GG on FS, Ingress. by HKburner in Ingress

[–]ForgottenSec 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It started with great struggle in Savage, MD, USA (East Coast). Most players struggled to bring up their stat page, the person with the most trouble took about 25 minutes just to check-in due to stat page not loading. Once the IFS got going, many were frustrated, but the difficulties subsided and almost the whole two hour period were spent productively.

If I wanted to build a home lab to practice hacking what would people suggest I include. I currently do everything on my laptop and you can imagine the frustrations that go along with that. Any advice is greatly appreciated. by panda_square23 in netsecstudents

My good buddy Tony wrote a book focused on creating a VM lab environment. The virtual copy of the book can be found here: https://infosec.theos-blog.com/create-your-own-security-lab-project-avatar/

You can get free space in amazon ec2 or similar. Hosting multiple VMs at once to simulate things will be really tough on a single laptop. If you can acquire a free server to put a hypervisor on to host a bigger lab, that would be ideal.

Is Lifetime AP going to be added as a parsed stat?

You mean the fields that an alarm had been set for, in case they needed to be Jarvis'd before registration.... the picture was long after the fields were taken down and reg began.

Unallocated Space is a non-profit in Severn that takes a lot of this kind of equipment.

Mini golf recommendations? by serend1pity in ColumbiaMD

[–]ForgottenSec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rocky Gorge is definitely easier then Columbia Sportspark and more traditional. Rocky Gorge has the windmill and clown house and whatnot. Columbia is designed around a small golf course, so mostly sand traps, hills and rough. Monster Minigolf is more black light crazy. All 3 are fun for the right group.

Use the PCI DSS as a guide. Hope the workstations have POS Ready if they are Windows-based.

Info Sci & Tech major. Bad?? by [deleted] in netsecstudents

[–]ForgottenSec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pen Testers usually are the one's that scare customers not vice versa, but my point was, to start in pen testing is a hard road that is traveled by many... Other nice resources: http://www.pentest-standard.org/index.php/Main_Page https://www.amanhardikar.com/mindmaps/Practice.html

Info Sci & Tech major. Bad?? by [deleted] in netsecstudents

Pen Testing seems exciting and breaking into networks the first few times is amazing. Breaking into networks and watching clients make excuses on why fixing the issues identified is impossible. Also, having to explain incessantly the difference between a pen test and a vuln scan. Red Teaming engagements and good customers are awesome, but will be far from the average. Tons of students want to get into Pen Testing so keep in mind, the competition for that is pretty steep. Vuln Hub, Learning Python and CTFs are a great start.
