@wearyandroid Sad to hear that. Something similar to my situation. I got off from learning, and again leaning back to it. Keep grinding, you'll find it.
@GrahamHelton3 Live Pentests and report writing.
I loved your Practical Phishing assessments , few years back. And, sure will be waiting to get some more practical experiences from you.
@CheddarB0b42 Yes! I guess it brings out the real-time SOC work. Been doing static analysis with autopsy, wireshark,splunk,etc. and I love doing so. I think I'm gonna try this, but its for enterprises and not for individuals, right?
@payloadartist@navifinance Few months back the ministry of art& culture website was taken control of. No one's concerned of data anyway. whether its pvt or pub.
Just a few lakhs of VDP, and all this loss of crores could be avoided.
@soychotic By no means, I've experienced proton as honeypot.
Almost no spams till now for 5yrs.
Hosting own email server, atleast requires money and some technical knowledge and, still gets into the hands of spammers.
@GrahamHelton3 Almost no security addition, as if one possesses a password, he will have it for a long term and not just for some seconds for 1st input. So, its just creates the friction for users.
The best way to learn hacking is to be a thirteen year old with an underdeveloped moral compass, no notion of consequences, and a mind-numbing education system to fuel your existential boredom.
So,
This 2025 will be actually cool.
I'll reboot my IT security learnings since I left it for 2 yrs or so. Focusing on essential skills first and then on bug bounty.
If available, I'll freelance in pentesting when I'm capable of doing so.
@jakecreps I have done this for some of my reports. All of them got rejected. Probably for being "out-of-scope", even though it could actually affect the organisation.
