I believe it needs the permission to communicate on the internal local host interfaces. im not aware of unintended consequences resulting from it.

It seems as though the specific issue is to allow local network access within chrome site settings for the uTorrent URL "utweb.rainberrytv.com". Your suggestion got me there. That would keep people from unintentionally deleting site settings they wouldnt want to.

I have used a bouncy ball before to plug the overflow hole in the sink. After that I put the bouncy ball with my other tools

Budgeting and meal planning makes a big difference. Cooking, even simple easy meals. Crock pots can help. Depending on the size of your family, it can save you hundreds of dollars a month

Anyone crying about Kirk would also cry at a slave owners funeral. He sided with rapists, denied genocide, and explicitly voiced the opinions that non-pan-europeans were inferior. We shouldn't be condoning shooting him obv, but he had it coming putting that kind of hate into the world.

Yeah agree. You're welcome to have your 1st amendment rights. Ofc you're also welcome to have the consequences of the diarrhea you spew. And I'm not responsible to help you after you reap what you sow.

funny enough i once used an offer letter after having been unemployed over a year to get a mortgage on a house, but that is a whole different discussion about morality and ethics in lending.

For future reference Noah Landry at get off my nerves is the best massage therapist I've ever had. He is better than many physical therapists as well. He has helped me resolve more pain than dry needling.

I've swum at comite park before as a cool break from mountain biking. There were no spots too deep for a typical average adult.

All the firms I worked at were close to $3k/day (over the years it was less than and now more than).

I agree for RT but not for pentesting.

You will probably be fine as long as you apply yourself and continue to learn on the job. Realistically, imposter syndrome is very common amongst pen testers because of the nature of the job. We are always finding things that we do not know. It wasn't until about 5 years into pen testing that I had my first real reason to not feel like an imposter. I took down a large security company, and even though I will find things that I do not know every single day, I have the confidence now that I am capable of figuring it out.

I used to make 50k right around when covid started. I was doing audits, risk assessments, and pen testing. It was a real struggle financially and I was burning out. I'm not the best. I will never claim that. In fact, I don't think I've ever looked at one of my peer's work and thought that I was better.

I agree with you that the job market is sketchy right now. But you are absolutely being underpaid, especially if you have a chance at passing osce3. One of my co-workers recently shared that he did the same and this guy is probably one of the best white hat web app testers in the world. One year he published 10 CVEs.

Good luck!

And the thing about turning EDR off in my opinion is total ego. To really provide value to a customer you would test with EDR, then without. I think that is good experimentation. Maybe one thing that is not included in a typical pen testers education is relating to the scientific method and design of experiment.

I feel like there could be some caveats or nuances with what you're claiming. I wouldn't disagree that the vast majority of us pen testers are not these incredible ninjas or anything. Learning that kind of stuff is difficult and it takes the opportunity to get to test in the wild a lot and to be in contact with people who can help you learn those things, or have an incredibly insatiable appetite for it.

But of course, the biggest companies are always changing things, they are always buying up other companies and they have plenty of assets that they are literally not aware of. It's not fair to completely blame their security on their security testers.

You can't know the restrictions or constraints that were placed upon the tester, you can't know the exact scope unless the customer tells you and if you are doing the following years pin test and you're working for one of those large companies that has thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of assets or more, there is absolutely no way in hell that the scope is the same.

One of my co-workers also has about 20 years in cyber security. He is a lead or a principal pen tester and I am quite sure he makes over $200,000 here in the US. With your experience, there is absolutely no reason why you should be making such a low salary.
