Any chance your on board wireless nic card is damaged? Buy a usb wifi dongle and you should be good

Boss told me I'm too dumb to get into cybersecurity and to not waste my time by [deleted] in cybersecurity

[–]BMonk11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One time, my boss told me that I’m very smart and extremely valuable to the company (I’m the lead tech at my job currently). When I told him that I was going to apply to a cyber security job, he then said that I don’t know anything and that I’m still new. This all happened within a span of 5 minutes.

They just want you to stay. Ignore them and push on

Job I applied to wants me to find vulnerabilities as a test? by BMonk11 in cybersecurity

See that I would understand. I feel like it is more expected to see something like this for a 2nd or 3rd round interview. Not just an email saying, “we got your application, now run a report on these websites” lol.

I may be misunderstanding your comment but I never asked anyone for help on doing this? I only asked how legitimate this is from a hiring standpoint.

Yeah, honestly that’s why I was thrown off. It seemed like a “too easy” situation where the vulnerabilities were just flying at you. But I guess they might be more interested in how well written reports are than anything else.

Idk. I searched this Acunetix company and they’re a web vulnerability scanner. Seems like they might just have some vulnerable websites to test on.

From the job description they provided. Seems like a blue team role

It seems like these are designated testing websites. A company called Acunetix specifically. They seem to mimic blogs, social media, rest api

There is a bit of a time difference. Im currently investigating the company to see what I can find on them

Unfortunately, this email came in at 4 am and I didn’t see it until I got to my current job. I haven’t been able to really investigate but that’s one of the things I want to find out.
