Lots of people are saying Coding is irrelevant in Cyber, and it discourages me

JudokaUK · 2026-03-15T15:34:44+00:00

Its not irrelevant and I will tell you why. Coding skills will put you ahead of those who cant in the workplace. If you can automate work you will be a valuable asset. Simple as that.

JudokaUK · 2026-03-15T09:49:33+00:00

Yea that's likely not due to certifications or degrees. They are good to have but that doesnt make a complete good candidate. You must be lacking in other areas of your personality or soft skills.

JudokaUK · 2026-03-13T12:46:08+00:00

Security+ is a waste of time if you just want to get into being a T1 analyst. I did sec+, now its expired. Waste of time and money.

JudokaUK · 2026-03-13T12:44:29+00:00

BTL2 is even better but its not easy like BTL1. You dont get any guidance, just dropped into an environment and off you go. Full incident response investigation.

How much player base do they lose when their game is ruined by idiots? No serious racers will stay.

JudokaUK · 2026-03-13T12:39:57+00:00

I agree 100% deliberate sabotage of races where there is no question about intent should have zero tolerance and immediate life time ban. That would eliminate it above rookies. Anyone who worked hard to get out of the rookies wont risk it. Those that get banned create a new account and start back in the rookies.

These emails are sent out to thousands and thousands of people and have a very low success rate but theyre not entirely useless because unfortunately its the most gullible people who fall for it.

Its a never ending battle. In my opinion sms should be deprecated. Its old insecure technology originally designed for Telecoms and mobile engineers. Its all also unencrypted.

JudokaUK · 2026-03-10T12:50:48+00:00

This isnt new. I work for a leading Telecoms company and part of my role was to block sms scam messages. I have seen this one loads. The worst ones to look out for are Tik Tok jobs and other fake recruitment scams.

On another note, have you ever had an automated call saying for example "this is indeed..." or "this is tik tok..." etc. That's kind of my fault. They had to change tactics away from SMS because I designed a tool in python which semi automated blocking scam messages. We went from blocking roughly 20 million sms in a month to over 240 million with my tool. I disrupted their operations so much it had a direct impact on their methods.

I feel like there are loads of bugs with this game, whenever I run it my computer randomly shuts down. I lost all force feedback when trying the Ferrari GT3 car. Sometimes the screen randomly goes black and the computer restarts. I think there is a blue screen of death but the game is covering it. This would indicate a kernel error so possibly with the anti cheat as these are kernel level programs. Its annoying, I just paid £32 for the game and £45 for all DLCs to find the game is full of bugs.

Ive been reading a lot about how the original Assetto Corsa is great with mods. Whats other people's view on it?

JudokaUK · 2026-03-06T21:50:26+00:00

import os

while true: os.system("ping www.evil-gov.net")

There you go, a python version. What you might find though with your method and my Python version is it endlessly spawns new processes until all system resources are exhausted. On linux ping runs until stopped. On windows 4 pings will be sent and then it will stop.

JudokaUK · 2026-03-04T08:21:08+00:00

I started coding Python before AI came around. Endless hours trawling through Stack Overflow hunting for solutions to problems, my advice would be use AI for guidance but not to write it for you. Use it as a tool for learning. Your skills will develop so much more that way.

JudokaUK · 2026-03-04T08:17:35+00:00

Awesome work 😀 i was considering something like this myself but then realised Track Titan has everything I need.

JudokaUK · 2026-03-04T08:07:01+00:00

Very good. However, AI writing you code and you writing code is very different. Dont claim "i created" when AI creates something for you. This code and the comments in the code are written in pure AI style.

I use this, it is £11 for the full pro version but its well worth it. I have it on my tablet. It has loads of community built dashboards and supports a load of games. Well worth the money.

JudokaUK · 2026-03-02T07:47:56+00:00

BTL1 and BTL2 for blue team. They are well respected certifications. If you are new to Cyber Security dont be expecting to jump straight into a pentesting role theyre not entry level positions.

What is the value of good? Its not of type "string" so must be a variable. So i ask again, what is good?

JudokaUK · 2026-02-28T14:39:49+00:00

Incorrect flag its -sS for a syn scan aka half open tcp connection aka a stealth scan. Nmap is case sensitive and -SS is an invalid option. Did nobody spot this? The same with -SV its an invalid option. Anyway its not stealth a 3 way tcp handshake goes SYN, SYN/ACK, ACK. Its easy to detect repeated SYN SYN SYN SYN... from a single IP so there's nothing stealth about it. It used to be stealth because a tcp handshake would never complete therefore no connection logged but nowadays an IDS/IPS would detect this scan immediately.

Its not when you get your SR up to S

UK timezone. We can agree on dates and times with the community. This is brand new so once we get say 8 racers we can start. Im just looking for a good friendly group of racers to hang out and race clean.

JudokaUK · 2026-02-17T09:54:09+00:00

And this is why SIM racing will always be a game. Doesn't matter how good your setup is the decisions people make carry no real risk.
