happened. Positive vibes this week!!
