Security Testing Journal Entry | w/e Friday May 3, 2024 - "May the 4th Be With You .. Always!" Ed.


Highlights for the week

Mildly uneventful week. Managed to complete another pen test, completed the refactor of API security tests, and kicked off a campaign to automate some manual pen tests. Overall, a pretty good week.

What We’re Grateful For

  1. Happy that I got to add another pod/live stream to my menu, this one deals with Cybersecurity news!
  2. Grateful for good health and well-being
  3. Grateful to have a full refrigerator (despite the absence of income)
  4. Grateful for another month with a roof over my head
  5. Thankful that a recruiter reached out to me and forwarded my application (finger's crossed)

What We Loved

  1. Mom's birthday - we're talking. She still has yet to acknowledge what she's done, but I'm not one to hold grudges.
  2. May is great for "Star Wars Nerds" (5/4) and Cinco De Mayo! As well as Mother's Day!

What We Learned

  1. Automation - Learned to refactor API tests using Clients and improved syntax
  2. Automation - Learned to write automation tests for DOM-Based XSS and Stored XSS .. more to come
  3. Security - completed OrangeHRM Pen Test. Really happy with how the report looks and the progress made. Next week - mobiles!
  4. "Husb..." - another week gone and no writing done. Gotta fix that and finish this.

What We Longed For

  1. Need a job

What We Loathed

  1. The lack of a job
