Security Testing Journal Entry | w/e Friday February 2, 2024 - "SO Birthday Ed."

Highlights for the week

The lateness of this post comes at a time when I was celebrating my wife's birthday (as pathetic as money can allow) and a lot was happening .. sort of. Here we go!

What We Loved

1. Good things happening with my mentees this week. More to come.
2. Spent a good amount of time playing with ChatGPT.

What We Learned

1. ChatGPT - built up a nice repository of test cases
2. Burp Suite - finally finished the web cache labs. Skipped a bunch.
3. Coursera - Week-1 in the bag. Very very high-level overview of Pen Testing. I mean lacking in so much information it was mind boggling.
4. ISC(2) - As stated before, I don't think I will be pursuing the certification.
5. Automation - finally fixed my pytest automation. Will make progress on what remains.
6. Cult.ure - paused! The work on "Husb.." is coming along nicely.

What We Longed For

1. As always, an income and a paycheck

What We Loathed

1. Self-doubt and low-vibration. Gave into temptation .. again!
