Security Testing Journal Entry | w/e Friday September 29, 2023


Highlights for the week

September has come to a close and not a lot has changed since last week. Lots of jobs applied to. Lots of rejection letters. Practicing Pen Testing some more. Also, it rained a lot. I'm enjoying my friends prospering in their professional station. My turn will come. It has to!

What We Loved

  1. Finished the 4-stars for "Juice Shop" - I paused at some of the more outlandish ones, and employing the Password Reset featue.
  2. Was able get a tiny infusion of money from the credit card. I need a job a.s.a.p to pay these bills down.

What We Learned

  1. Sec+ - Steadily moving through Unit 4 Module concerning Incident Response. Really cool.
  2. TCM/Juice Shop - Closed the book on that. Started a new site, ready to run a PT next week. Strongly considering Mobile Pen Testing.
  3. Burp Suite Cert - Looked into it, it costs $99
  4. Signed up for ISC(2), will see how that works.
  5. Google Cybersecurity Cert - ?? - need info.
  6. Automation - Got some foundational scripts for WebdriverIO, but a recent update to Google Chrome disrupted the execution. An update didn't help. Will revisit next week.
  7. Cult.ure - Started "Bloodhound, Phase-5" chapter. I'm behind on my progress as job hunting was the #1 priority.

What We Longed For

  1. As always, a good job, great pay, benefits, and awesome people.

What We Loathed

  1. Rejection emails on Fridays are the worst!! WTF to that!
