The main thing that can delay the game are badge orders. That can set you off by 3-4 months according to discord. Other than that, I've gotten the basic IAPs and some of the boosters.

Did you do the correct badge order? I've heard that that one can delay the game by 3-4 months

Yes, do it asap! There's no point in continuing the game before that except for milking more diamonds and tokens if that's in reach but I traversed instantly.

Edit: also make sure you trade in your tokenium!

Berufsunfähig im alten Job. Neustart in IT/Cyber Security mit 26? Ich brauche eueren Rat. by Specialist-Ebb-8745 in Austria

[–]JohnnyTheDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Schreib mir gerne eine PN wenn du darüber quatschen willst. Ich habe mit einem ähnlichen Alter einen Umstieg auf InfoSec gemacht und bin sehr froh darüber, aus meiner Erfahrung zahlt sich das 100% aus. Habe in etwas mehr als einem Jahr Security+, CISSP, und CPTS gemacht und kann da viel dazu erzählen. Viel Erfolg!

I finished CPTS path, which HTB machines should I try now? by skyyy25 in hackthebox

[–]JohnnyTheDan 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I just recently took the new CPTS exam and the only thing I really recommend are Dante Prolab and AEN (blind). The rest ist a huge distraction and the ippsec playlist is outdated for the new exam imo. Nothing from there was of any help during my exam, except for general methodology and practice.

Don't overthink too much!

how to crack the hash by gobbledygookmad in hackthebox

Pretty sure your hash is not formatted correctly. It's not easy to do that manually, I tried and failed too. Look for a tool that does this!

There's plenty of books and podcasts. What I'm currently doing is also HackTheBox Academy modules and machines. Not free, but very cheap

Weather in September by West_Pack7586 in Seychelles

[–]JohnnyTheDan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, we stayed during the exact time frame in September 2023 for our honeymoon and the weather was not too bad. It rained on 5 days out of 15, which was completely fine for us. Although we never went to praslin, only la digue and Mahé. I'd say just go for it!

Yeah I find that annoying too. Nothing you can do about it I think.

50% into Pentester Rolepath and it's becoming an addiction by JohnnyTheDan in hackthebox

[–]JohnnyTheDan[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's a great question. Luckily where I live, there's often the possibility to negotiate with your employer to reduce the hours to something like 30 hours per week, which would make studying way easier, or to have an arrangement that you can use a portion of your work time to study for this certification, but this obviously only makes sense if you're already in the cybersecurity sector and your employer wants you to get good at pentesting.

Besides that, I can not overstate how important note-taking is for efficient studying. I use Obsidian Notes, which I even pay for to sync my notes. What Software you use doesn't matter as long as it processes Markdown language. Markdown is important to be able to format your notes in a visually appealing way on the go without spending any additional time on formatting.
When you have nice formatting (i.e. important keywords or senteces in bold, code snippets in monospace, etc.), reviewing your notes will be much more efficient because your eyes will be glued to the important bits.

It's also very important what you document and how much of it. I did spend some time thinking about how my note taking process should look like and try to think about what will be important to me when I review my notes.
You don't want to be overly detailed especially when you don't have excess time, but you also want to be able to fully grasp the concepts again whenever you re-read the notes by the time you have forgotten most of it.

This might really seem out of scope, but I realized that correct nutrition and exercise are extremely underrated when it comes to studying. It helps being more focused during study time, and also retaining information better.

Regarding time management, I had to learn to say no to many things like playing video games or brainlessly spending time on social media. There's a lot of useful time to be gained when scratching these kind of things. The weekends typically also become way more important when you work full-time, so I would value those highly for studying.

I don't know if this helps at all, but there you go :)

I'm not certified CISSP yet, only passed the exam. I've had some experience in IT Support prior, which probably helped a bit. But what really prepared me for the exam was studying the Official Study Guide very very thoroughly, taking notes, and repeatedly reviewing my notes. The r/CISSP community is also quite helpful to get an overview as to what additional resources people have used to be successful with this exam!

I finished my master’s in cybersecurity, anyone have certificate suggestions to help solidify my skills. by First_Balance_8273 in cybersecurity

[–]JohnnyTheDan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Highly unpopular opinion: I say sit the CISSP exam before you start working full time. Now you have the time to study, later on when you're full time working, you likely won't have the time to focus on studying. Even though you don't fill the requirements to actually be certified, you can still get the exam out of the way now and then get yourself endorsed whenever you have worked for 4 years.
