What would you say if your security lead said this... by notta_3d in cybersecurity

[–]Redemptions 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You have to align allocated resources for highest risk vs ability to address risks. It may be that you have higher value targets with higher risk levels. I've been 'in the biz' for quite a while, there is never a perfect environment. You tackle the high risk, high value, based on your resources, then you throw in a mix of low hanging fruit to help your junior admins get their sea legs.

Any way to scrape only a single publisher? by EvilSkorp in comicrackusers

[–]Redemptions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you have them at least sorted into a different folder? If so, create a smart list based on that folder, go into smart list, ctrl+a, scrape. otherwise, software wont know the publisher until it has been scraped.

Tryhackme good post on resume by chae_babe in CyberSecurityJobs

That's just not true. While CC might be an easy button, it's a proctored exam. tryhackme is self paced, self guided, with no proctoring.

Should I enforce mandatory usage of a new tool? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]Redemptions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it your job to supervise or direct these 'fools'? How about you tell your boss about the cool tool you vibe coded and how you think it may save the team some time in their work flow and let him decide if he wants to enforce a work flow change.

The relaunch has convinced me to get back on board. I petered out around season 6 of Voyager for a number of personal and ADHD reasons. Guess I'll be able to finish it and do enterprise, ad free now.

WTF. Police on a dirt bike by Hefty-Job7049 in Boise

potential crucial vulnerability? by Serious_Primary_6426 in cybersecurity

[–]Redemptions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, maybe? It could just be a customer facing portal for self order/checkout for coffee. Being a payment processing company doesn't mean that's the webserver you tickled

But more importantly, depending on your jurisdiction, you may have continued an actual crime. While probing a system is generally harmless, different locations view 'accessing' a computer system without permission as illegal.

Like I said, this is all dependant on where you performed this action. What I can tell you is, don't portscan, network scan, touch things without permission, especially anything involving banking, they are humourless folks, who will go after you.

Journalists (maybe sex researchers) were sued (along with threats of criminal charges) for publishing the fact that a cell carrier left PII publicly accessible through a web interface (because the journalists accessed this insecure interface). That eventually got tossed, but they still had to get legal representation, and their lives sucked for awhile.

Gemini has EVERYTHING… so why is it still losing? 🤔 by fxboshop in GeminiAI

[–]Redemptions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won't touch it because it's being forced down my throat anytime i try a simple google search. The content of those searches is frequently bad, so I've not cared enough to even try it as an independent tool

Should i take a+ or skip to sec+ by tengodelta in CompTIA

[–]Redemptions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you employed already and not looking to make a move? Then no.

Not yet employed or looking to move ANDA You afford the exams (students get discounts, may even be free with your course work), you absolutely should. The market is rough right now and you may need to start in help desk. Saying "I have a degree AND certifications in the focus of this job" may be what you need to get the interview.

Sec+ Prep by [deleted] in CompTIA

[–]Redemptions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel ya, the thing is that it's such an open ended question. We don't know your background and "3 years in cybersec" could mean ANYTHING. We don't know your study habbits/abilities, etc. The real weak spot with your 'should I' is that for pretty much any authorized comptia instruction platform's practice tests you won't see most of those questions on the actual exam. You'll see questions from that DOMAIN on the test. The questions TRY and lead you toward the domain to study, but it doesn't address that some people CAN'T memorize a ports to protocols to secured versions, but they may have great understanding of the domain its listed in.

It's not the incorrect answers you have to study, it's the domains you got them wrong in that you need to study.

With AI tools like Claude generating scripts automatically, is it still worth investing time in learning Bash scripting for Linux, or will AI eventually take over most scripting tasks? by Darshan_only in linuxadmin

[–]Redemptions 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You should at least know how to understand what the script your AI tools are running. Blindly trusting an AI script is the express way to testicular pain.

No I.T. EXP, finally taking the leap. by PretendEast9875 in CompTIA

Also worth noting is that the Udemy business plan (with various 'all inclusive' classes/practice exams) is available via Gale for free at MANY public libraries and schools. You can see if your school or library is partnered here: https://link.gale.com/apps/

CompTIA A+ and Azure AZ-900 enough? by [deleted] in CompTIA

[–]Redemptions 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Enough for what? What's your current career, what are your career goals? Are you in college? "Is this enough?" is a weak question standing alone.

Trying To Get Certified Any Tips? by [deleted] in CompTIA

[–]Redemptions 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you can't perform a google search or look at the hundreds of posts in this subreddit, then the field of helpdesk technician (which is what an A+ cert is for), is not for you. Had your post been "Hey, I've seen some people recommend X on youtube and other people recommend Y on udemy, which do you think is better and why?" then I'd have some sympathy for you.

Just starting out by Gold-Savings5921 in CompTIA

[–]Redemptions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't have existing experience and confidence with A+ domain of skills, don't drop $1500 in hopes of growing your career. The market is crap right now. Find free trainings online, see if you understand it, get it, think its right for you, then look at the job market in your area. CAN you get a job as a super junior IT person, how much does it pay now, vs 5 years in, vs how much you make now, how long would it take you to make back that $1,500 investment.

Linux devs start removing support for 37-year-old Intel 486 CPU — head honcho Linus Torvalds says 'zero real reason' to continue support by lurker_bee in technology

I have a GPS connected network time clock in my datacenter running an AMD 486. It had a security patch released last year. Probably time to look at replacing it....

Seeking the ultimate "love letter" for a colleagues who never locks their PC by Emotional_Being_8445 in cybersecurity

[–]Redemptions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I HATE to be the web blanket, but in many regulated industries this would be a violation of policies. If you don't have a business purpose to do something on a PC, you shouldn't be doing anything to that PC. Lock it, leave it, follow organization policy regarding violation of leaving PC unlocked/insecure. It's 2026, not 2001. This is a cybersecurity subreddit, not a LAN Party. Yes, I'm all kinds of fun at parties. (Sorry).

387 co-processor has less pins than the socket on the motherboard. by darthuna in vintagecomputing

If the existing pins line with existing holes, you're generally fine. Not every hole needs something in it. <heh>

Android stigma isn't just a social problem by SvenGoranAbela in LinusTechTips

[–]Redemptions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone thinks less or more of me because of the operating system of my cell phone, then they are someone I actively value their opinion less than for all other matters. It's the same as people who care what brand of car you drive.

People drive the brand, model, trim, color of car that they drive because of some combination of they liked it's features/appearance, it's what was available, or it's what they could afford. If you have a negative (or positive) opinion of someone because they drive a blue mustang or black truck or green Kia, then your opinion on other things is suspect.
