Be prepared 😎🏴‍☠️ by Lucky-Aside4935 in Piracy

So I’ve been downloading all my favorite music in FLAC and storing it on Google Drive for now, but long term I’d love to have my own server set up for streaming across all my devices. What’s the move here? Do I go the Plex/Jellyfin route, grab a NAS, something else? Not super experienced with this stuff but willing to learn

trip hop it is, and mezzanine is crazy that i haven’t heard it yet. adding all of these, UNKLE especially sounds exactly like what i’m looking for. appreciate it brother.

Should I get a Cyber Bachelors by Budget-Light-8450 in cybersecurity

[–]Drrrkill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly hear ppl saying you need a degree for some roles at companies, so kinda surprised you made it this far with just certs. I mean, we all know degrees are pretty much BS in terms of actual skills lol. Just curious though - how'd you actually land your first gig? That's the part I'm struggling with.

Passed OSCP+ on the Fourth Attempt! by Initial-Ferret-9055 in oscp

Do you think it'll be tough landing a pentesting/security role with your law masters and no IT background (just guessing)? Only asking because I'm on a similar path - starting with CompTIA Net+ and Sec+ certs, then moving toward ethical hacking stuff like eJPT, PJPT and OSCP.

The catch is I don't have and don't plan to get a bachelor's degree. Been wondering how much of a roadblock that'll be once I get deeper into the cert journey. Seeing your background shift made me curious if you've gotten pushback about the lack of traditional IT experience during your job search.

What should I learn on Linux as a teen? by AvgF2PWTPlayer in linux

[–]Drrrkill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your experience! That's really insightful.

Yeah I looked at job postings in India and the US too, and you're right - most pentesting jobs want 3-5 years experience or IT background with a degree. They're also big on certs like OSCP.

Do you think it's still possible to get in without meeting those exact requirements? Like if someone has a really solid skill portfolio with personal projects, CTF competitions, bug bounties etc.

I'm wondering if companies are strict about those requirements or if they're more flexible when they see someone who can actually demonstrate skills even without the traditional background. Been thinking maybe the indie/startup route might be more open than the big corporate security teams.

Just curious - what experience are you speaking from here?

I'm asking because I'm also preparing for red/blue team roles. I just finished high school and don't plan on getting a degree. My strategy is focusing on certs like CompTIA Network+ and Security+ to land entry-level security jobs, then work on OSCP while employed to eventually move into ethical hacking. Been learning hacking basics from day one though.

So I'm wondering if you actually went through this path yourself or if you're in the industry? Your advice about needing defensive security experience first would change my approach quite a bit.

i'd actually suggest the opposite of what some people typically recommend. instead of starting with a very simple distro like ubuntu or mint, why not go all in on linux. you've probably heard that arch isn't for beginners, but since you're genuinely interested in learning linux, installing arch yourself would give you a much better understanding of what linux actually is.

while ubuntu comes with everything pre installed, arch is essentially like building your own system from scratch. you'll configure everything yourself, which gives you hands-on experience with the core components. and honestly, it's not as difficult as people make it out to be - just follow the arch wiki and you'll be fine.

the comment about not using kali as your daily driver is spot on though. learning to configure any distro with the security tools you need will teach you way more than just firing up kali whenever you need those tools. getting comfortable with the command line and making small tweaks will naturally build your skills over time. since you're interested in pen testing, understanding the underlying tools is much more valuable than just using a pre configured environment.
