Just tryna get my lab environment set up so I can try and exploit some vunrebilities

Im following this book that was written a few years ago so its all outdated, I finally got Ming and Hyperion installed but because of all the updates I did, the 20gb disk I've assigned is full

I've added another 50gb to the vm but cant expand the Kali partition cos i cant unmount

After all that shyt i may have to start again

If you want to learn C, Assembly, and Buffer Overflows. I recommend Hacking: The art of exploitation & Corelan tutorials

For general Pen testing knowledge, Penetration testing : a hands-on introduction to hacking & this free class by Offensive Security on Metasploit

Web App testing, The Web Application Hacker's Handbook: Finding and Exploiting Security Flaws, 2nd Edition You can use these sites to lab XSS, XSRF, SQLi, etc - Web Application Exploits and Defenses , Vulnhub, or Owasp Broken Web App

will use these for sure

Was it you doing the OSCP?

Edit: The hands on book is the one I'm actually using to set up these labs

The first one looks good, gonna throw it on my Kindle - I am learning alot from the Pentesting book but it at times I feel like I'm just following along so I think the first book will fill out some of those gaps

Just had a telephone interview, my man said he's concerned that I'm going to be there for 12 months and leave. He was right on the money.

How did he come up with that assumption.

My CV is Big Data oriented but the vacancy was Cisco related, I'm early in my career and still trying to find my niche but Big Data is my area of interest. I was open to the job because they were offering to pay for me to get Cisco certified.

Java will put you in the game....

fyi

Bachelor's + 3 years java = $60k-70k

+ 5 years $85k-$100k


5 years ago...I never thought I could ask for over $85k

That is what is on my profile on dice.com...and they call and email DAILY

Are you talking a bachelor's in just basic IT +3yrs of java

 

[Youseenmywork]

dont even focus on microsoft at all unless you want to do microsoft network administration, i would say you sound more networking centric, learn the basics

network interconnection
osi model
TCP/IP model (understanding packets/analyzing packets)
IPv4/IPv6
topologys
differences between intranet and internet
OSPF
ICMP
NAT/PAT
client/server networking
peer-to-peer networking
network architectures (fast eth, 10gbit, etc)
WAN/LAN/MAN
iptables/ipf - understanding packet filters
switches/routers
VLANS

using linux is a good base to start too, setup apache, postfix, mysql, maybe go throught he steps of setting up a wordpress site or something, and then setup iptables with a firewall

I will advice you to take a lot of practice exams as well and also do a lot of real world practice since that will be the skill you will need to hold on to a job.

I will upload a simulator which shows you how to put together a computer and laptop. Once you get comfortable with that practice with actual PC's, that is the only way the material will stick

I barely read any of those long books...I do a lot of hands-on and practice exams.

I bought a ccna course on udemy and just started. I may be an hour in. Would building a cheap home lab help me better understand the concepts this course is teaching?

Du'An Lightfoot has a video of how he built one for $105.
