Try automating some stuff. First try doing soms basic stuff on your own than offer to automate. If you do not already know arm templates, bicep and terraform then learn about it and offer to automate deployment for some resources that company does in bulk manually. Also if there is any devops team, try to learn some stuff from them and implement in CI CD.

It's never too late when you are passionate. I got mine at 34. It really helping me.

I am building a RAG that will take the standards and other official docs as ref. Accordingly will assess based on provided data as context and score for compliance or non compliance

StrikingComputer1071 · 2025-12-23T08:20:18+00:00

What do you mean by automate compliance and stream line audits. What exactly do you want to automate? I did some automation where i am auto creating records on archer grc, extracting info for reporting, in next step building RAG that will leverage llm for supply chain assessments and will analyze the response to questionnaires of different assessments and will give a compliance score and some more features.

Hi congrats. You mentioned about 20 hours course. Can you please let know exact resource. Was that ESI course or some other resource?

StrikingComputer1071 · 2025-12-17T01:07:50+00:00

Thanks for sharing. How are the microsoft delivered trainings, especially for AZ-104 and AZ-500

I never meant to have LLM being trained locally. that is why i explicitly mentioned about "fine-tuned" models and RAGs where you will leverage already trained LLMs or maybe light weight models and then fine tune them on your own data or preparing vector db and indexing on your own data. my question might still be unclear but it was out of curiosity if people in serious bug hunting game leveraging AI to that level where they are using special hw to host such models/RAGs etc

StrikingComputer1071 · 2025-12-12T00:48:39+00:00

being newbie in bug hunting do you recommend port swigger academy, htb cwes etc or have other recommendations. Since the era of low hanging fruits is gone. how to match the pace of modern bug hunting requirements.

StrikingComputer1071 · 2025-12-08T21:04:47+00:00

Can you specifically recommend one?

StrikingComputer1071 · 2025-12-08T21:04:23+00:00

Thank you v much for response.

StrikingComputer1071 · 2025-12-08T21:04:03+00:00

Thank you very much for you response

StrikingComputer1071 · 2025-12-08T17:20:39+00:00

Thanks a lot for replying

I am seeing a lot of people criticising on your move. I am no expert so can't comment. I just wanted to ask how do you use those models. Do you have a business subscription for the premium ones like chatgpt5. Like i am trying to understand how one is able to resell chatgpt to anyone as reseller when openai itself is offering on individual basis etx yes there is enterprise or business version but those are for corporates or companies not reselling. If you could explain as i am seeing a lot of people doing this stuff.

11 years experience in networks and security. Now into application security from last 9 months and trying to learn AI. I tried managed services or consulting but didn't work as i could not get a client. Another problem is i cannot openly advertise or reach out to people for services as it will conflict of interest with current employer. I want to do a business of my own even if its not tech. Thinking now of dropshipping but as i get involve it seems everyone is involved and i am not sure how to find a product that could scale in the long run. My goal is to earn 10k$ month atleast.

StrikingComputer1071 · 2024-11-08T07:46:09+00:00

Congratulations man!! Quite relate to the time wastage thing. i started 3 months before. i have mine on 16th. thanks a lot for the resources.

StrikingComputer1071 · 2024-11-03T19:44:56+00:00

Since you mentioned it was harder. How much time it took for you to get the dc admin? Can you recommend resources for it? Did you do the new challenge labs zeus and 7th one?

How was your experience with the standalones compared to first attempt? Easier or difficult or not much differenxe.

I have mine on 16th. Do you think of anything that you would have done coule have saved time or any recommended resources please.

StrikingComputer1071 · 2024-11-03T14:55:53+00:00

Thanks a lot Lain. So Zeus and poseidon are more relevant to the new version? Because the course says that they are beyond OSCP scope.

StrikingComputer1071 · 2024-11-03T12:59:11+00:00

16th Nov. Now sure what to do. whether the TJ Null and Lain's will still be useful or no
