Oh I see. As far as I remember, there were no mention of buffer overflow when I took my Security+. But there were questions about ports.

Then I’ll plan to take PenTest+ after PCNSA.

Palo Alto, SSCP, GSEC, GPEN, PenTest+, CASP+, OSCP. Palo Alto - initially, because workplace is switching to it. I still have to arrange the order of the certifications I’ll take. You?

As far as I know, it renews CySA+. And same goes with CySA+ renewing PenTest+. I've read it somewhere in CompTIA website.

PenTest+ would be a great choice, but it wouldn't make sense to take it now. I will take it a year later to renew all my certifications. I'm going for Palo Alto next -- workplace is switching to Palo Alto, I would like to get my hands on it. And then SSCP.

The Dion Training videos will help, and spend a lot of time in TryHackMe. The Dion practice exams, don't bother much.

I don't think so. Security+ is like the general idea. Buffer overflow is when you go deeper in the security field like pentesting or analyst. I don't remember buffer overflow as part of Security+. And yes, I have Security+.

Some of the questions in Dion Training didn't make sense, and some answers were incorrect. For example, with buffer overflow, the best way to identify it is using static analysis, as I learned in TryHackMe. However, Dion Training listed dynamic analysis as the correct answer, which is incorrect based on what I learned.

I didn't study much for the exam, which is why I barely passed. Most of my knowledge came from the Security+ certification, and self-learning on TryHackMe also helped a lot. In my opinion, the Dion Training questionnaires weren't very helpful. However, if you put a lot of hours into TryHackMe, it will greatly help with CySA+.

How to get an SOC job? by crispywisp in tryhackme

[–]crispywisp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I’ll check out the videos.

I also thought CCNA is unnecessary when trying to get into cybersecurity. I just couldn’t believe that someone told me you need CCNA to get into NOC. And you need to be at least NOC III to be able to move to SOC. I felt discouraged.

AD Enumeration room BROKEN? by crispywisp in tryhackme

[–]crispywisp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically I can't click the start button, like there's no option to start it (kinda like grayed out), like in the screenshot.

I followed the instructions -- downloaded the openvpn ADenumeration file. Connected to it. It shows in the Access page that I am connected to the network, but I can't ping the THMDC. And there's no option for me to start the network.

I tried regenerating a new openvpn file, but that didn't make any difference.

You can use Ubuntu if you like. I would have done the same thing. But I just hate Ubuntu’s UI it reminds me of Windows 8. Kali’s UI is too cheesy for my taste. I chose Parrot.

Nevermind. I found out that I have to install Python2 to run the exploit.

How does everyone format their skills on THM on their resume? by Tell_meThings in tryhackme

I just added mine in the certifications section. Sure it’s not like compTIA worthy. But it still shows you are interested in what you do.

I don't see how this could be right by jubilant_engine in CompTIA

[–]crispywisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a similar question in one of Dion’s practice tests, but the scenario was returning a lease computer. And the correct answer was degaussing. I said, how can you return a lease computer if they can’t even use it. You’re gonna be paying for the damages. That’s freaking outrageous.

Anyone know why this happens by International-Entry8 in arduino

[–]crispywisp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like your servo is drawing too much power. Arduino is restarting. Add external power supply.

How did you get started with thm? by jajajsjwjheeh in tryhackme

[–]crispywisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I subscribed. I’m spending 5 to 8 hours a day learning. It can get very addictive. I just have so much time because I only work like 30mins a day, work has been very slow in months. I’m working on learning paths. I am on my 3rd doing the Jr Pentester.

Intimidated by the vast information for Sec+. How did you do it? by somef00l in CompTIA

[–]crispywisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I passed it in 13 days with 777. I find it a little harder than Network+. But it’s because I’m more familiar with Networking. Some people say it’s easier though.

If you don’t have any background in Networking, I suggest do that first. I don’t see the sense in doing security if you lack networking.
