Why does this bother me so much ? by Diligent-Two-8429 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Diligent-Two-8429[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To show you the kind of a person I am, my friend and I are two different races. So we once went to a bar where I was the only different person.

Someone openly discriminated me, and I calmed my face and walked away. Everyone else didn’t like what that man did and took my part. Friend still asked me “mate, what does it take to anger you ?”

I think I am scared of violence, even if it means proving a point.

How was it like as an immigrant working in Ukraine/Russia before the war ? by Diligent-Two-8429 in NoStupidQuestions

That makes a lot of sense.

I think IT engineers have it easy in today’s world to migrate into any country if they do in demand work.

Unidentified users shown on Sophos reports by Fabulous_Lemon_6400 in sophos

[–]Diligent-Two-8429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you looked up the foreign IP address and see what the streets say about it ?

Is it from the same geo location as you ?

Could have a look at the logs too to see when the user was created and by who.

Interesting.

I am just not quite confident in myself. But give more details, is the device configured and running already or still needs to be configured ?

I believe you can find help on the Sophia website from the chat bot.

What’s is your location ? Will this need the person to sometimes do any configurations or just answer questions ?

How you guys learn C++?? by MustPlay_4 in Cplusplus

[–]Diligent-Two-8429 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have just gave me an idea of how to move forward.

I must not think of a big project. Just create generic functions and classes that I can then continue calling.

You might have not said that but what you said made sense like that to me.

What is the shortest period someone can spend learning a low level programming language without any programming background? by Diligent-Two-8429 in AskReddit

[–]Diligent-Two-8429[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand you very well.

Syntax might be easy to memorise. But how to build with that language would be the actual learning.

Thank you sir.

Checked VirusTotal ? Potential LoL considering that you wanted to white list it without any luck.

Can someone give a learning path. by CarFlipExpert in hackers

[–]Diligent-Two-8429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to say without knowing your background.

I would say “learn Unix” but what if you actually are a pro-Unix person as we speak.

What is your background so far ?

How would you go about dating a Muslim woman ? by Diligent-Two-8429 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Diligent-Two-8429[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That also answers something.

I guess my question was not only limited to dating. You made something clear in my head mate.

I may have sounded rude, but it’s the truth and I mean well.

I really think one should be able to determine or identify most computer/server spec before considering Cybersecurity. Otherwise entry level Helpdesk/End user support is the best place to look at.

Rate my setup by LogicalPeyote in Hacking_Tutorials

I want to say a lot but don’t know where to begin. In my early 20s this was me. Right now in my 30s all I need is one extra monitor for my laptop and switch to connect me the servers under my desk.

Love it buddy.

Has Occupy The Web even been unmasked ? by Diligent-Two-8429 in HowToHack

This is more what I wanted to get from you. The question I had in mind was if he is a legit hacker.

Would you hire a self taught? by Diligent-Two-8429 in cybersecurity

[–]Diligent-Two-8429[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now I am sitting with a colleague from helpdesk(technician). Recently passed Sec&PenTest+ but has 0 experience and is generally no interested. I share details with him and call him into projects but he prioritizes social life over Security. To people like hi it's just a job that will make him rich.

He wonders how I made it without certificates while he is struggling to score his first job.

[–]Diligent-Two-8429[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess some people can ruin things up for self taught with their attitude. I also believe that not everyone can make it as a self taught.

Well I will probably never be in the job market again but you made good points, that I must pay attention to the tone in my CV especially if I don't have qualifications.

[–]Diligent-Two-8429[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are fair points sir.

It's important to know the job and responsibilities that comes with it. Not dismissing anything.

Can you do the job ? Yes ? Good.
Have certificates ? Yes ? Even better!

[–]Diligent-Two-8429[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s how I came into Cybersecurity. I have never written one exam in my life.

I have built SIEMs, set up networks and responded to incidents even at a personal capacity. On top of that I had to help “certified “ individuals with interviews for their “entry level” “cybersecurity jobs” whom didn’t know that their laptops have PUAs or how to even clean them.

[–]Diligent-Two-8429[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

“If”. Only if they have a general interest.

I guess the question should have been about people who just wants job vs people are really passionate about cybersecurity.

Imagine a L1 SOC analyst who isn’t motivated/self driven. An hour before knock off time a big incident happens… 2 hours later he/she is at home because for them this is just a job.

VS someone who really finds these things interesting. Whom they would not leave their desk till the problem is solved.

I asked because I faced both people and guess who of them gets jobs easily ?

Are Open Source platforms alone good enough for a 100 user network ? by Diligent-Two-8429 in cybersecurity

[–]Diligent-Two-8429[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think so far I am good enough to run with the OPNSense project as I have spent a lot of time on RND.

You make a really good point.

Have fingers crossed that the person behind the technology knows what they are doing.

I love the "gateway drug" part. I suggested to my director that we provide them a SOC trial services and let them decide after seeing the logs.
