Security Testing Journal Entry | w/e Friday April 26, 2024 - "Spring Cleaning & Healing" Ed.


Highlights for the week

Stepping out of my comfy zone to post about a project, warts & all (lesson - have your ducks in a row); tested IOT devices - awesome!; learned iOS Mobile (lesson - need to improve lab); Part of my personal spring cleaning (see "What we learned)

What We’re Grateful For

  1. Gratful the moon woke me up early, which meant I got a good night's sleep and feel awesome! Was also productive
  2. Grateful for having a roof over my head, a full fridge, and good health
  3. Grateful to be humbled by learning new things and making rookie mistakes
  4. Grateful for meeting my personal, professional, and fitness goals this past month!

What We Loved

  1. New opportunities testing IOT devices

What We Learned

  1. Learning to take action, especially when its difficult or challenging .. may result in a win or not!
  2. Learning to get rid of limiting beliefs & pick up affirmations
  3. Working on getting rid of old habits & pick up new "good" ones
  4. Tough week for getting anything done. Pen testing is behind schedule.
  5. Finally got Azure working. Learned there was a request that needed to be made, probably to prevent bit mining.
  6. Posted API security automation test and was met with some great (humbling) feedback. Note to self - make sure to be 100% perfect before going live!
  7. Spent last weekend with iOS DIVA. Need to set up my framework to test better.
  8. "Husb ..." {paused} -- been a hectic, productive week for QA testing

What We Longed For

  1. I said it last week, and I'll probably keep saying it ... a good job, with great pay and benefits, working with cool people, doing cool sh**

What We Loathed

  1. Unemployment sucks!
  2. Ghost jobs suck!
  3. Feeling like I'm never going to get a job ... definitely sucks!
