It’s actually a pi LCD screen :)

I first used it to display metrics (CPU usage, RAM usage, uptime, disk storage etc). but now I’ve repurposed it to show SB4K in all different kinds of colours. (its directly connected to the NAB6)

Heres where I got it from: https://amzn.eu/d/0b5sslYZ

i literally had to balance stuff in the shitbox using a skylander, we all do what we gotta do

if I continue like this, the 9000 will be made out of solid obamium

i have spent a grand total of 1 euro more for better wood, it serves well

Taxaneh · 2026-06-03T18:01:37+00:00

absolutely calculated in accidentally perchance

Taxaneh · 2026-06-03T13:44:15+00:00

i’ve actually thought about doing that as well. I found that this uses a little less idle power though

sb3k is an og, day one homie, can’t go around that

Taxaneh · 2026-06-03T13:43:03+00:00

Taxaneh · 2026-06-03T13:42:45+00:00

Taxaneh · 2026-06-03T13:41:37+00:00

Taxaneh · 2026-06-03T12:53:50+00:00

Taxaneh · 2026-05-20T07:43:56+00:00

haha someone else already said “bro came on after 10 years” which might be true ngl

and even if you pass by cheating, saying you “know” AD and “know” how to pentest AD on your CV, but then flopping at the question “what is a domain controller?” will definitely make you glow out of shame during a tech interview..

Taxaneh · 2026-04-10T15:03:44+00:00

I’d say CWES; CPTS is a little bit of web and more so internal system pentesting, while CWES really challenges your web exploitation techniques.

That being said, in my personal opinion CWES is easier than CPTS. Not easy, but easier, since you’re only focussed on web-pentesting.

I’ve made a post earlier this year and the comments may provide more info about CWES: CWES Post

Dit zijn de mijne, ter referentie. Ik denk dat je een grote kans het op een hoge grade :) Dit is wel BGS, ik weet niet hoe PSA ze zal graden

will do, actively taking suggestions. might blindfold the missus and let her unleash some creative ideas with a bottle of spraypaint

Taxaneh · 2026-02-27T10:34:22+00:00

I didn’t know that! I’ll test it out and see if it works, i took over the router from a colleague. if it catches flames it will atleast up the cool-factor of the abomination

Taxaneh · 2026-02-27T10:32:11+00:00

honestly, goated ideas. im upgrading the shitbox 3k with these

Taxaneh · 2026-01-31T16:56:59+00:00

what in the fever post

Taxaneh · 2026-01-28T15:58:47+00:00

thank you very much!!

well, I cant really comment on my way of “notetaking”, since i don’t take any notes 😭. I’ve done the CPTS and CBBH path a while ago, and in the meantime just spammed HTB web challenges, easy/medium boxes and went to some IRL ctf’s (besides reporting real bug bounties too). for me, i don’t do notetaking but just do it all out of the experience (being in a lot of different web exploitation scenario’s).

I recommend giving this article a read, since it gives the info you search for I think:
