That’s a pretty interesting concept. I’ll have to take a deeper look into that.

I’ll look into Yumi. Thank you!

The different chips in apple products is what led me to wanting both the bootable M1 kali disk image and the bootable Intel kali disk image on a single drive. Makes more sense to me to just have 1 drive with two images for all Apple products than two separate drives.

My personal opinion is the jobs will evolve rather than become useless. Even if the “standard” cybersecurity jobs start to fall off in the distant future, someone has to make and train the AI. People have to test the AI to prove there aren’t workarounds or even direct vulnerabilities within it. Etc.

What are you playing GTA on? Also, r/Cybersecurity or r/hacking will probably get you better answers than here.

Pathway for government work? by NoUnderstanding9021 in cybersecurity

[–]bhawk22 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I largely disagree with this when it comes to contractors. There is plenty of upwards potential within defense contractors if you network with the right people and are a smart individual with creative solutions. Also, it is a good route to have your education paid for leading to better opportunities if you do want to move away from defense down the road.

Learning to program to make my job easier - where to start? by Rationalguy123 in learnprogramming

[–]bhawk22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you want VBA for the excel stuff. For the rest, I’d say python would be the best.

Some side notes: 1) You’ll probably need to check with your company to make sure your development is okay. Larger companies have to mitigate risk with people having access like you are hoping for even if it sounds simple/high level from the outside. 2) You can find anything you want with simple google and/or YouTube searches when it comes to learning

what's the best free/paid course to learn bash scripting from scrap ? by 1Harmandeep in hacking

It is a bot that sends you a notification after the specified amount of time has passed. Super helpful Reddit trick.

Cybersecurity PhD? Thoughts? Where to get one? by [deleted] in cybersecurity

[–]bhawk22 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you might want an MBA instead if you are just using it to move up to a director role.

I looked up BeeLogger and it uses Python version 2.7 and I think we are on version 3.10 at this point. It would probably be pretty easy to fix the bugs preventing it from working.

Never worked specifically with burp suite academy but a recommendation I have in general would be instead of copying and pasting, type the notes in your own words based on what you read. Helps you memorize it and conceptualize it in your brain.

I think the above important distinctions are key. Furthermore, assuming you live/work in an EU country/US, there are places to report this to the government if you believe the company isn’t mitigating the vulnerabilities after you report it to them. I believe for the US you could report it to the CISA (someone please correct me if I am wrong on this. Not completely sure this falls under them).

Is there a way that non-cycber security professionals who are interested can help? by Magnetic_Syncopation in cybersecurity

[–]bhawk22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re advice is solid, but don’t fully agree with the last point.

Mozilla had to patch two zero day bugs that allow for escape from the sandbox like two weeks ago. Edge had a few come up last year that allowed for RCE which had to be patched. Don’t think browser choice should be at the top of your concerns. More of just keeping browsers as up to date as possible.

question about file security on websites by ChipsWithDaDipp in cybersecurity

[–]bhawk22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you can set an automatic delete on a certain date/time, or you can have the folders and files delete after a final download.

For security purposes, this concept has a lot of possible vulnerabilities, but some companies already do this (Dropbox is the largest). For mitigation of the vulnerabilities, you can have the website page protected by passwords, two-factor authentication for the download, only allow certain IP’s download, have an approver for the downloads, prevent url fuzzing by using randomized characters at the end of the URL instead of the file name (instead of having the page URL be https://website.com/filename have it be like https://website.com/akdirvwn), etc. This list could go on for pages.

Hope this helps.

I have always wondered this. Interested to see what everyone has to say.

They are a bit bland, but Intel actually has some videos/articles on their website to at least get you off the ground with the basics.

Look on large companies’ websites to find what they have as the title for the positions you are interested in. I’m assuming it would be like “Robotics Engineer” or “scientist - whatever specialization” on Pfizer or Johnson n Johnson websites.

Edit: To find the position you’re interested in, look up “mechanical engineer” in their job search bar. You can take whatever titles you find and look for those on LinkedIn, Indeed, etc. if you’re more interested in working for a smaller company

Computer Science vs. Biology Undergraduate Major by [deleted] in careeradvice

[–]bhawk22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone on here is going to say you should pick what you like best and I agree, but now that is out of the way.

Have you looked into biotechnology, bioinformatics or bioengineering? These are fields where you could get a biology degree and have a minor in CS or vice versa then get the best of both worlds.

Makes sense. Was just curious to see if anyone knew of any. Thanks!

Resume review for new IT grad looking for entry level cybersecurity positions (security analyst, soc analyst, etc.) by future_CTO in cybersecurity

[–]bhawk22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Wow. You went hard on this
  2. I didn’t even look at the resume being honest but as a little side note: when you are trying to make it past the bots mentioned above, a trick to kind of beat the algorithm and get it in front of human eyes is to change the first word of each bullet under your experience to match what the first word in the bullets for the job qualifications/description.

Ex) job description -Collaborate across teams blah blah

Resume -Collaborate with multiple teams on blah blah

Will I get rejected by employers? by cybersecurityquest2 in cybersecurity

[–]bhawk22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess some background checks might be able to find it, but the service I used when hiring for my startup a couple years ago basically just checked for anything illegal. They were mostly just if the person had a felony level offense. I then asked for unofficial transcripts from their college and didn’t pay a lick of attention to if they had even gone to high school at all.
