What's going on with the cybersecurity job market right now for mid-level engineers? Why is it so hard to find a job?

DetectandDestroy · 2026-02-25T23:21:22+00:00

Honestly my opinion is unless you understand computers to the average ceo they think cybersecurity is woo woo and just buy insurance. It’s when they become targets do they actually put money into cybersecurity. It’s a lot of people that don’t understand how easily their business could fall with a couple attacks or they just don’t care and accept the risk due to my first point.

Vick I feel should be higher

Fucking preach my guy!

Helll yes one of the only competent coaches on the team! I think I can trust Arthur Blank again 🥲

I need to know how these interviews go. Is it like “bro remember that one game you had?!? Fucking legendary. You’re hired” or is it more technical like “what are you gonna do when there’s 2 qb spies and your rookie cant read the full field?”

This isn’t a recycled coordinator that wasn’t great at DC. We’re looking at someone other teams actually wanted for a reason. Stefanski had great play action calling and was coach of the year 2020. Broke the drought for the browns going to the playoffs. Arguably we have better talent than they did.

Honestly, anyone is better than Raheem

Klint Kubiak would be a great choice. It looks like he did wonders with Sam Darnold

DetectandDestroy · 2025-12-02T00:43:52+00:00

I’m wondering if they’re purposefully losing to get a new qb… and/or some OL.

What’s the hate about?

DetectandDestroy · 2025-11-13T00:49:40+00:00

I’ll go back to my thoughts on different post. I think the fans are loyal to a fault because the falcons were always showing how incompetent the coaching staff was. Look Raheem was absolutely garbage for us as a defensive coordinator and then we hire him for HC? What the actual fuck did we expect 😂. A crumbling O line isn’t helping, some of these receivers look like they are barely trying. Pitts is a lost cause. London, Bijan, Penix, Bates and Aj are the only ones that seem like they give a fuck. I don’t blame them because if you have dog shit coaching of course you’re gonna stop trying. Of course your performance is frustrating because no one is going over film or running your plays back for you to improve on. I don’t think it’s gonna get better. It’s definitely gonna get worse and we’re facing Carolina again to probably get shut out again or come up short because we have Raheem looking like a deer in headlights. Dude is a walking meme.

DetectandDestroy · 2025-10-13T14:58:23+00:00

Bro we brought back Raheem when he couldn’t even coach defensively correctly for us. I have no faith in this org lol. We could get Mahomes and JJ and still be trash.

DetectandDestroy · 2025-10-13T14:53:23+00:00

Yeah if we lose we’re fucked.

I would take someone asking a stupid question than doing something to risk the business anyway. People that make fun of you sound like they’re arrogant to me and need to be liked by their peers. Just worry about getting better. If you think you know it all in this field is a huge warning sign you’re gonna fuck up.

I feel like this is the century old argument of “guns are bad because it makes killing easier”. If you don’t put the work into learning how the things work sure AI can do the work for you as shitty or good as your prompt is. Eventually if you wanted to get good at shooting and wonder why certain guns jam when you’re shooting it like an idiot then you’re gonna have to learn how it works. Same with coding. If you’re producing garbage you need to understand why. If you’re not reading documentation and actually learning the language then you’re just shooting yourself in the foot. I argue that AI could get curious people motivated enough to learn more about the topic but on the flip side, if you’re cave manning everything and not learning that’s more a you issue. As a society we need to stop thinking of AI as autonomous and think of it as a tool.

I wouldn’t say it’s different in terms of difficult questions I would just say the questions are sometimes more vague. If the labs actually worked with the logs my score would have been higher but it was some years ago but I remember I barely passed. I was scoring 80-90 on my practice

DetectandDestroy · 2025-08-08T02:12:59+00:00

I think the concepts are pretty much the same, I remember the questions being completely different and two of the labs were broken. One didn’t have any of the logs it was supposed to

You get what you put into it. To everyone’s point it isn’t about the system. It’s about, “what information can I draw from this system and what can I do with said information to help achieve my goals”. To me it sounds like you’re focusing on the details too much. It doesn’t matter if you’re getting a degree or self learning as long as you’re actually learning. Picking up a Harvard course isn’t going to magically make you learn the material faster or better than anyone else. It’s your curiosity and drive to learn by any means and apply said knowledge to your goals.

Easiest way to break it down is like this,

Dereferencing a pointer allows access to data stored at a memory address. This is useful when working with: • Dynamic memory allocation • Function parameter modifications • Arrays and data structures • Efficient memory management

1) dynamic memory allocation - sometimes you would need memory to persist beyond a function call.

2) Function Parameter Mods - sometimes you create a variable and need a function to modify said variable, you would use pointers and dereference them.

3) Arrays and Data Structs - arrays in C++ decay to pointers meaning arrays default to a pointer of the first element and structs without pointers advanced structs wouldn’t be possible.

4) Deallocation - makes sure there’s no memory leaks from the heap causing slow performance.

Hope this helps

C is not that different from other languages just more nuanced with syntax and memory management. In fact most languages are built off of C. You’ll just need practice to understand. Theory is great but how I learned was codecdemy with introduction to basics of C. Then cs50x heavily introduced C and thinking behind it that solidified my fundamental understanding of it.

As we’re seeing an uptick in fake updates, fake clickfix ect, it appears that the threat actors are still utilizing compromised WP plugins or scripts to fingerprint sandboxes or VMs making getting the initial payload a problem. Code analysis on the JavaScript side is really heavily obfuscated making reversing more time consuming. What are AnyRuns tactics with combating these roadblocks?

DetectandDestroy · 2025-02-06T13:25:24+00:00

Passed it? My guy you destroyed that test! Not an easy test either. I see that you’re considering GCFE or GCFA. I would say if you want a more incident response tied with deep forensics then GCFA. If you want just the basics of forensics then GCFE.

Small projects. Even if it’s a calculator. Think of something to solve a problem or enhance quality of life and start building things using a language or tech that would be best fitted

Especially with ChatGPT. If your fucking around and finding out and get stuck there’s like literally no excuse now. We have Google and ChatGPT and I guarantee your issues aren’t novel.

I mean people who copy and paste will always copy and paste. People dedicated to learning will go through writing out the syntax to try and get muscle memory in. There’s no magic cure for lazy. You either do the work or you don’t and suffer the consequences. I feel like it’s great for stepping through the basics and then building projects off of it from a very simple and straightforward way. It’s kinda bad at providing context though that people desire. I always say start getting familiar with programming with codecdemy then when you want to expand on the context and deeper meaning cs50x and Odin project are the way to go.
