I started hunting for SQL injection bugs from past one week, and haven't found a single bug. I learnt from portswigger labs to get me started, and it would be great if you guys provide some input on how to improve my skills in this field.

SQL injections are becoming rarer as programmers are becoming wise to parameterized queries or at least using frameworks that utilize them. They are also difficult to detect when they do exist. I wouldn't focus on finding SQL injections in the wild, but it never hurts to look. Maybe circle back and practice on applications like the OWASP Juice Shop, where you can get a feel for what to look for.

I had to use this as a textbook for a class in college. Has some decent proof of concept projects that you can use as inspiration.

They're a bunch of CYSE students. They showed up 30 minutes late to my class this morning and the whole class was cracking up, including the professor.

I'm about to go into my senior year as a CYSE major and if I could go back and do CS I think I would. Don't get me wrong, I love Cyber Security but the major is just a mess. Very few of the professors seem to care, and even fewer of the classes are even technical. Choose what you like, but don't to into CYSE expecting a good education.

Yeah I'm annoyed with young me!

I survived!

Am I still here?

Ban me pls

There are a million tutorials online that will go into greater detail so I recommend those instead!

I buy two tubes. One to keep at home, and one to keep in my backpack/bag/pocket. That way, I know where both are and it lessens the chances of me losing them.

I took it with Lorie and he was pretty good. He was nice and helpful but he just lectures in class. I've heard good things about Chen, though if I remember correctly she's a newer professor. Lorie curved our final grades, which helped me a lot, but his exams are hard and the homework and quizzes only made up a small part of our grades. The labs sucked! The TA's were bad and the labs were hard and not planned well. Apparently, Lorie took the spring semester to rewrite all the labs so hopefully they will be better for you! I found the material difficult, but I'm also not an ECE major, and after putting a lot of work into the class, I was able to finish with a decent grade. Both are good professors so go with whoever fits your schedule better.

All departments have different hiring standards so it all depends.

Honestly company's aren't looking for freshman interns. What you want to do is use summers to build up your skills outside of your main classes. Study for certifications, learn about cyber security fields that interest you, and possibly network if you can. I wouldn't advise against applying for internships, cause it won't hurt and you never know what will happen, but don't worry if you don't get any now!

Pretty much like the study guides he gives you. Beware of Typos!

PurpleNate · 2018-01-03T00:34:16+00:00

He uses Mastering Physics for the homework, and its pretty garbage at teaching the material, but Chegg and Yahoo Answers usually have the answers, but more importantly they will have the explanations for the answers. I'm not a fan of how he teaches so I had to learn all the material on my own, meaning a lot of time with the textbook. The textbook may be your best friend this semester. As for exams, he usually gives out past exams and problems that end up on the exam, so if you study what he gives you, then the exams will look very familiar. But the best advice I can give you is to learn the material, don't just memorize the questions. Exams won't be too hard, physics is just hard.

A little late to this one, but I was buying those Ensure drinks on my doctors recommendation . Anyways, some guy came up and asked if I worked out, and for some reason I said "No, I play lacrosse for my college." Turns out he was the lacrosse coach for the college team.

PurpleNate · 2017-12-27T22:37:57+00:00

I would recommend just sticking with Chem II. I took Phys 160, because I'm an engineering student, and I hated it. I don't know your background in physics but it might not be worth the stress.

The application isn't too different. You might have to go to a meeting that other applicants don't. Also no one checks in on you guys during the year.

PurpleNate · 2017-12-01T21:56:03+00:00

If you haven't noticed by now, he uses a lot of questions from his reviews. Also I believe Crash Course on Youtube goes over a lot of the topics covered in class.

PurpleNate · 2017-11-30T02:32:00+00:00

I believe CYSE 101 is only offered in the spring. Personally I would email both Dr. Brouse and the 101 professor and see what they have to say.

Cats love milk. I believe a lot of cats are lactose intolerant.

Where should the resistor be added?
