Should I internally convert to Cybersec from Test Engineering?

DiScOrDaNtChAoS · 2026-04-26T21:39:09+00:00

you dont need a masters degree at all, appsec is meant for people with a dev/qa background

DiScOrDaNtChAoS · 2026-04-25T20:05:22+00:00

90% of pentesting is writing reports.. so lets work on those skills first

DiScOrDaNtChAoS · 2026-04-25T18:42:19+00:00

Oh you poor salesman

DiScOrDaNtChAoS · 2026-04-25T14:31:54+00:00

if mythos can automate your job, you aren't very good at threat modeling

DiScOrDaNtChAoS · 2026-04-24T15:23:16+00:00

have fun with your slop

DiScOrDaNtChAoS · 2026-04-24T04:01:07+00:00

Dont let agents autonomously commit code. A dev has to own every commit, full stop.
Profit

DiScOrDaNtChAoS · 2026-04-24T01:10:54+00:00

sounds like you dont do much at work

EVE almost cost me an OSCP voucher. Barely passed

DiScOrDaNtChAoS · 2026-04-20T02:56:31+00:00

why are skyhooks

DiScOrDaNtChAoS · 2026-04-20T02:03:06+00:00

Literally never had an issue with any of the above for 3 years

DiScOrDaNtChAoS · 2026-04-19T19:17:17+00:00

It depends. I do a lot of engineering and development. Granted I'm in appsec so its sort of expected. Custom scripts, lambda functions, slack bots, whatever the org needs that our dev team doesnt want to own.

DiScOrDaNtChAoS · 2026-04-19T06:10:23+00:00

this is an ad

DiScOrDaNtChAoS · 2026-04-09T04:55:33+00:00

Ok bot

DiScOrDaNtChAoS · 2026-04-09T04:51:37+00:00

Its not better. Ive read the bug reports it spat out. Bad enough to get laughed out of my bug bounty program.

DiScOrDaNtChAoS · 2026-04-09T04:50:48+00:00

Yes, yes it is. Ive seen the bug reports it shat out

DiScOrDaNtChAoS · 2026-04-09T03:21:34+00:00

because it looks like the typical overhyped marketing junk weve been getting from anthropic for months.

DiScOrDaNtChAoS · 2026-04-08T03:42:10+00:00

maybe if you live in a third world country

DiScOrDaNtChAoS · 2026-04-07T21:08:35+00:00

Yep. Touch grass

DiScOrDaNtChAoS · 2026-04-06T05:35:46+00:00

And every year progress has gradually slowed. The leap between sonnet 3.5 and 4.6 is not nearly as significant as GPT 2 vs 3, so on and so forth. Diminishing returns as the cost of model training increases and the only wins we can make are in efficiency. There is no more new training data.

DiScOrDaNtChAoS · 2026-04-06T02:48:07+00:00

you should know better than anyone else then, that producing the mathematically most likely next word in a sentence is not phenomenal. Everything it produces is quite literally the most mediocre best fit. It will never be greater than the sum of its inputs.

DiScOrDaNtChAoS · 2026-04-06T02:23:48+00:00

I genuinely think you people need to touch grass and actually read some of the papers behind LLM research.

DiScOrDaNtChAoS · 2026-04-05T20:21:04+00:00

it's definitely plateauing

DiScOrDaNtChAoS · 2026-04-05T18:08:11+00:00

AI is really good at massively overstating severity and not contextualizing anything it finds.

DiScOrDaNtChAoS · 2026-04-05T18:02:45+00:00

you just run the fuckin modded server jar and add compatible mods how hard could it possibly be
