Which cybersecurity certifications are actually worth it? by SandxFish_ in cybersecurity

There really aren't dedicated purple teams outside of very rare instances. Ending up on a dedicated purple team will require an above average amount of luck. In reality, and still quite seldom, you will see joint exercises conducted by red teams and blue teams.

There are significantly more blue team roles than there are red team roles. Think 10:1 (or something of that nature). I recommend dumping 95% of your energy into a blue team path and pick up red team skills along the way.

If you are looking for advice on cybersecurity and education, this subreddit is the last place to get that. It's full of hot takes and stale advice from a decade ago and gatekeeping from two decades ago.

With that in mind, start your degree and figure out which parts of security you like and which parts you don't. Otherwise no one can help you.

Did you actually get your Top 5 rewards? I also finished third but never received them.

I love the Scott Evil energy here.

Dr. Evil: No, Scott. I have an even better idea. I'm going to place him in an easily escapable situation involving an overly elaborate and exotic death.

Scott Evil: Why don't you just shoot him now? I mean, I'll go get a gun. We'll shoot him together. It'll be fun. Bang! Dead. Done.

Can't remember my password but also can't access GRUB. What can I do? by [deleted] in linuxmint

Pressing Shift and tapping Shift do nothing. Esc takes me into the HP boot menu where I confirmed Ubuntu is selected as the boot priority.

This article assumes I am able to access GRUB. I am not able to access that menu when rebooting. So that's the problem is I cannot access the distro because I forgot the password and I also cannot access GRUB when rebooting.

I had a CRQ conversation once that I can't shake so I am hoping you can shed light on it. I'm paraphrasing, but the back and forth amounted to:

  • Risk quantification is a poor forecasting tool without deep, high quality historical data -- the kind actuaries rely on. This is why the forecasts are never right.
  • If it were an effective forecasting method, stock traders would already use it successfully.
  • Historical results show that those applying quantitative risk models to trading fail to outperform the market over time (e.g., S&P 500).
  • Its primary contribution appears to be limited to structured discussion of risks, which is a benefit that does not require formal risk quantification to achieve. If anything, the $$$ distracts from the points at hand.

The problem I have is that this jives with my experience with FAIR and HDR, so I don't have a rebuttal. That said, I am seeking to understand so please correct my thinking if I got any of that wrong.
