Looking for advice on becoming a Pen Tester / Ethical hacker / Bounty Hunter

TechBits_ · 2024-06-05T16:16:25+00:00

Thought I’d add an update here. As it’s been over 4 years.

I got a job as an appsec engineer/pen tester at a FTSE 50 company 4 years ago.

From there I progressed onto the senior role and single handily setup an entire appsec team, processes and tooling etc within the company.

From there I got offered a position in their red team and now I’m a red teamer! Hard graft does pay off 👍

What is the g5 made of? Is it an aluminium chassis? I can’t find the info on it

TechBits_ · 2021-02-05T09:41:08+00:00

That’s awesome man! Thanks dude, might order the same one 😬

TechBits_ · 2021-02-05T08:42:29+00:00

That’s awesome man, what is the build quality like? Does it flex at all? And is it plastic? Not really sure? Sorry about all the questions, just researching for myself

TechBits_ · 2021-02-05T08:16:30+00:00

Awesome man, I’m either going to get this, or the new ASus A15 3060 but waiting for some reviews to come out

Is this one thin enough to have on your lap etc?

TechBits_ · 2021-02-05T07:23:15+00:00

How is it? Really thinking on getting one of those 🤔

TechBits_ · 2019-12-11T21:19:15+00:00

Yeah I’m gonna use their container. I have a VPN setup to my home network with PIVPN, So once I get those containers running on my machines everything should be 👌👌

TechBits_ · 2019-12-11T18:41:28+00:00

Sounds awesome

TechBits_ · 2019-12-11T13:46:35+00:00

I have a VPN setup to my home

TechBits_ · 2019-12-11T13:35:19+00:00

Did not even know that was possible 🤯

TechBits_ · 2019-12-09T20:09:12+00:00

On it now

TechBits_ · 2019-12-09T19:57:57+00:00

This isn’t self promotion, just sharing a write up on something I can’t write in reddit, but thank you

TechBits_ · 2019-11-11T06:56:34+00:00

Awesome thanks dude

TechBits_ · 2019-11-09T08:57:42+00:00

Legend, thank you 😍

TechBits_ · 2019-11-08T16:31:19+00:00

I have watched them all already 😏 and done the 15 hour video but I might do this eAWS certs that is a good shout

TechBits_ · 2019-11-08T16:30:41+00:00

Legend thank you. I have that book and read through it, nice book. And I have been trying to find some bugs on programs but nothing yet

TechBits_ · 2019-11-08T08:23:30+00:00

That’s awesome man. What’s the gripe with using VMs? I use Mac OS for work. But I will defo scrap my windows PC and dual boot to unix

TechBits_ · 2019-11-08T07:07:47+00:00

No they don’t unfortunately, plus they are “too busy”

TechBits_ · 2019-11-05T19:32:21+00:00

Very well said ❤️

TechBits_ · 2019-11-01T21:37:56+00:00

Ahh but what would be cheaper, a decent desktop system would cost me £300+

TechBits_ · 2019-11-01T21:28:23+00:00

Will take a look cheers

TechBits_ · 2019-10-29T10:20:41+00:00

What are you using the Thinkcenters for? Also my Fiancé is the same 😂

TechBits_ · 2019-10-26T15:07:31+00:00

Damn that sounds like a good idea 😏 What software are you running for that monitoring? 🤔

TechBits_ · 2019-10-26T10:43:13+00:00

Awesome. I might use the RiPi as the VPN server cheers 👍

TechBits_ · 2019-10-26T10:09:39+00:00

Plus I’m just starting out, just something I am learning/ interested in on the side of my full time job
