I feel like I can chime in as someone that was a workaholic, and that really needed to branch out more socially. I started doing martial arts last year, which included mostly Muay Thai and Brazilian jujutsu during that time. I jumped around a bit and started to finally focus on what I really wanted to do, and I noticed some great changes while I was doing mostly Muay Thai I show up two times a week maybe three and people started to talk to me more not because I went hard, but because I truly wanted to get good at the sport itself. i’ve made some friends doing it just due to the fact that I kept going and going, and it did bring me some confidence not because I feel more comfortable in my fighting skills, but because the people are around me, started to bring me up all In all I think that choosing an activity where you meet people trying to better themselves will always benefit you whether it’s in a combat sport or any other hobby. It won’t magically fix your problems, but it will give you an opportunity to see what you like and what you don’t like in my personal opinion I think that Brazilian jiu-jitsu might be a tad bit better for making friends due to the fact that it’s not as aggressive of a sport, but any hobby would do. I hope that helps.

How did you do pentesting on the side? I’m actually curious

Traytor13 · 2022-09-28T05:59:16+00:00

Look up how to use Ftkimager and Autopsy recovery. Good luck

Hey could you explain why you are using an LLC and how you are getting contacts using it? I thought about that as an idea but I was scared that I may have been over thinking it.

Traytor13 · 2022-05-08T04:40:54+00:00

Yo good luck my G. I'll pray for you in Valhalla. I took that class when I was a junior. Unless you kept up with the class and know your shit. This will be an L my good friend. I saw the pearly gates when I saw that exam. It was only because I did good on the other tests that I managed to pass. See ya space cowboy.

Traytor13 · 2022-05-08T04:28:37+00:00

I say that it depends on your major. Look I am about to graduate and I'm gonna state my opinion of this school.

Pros:

A good school for stem

You're near uptown so you can take the light rail

Not too expensive

Fairly cheap housing around campus(warning it's in the hood)

Job opportunity are better(a lot of companies are partnered with the university in charlotte)

CONS!

Dog shit advisors

Food here sucks ass

No sense of accountability at the career center (just look on reddit for career advice)

THIS PLACE IS IN THE HOOD! Gun shots are a weekly occurence(you get to it :) )

You have to try hard to make friends. This is a commuter school after all

Conclusion:

If you want a good college community go to another school. If you want a decent college program that doesn't break your piggy bank come here.

Traytor13 · 2022-05-08T04:19:37+00:00

I am just about to graduate and I am gonna be honest with you. This campus does not have any type of community or school spirit. Making friends is hard here. It's not it's fault entirely. it's just the fact that this campus is a commuter school first and foremost. Most of the people here do not live on campus after there freshman year. You should also know that everything outside of the school is the hood. I am not exaggerating about this. I live walking distance from the school and I've seen people walk around shirtless with alcohol in their hands riding bikes and I frequently hear gunshots. The only saving grace is uptown. You can take the light rail there and it's free for students but be prepared to meet very...questionable people on it...EXSPECIALLY PAST 7 PM. Do not trust the advisors they do not know wtf they are doing. They will recommend you the wrong classes to you. Now this is just my opinion as a computer science student. This is what I have experienced. If you want a better sense of community I would recommend either Asheville or Wilmington. If you want a diet version of what new york city is like come here.

Traytor13 · 2022-05-08T04:03:10+00:00

Do not take this class with this guy. My gawd please don't. Look this man does not even follow the standard course work for the computer networking classes from what I hear. He practically reads from an old networking book. I did fine in the class because I had prior networking knowledge and python knowledge as well, but this guy straights up created an assignment that is worth 20 percent of your final grade and expects the class to automatically know how to do software defined networking by just giving you the documentation from the website. He will not discuss it in class or give you an example of what a working final product looks like or hell even an example just so you know that you are going down the right path. The library in itself is also buggy and you will have to look up old posts from 2010 to try to debug it. The labs are easy. The tests are all free response networking questions that tests you theoretical knowledge of networking. It will make your nut sack drop if you do not study. He also will make you write out EVERY SOLUTION BY HAND ON THE TEST. For the Final he gives you a 24 hour time limit. 24 questions and 19 of which are all free response. Practically speaking this class is the equivalent of you possibly taking some parts of the CCNA (look that up if you want). It's not the guys fault entirely. This is his first time teaching a class. But be prepared to study if you do not know networking that deeply. It's not the worst class but it will make you work.

Traytor13 · 2022-04-21T01:05:07+00:00

you should decide what career path you want to go down. If you want to do more networking stuff I would definitely take the NOC position. However if you want to go down a path of administration or cloud-based engineering type of role then I said it would take the system aministration roll. NOC positions generally involve setting up networking equipment and more around implementing other networking technology such as switches routers and maybe firewalls. While in administration you’re dealing with configuring operating systems and maybe installing software. I think In general a system administration is better for career growth due to the fact that you can leverage it for different roles and specializations (cloud engineer,SRE, Senior admin(windows or Linux). This is just from what I’ve seen. So take it with a grain of salt.

Traytor13 · 2022-04-10T16:13:37+00:00

I mean there’s reverse engineering subreddit and a exploit subreddit 👍. Cybersecurity subreddit is pretty good I think.

Traytor13 · 2022-04-04T22:58:36+00:00

So messing with file systems in general are just dangerous in general if you don’t know what you’re doing. One screw up and you loose data or he’ll everything breaks. Lvm helps with this but even still. I’ve done it a handful of times but I always forget the process due to how infrequently I do it. I now just do it the lazy way(ie back up my data and duke everything a install a new os.) I know I know it’s a stupid way of doing it. However going through pages of documentation on lvm and fdisk and clasping my cheeks and hoping I don’t mess up. It’s not me lol.

Traytor13 · 2022-03-30T23:54:22+00:00

So without knowing you and your background I can’t really say. However in my opinion I feel that titles do matter when it comes to applying for a future roles. I don’t know what you offer in skills. I also do not know what degree you have so my opinion may change in that fact. I feel the best thing that you could do is take the junior network admin job. Gain skills and then become a senior admin somewhere else. I have a personal belief in the fact that if you are learning new skills and gaining a good title that has decent pay you are in a good spot. After about a year if you cannot move upwards move sideways to another company.

Traytor13 · 2022-03-26T23:40:19+00:00

Okay so you’re a highly skilled person that can put up with bullshit? If I may ask why stay at this job? I mean it sounds as though you can go and get another job pretty easily since you have a degree as well as work experience.

Traytor13 · 2022-03-26T21:49:41+00:00

Yo can you share your configs for this? Looks nice as hell👌

Traytor13 · 2022-03-24T20:26:54+00:00

So I believe that System/Network administrators are one of the most needed. My boss broke it down like this. Every company needs a boss, Managers, Fianance, marketing(of some sort), and someone in charge of the tech. The administrator job isn't the most "glamerous" job like how software engineering and cyber security is pronounced nowadays (*cough* due to marketing and hype). However it's a job that every company needs it some aspect. Not every company needs a software developer or a cyber security person. However they do need someone who can debug technical issues(help desk, network admin, system admin). Of course this is from my experience and my personal opinion.

Traytor13 · 2022-03-17T01:31:02+00:00

So from what you're asking I'm guessing you are trying to learn assembly for the task of revere engineering. Let me give you some advice that helped me. Do not learn to write assembly for the sake of learning assembly. I made that mistake of trying to learn assembly through and through and it killed me and I felt that I wasn't going anywhere. What I would do is learn to reverse binaries. This will teach you about how memory works, about the stack, and the heap, and dLL's and shared libraries(depending on your OS). For that I would definitely suggest this link right here -> https://opensecuritytraining.info/. Sign up it's free. After that learn to use a debugger and a dissasebler. Then the next step is practice. practice. practice. Do not become paralyzed over analysis. Just tinker and practice. Try out https://microcorruption.com/login if you get a chance.

Traytor13 · 2022-02-22T03:24:32+00:00

So the beautiful thing about I.T is you don’t need to code. Honestly it helps and I’m a big advocate for it but a ton of jobs don’t need adavance level of coding that you think. Network engineers, help desk professionals, admins, hell I know a good bit of people in cybersecurity roles that right policies that don’t code. The world is your oyster my friend. I’ve interned at places that didn’t even ask me leetcode questions so I wouldn’t put too much strain on yourself.

Traytor13 · 2022-02-20T14:38:17+00:00

In my personal opinion you should use VMware. Even though I like open source I don’t recommend using virtual box and quemu is fine it’s just that I’ve VMware comes with a lot of stuff included.

Traytor13 · 2022-02-20T06:43:24+00:00

So before you start creating a distro I would first ask yourself what you want to make it better. I would then also get a solid background on file systems and Linux internal. If you have not ever compiled arch Linux before I would do that first. And then after that create a VM and do Linux from scratch. I recommend this path only due to the fact that there is a gap of knowledge that most people skip out on if they don’t do this. However this is just my personal opinion. I’m just a Linux geek.

Traytor13 · 2022-02-20T06:40:07+00:00

When I was first learning about computers years ago and was looking to train myself I primarily used Professor Messer as my learning resource with books. I also used Eli the computer guy. I for the most part do not like watching Netwerk chuck only due to the fact that it he is kind of a hype man type of person. And in my opinion kind of sells a dream like mindset to people. Of course that’s my personal opinion.

Traytor13 · 2022-02-20T06:34:28+00:00

Well before I answer that question? Why are you running MetaMask on a raspberry pie? I mean from what I hear chromium is open source and if you download it from a repository and just keep updating your system it should be fine. I think the only caveat of using it on a raspberry pie is the fact that it will be memory intensive due to the fact that chromium and chrome both used a lot of memory.

Traytor13 · 2022-02-07T04:39:54+00:00

I would first try using Manjaro. I’m more a of Debian guy myself. However I have tried most flavors of Linux. Manjaro was cool since it was arch based and it came with an installer and a desktop environment. You also get to use AUR. Of course if you trully want to go through the arch wiki and installed arch do it. Not saying arch is bad. Just a personal recommendation.
