How did you actually learn pentesting?
1. TryHackMe
2. HackTheBox
3. Youtube + labs
4. Udemy/Coursera/etc.
5. Just broke stuff until it worked

[The Bit Stack @thebitstack]

Security analysts: Which tool is open on your screen %90 of the day?
1. Wireshark
2. Splunk
3. VirusTotal
4. Burp Suite

[The Bit Stack @thebitstack]

Unpopular opinion time. The most overrated hacking tool is:
1. Metasploit
2. Kali linux (the whole distro)
3. Nessus
4. sqlmap

Anyone can build a password strength checker.
I’m turning mine inti a security platform.
10 issues (for now). CLI->REST API->anomaly detection->dashboard->Docker.
Building it all in public.
