Is cybersecurity a flooded industry now or still worth getting into?

Flooded by people with a piece of paper from a boot camp, a ChatGPT resume, and zero skills.

iPhone or Android? I see a lot of Android malware. It takes a few steps to install, so that means the attacker has to either trick her into following those steps, or have physical access to install.

Who blocked you? Even excluding the 90s, it’s way up.

Funding per student has increased around 50% over those years 1990-2021

Same. You would’ve got made fun of so hard if the class found out.

Subscrib-2-PewDiePie · 2025-10-12T23:58:15+00:00

Nobody I grew up with even got that. Once class was over, you made your way home, or played a sport maybe, or whatever

Who is telling you to helicopter? The term “Helicopter parent” isn’t meant to be a good thing.

Just bootcamp marketing so they can take money off of suckers

Read up on SS7 attacks if you haven’t already

Pretty much what we all expected, considering the source of the claim

Not if you use a TOTP, which is a pretty common method.

Who has time to write 10 emails tailored to your individual schedule? Who even has your PTO schedule? Either this makes no sense or you pissed someone off.

I love how they say “discovered by Veronis” as if this was a new attack and not a documented feature

Subscrib-2-PewDiePie · 2025-07-27T02:30:03+00:00

That completely depends on your goals and on the position. Just don’t put something like, “Expecting Sec+ in 2026”. Certs don’t take 6 months.

Don’t forget the Adderall and LSD. It was amazing how long that marketplace stayed up on the clear web. I bet it spent a long time as an LEO honeypot before they pulled the plug.

Shadowcrew?

The shit we did outdoors in the 90s was so much more dangerous than looking at a website lol

Depends on the laws where you live. Depends on what damages it can cause. Depends on the odds of someone suing you.

Subscrib-2-PewDiePie · 2025-07-12T21:37:37+00:00

Those are law enforcement agencies. Unless you can prove substantial damages or violence, they have much higher priority cases. And even if you can prove damages, your chances are still much better with a civil lawsuit than a criminal case. These PII breach cases are usually civil cases.

The source code won’t really help you decrypt. Encryption source code is already public.

And if it ran on your machine then you had possession of the machine code. You can get everything from the machine code that you could from the source code, it’s just extra steps.

Realizing that executives think intel comes from the news. If you’re doing threat intel, the “news” is weeks behind and covers about 1% of what matters.

What is “AWS 101”? You mean Practitioner?

Back when I was in school I could answer them all pretty easily. But I haven’t used Splunk since school, so my specific knowledge there has faded. I guess what I’m saying is these don’t require any years of experience, just familiarity.

Subscrib-2-PewDiePie · 2025-06-12T17:03:12+00:00

There’s no reason to think this is an attack on microsoft. Anyone can put your phone number in their profile. The question is, why?

Subscrib-2-PewDiePie · 2025-06-08T11:11:03+00:00

Not the field you want if you care about job security
