Highlights for the week
Lots of good stuff this week! Ran some personal errands which impacted some goals, but otherwise had a great week where I got to meet a new Pen Testing Professional. We talked a bit about the craft and what it takes, as well as how to get started. The answer - personal branding.
On the automation front, getting "ok" with XCode. It only took 14 years to finally get around to it. Coupled with knowing Espresso, I feel really proud of how that's come along.
Another site to practice pen testing is selected. Been grinding along.
What We Loved
- Meeting with a new Cybersecurity professional. Nothing new learned, but it was still fun.
- Made a new contact with a CISSP Security Professional. She seems like great people.
- As always, meeting with my mentees is always the highlight of my week. Got to iron out some important things regarding her job prospects and career choice.
- Lovin' my new PPL workout.
What We Learned
- Automation - Learned about using POM w. XCode. Need to put that in place next week. Also learning about Azure DevOps (finally!)
- Burp Suite - Closing in on completion of the labs. I won't get to all of them because I need BS Pro!
- Security - New pen testing underway. Nothing new this week.
- Security 2 - Learned a couple of things about threat modeling.
- Cult.ure - "paused"; "Husb..." - exciting chapter and interesting character revelation.
- Personally - improving the negative self talk. Learning to accept the consequences of my actions and the "why" behind them. Hoping I'm living to my true purpose.
What We Longed For
- Another week, no new updates regarding a new job. This is getting really bad!
What We Loathed
- Rejection for jobs that keep getting reposted.
- Technical interviews that involve a Leetcode/Hackerrank code challenge with zero relevance to the job you'd actually be doing.
