Security Testing Journal Entry | w/e Friday November 8, 2024 - "Get workin' on Network'n" Ed.


Highlights for the week

Had a tremendous week full of learning, writing, and interviewing. Got to conduct my first onsite test, met my manager in person, and learned a lot more about network pentesting.

What We’re Grateful For

  1. Just like I wrote last week, I'll never stop thanking the good lord for the wonderful job with wonderful people.
  2. With the holidays in full swing, I'm ever grateful for having a wonderful family and the means to provide.

What We Loved

  1. Looooved getting to work with my manager and conducting an onsite security assessment. Met some cool nurses too.
  2. Loved working with a co-worker patient enough to teach me a little more about getting network pen testing scans started.
  3. Thrilled that I got to write my first pentest report. The feedback was great.

What We Learned

  1. CISSP is in the final throes. 1 more chapter and I'm done. Need to circle back on the weaker chapters.
  2. Learned how to use recon-ng to perform OSINT on an IP.
  3. Learned how to set up my first internal and external network scan.
  4. Sent my first client communication.

What We Longed For

  1. Nothing!

What We Loathed

  1. Not really a loathe, but my project teammate was missing a bit and the project report is behind schedule by a bit. On a personal level, I don't have much to loathe.
