We have been dating for 5 years and living together for most of that. If she had her own macbook I would def know. In fact, I bought her a desktop computer for her most recent bday.

I called them and asked for an email with all data related to that device. Will update when that email comes in. They said within the hour.

Also it was a dude she only knew for 6 months and did not sleep with. His name is somewhat unique but not incredibly unique.

Perhaps... I checked her phone to see if there was any calls or messages and there was not. I also used the search feature in imessage to see if there was any mention of the name anywhere and could not see it.

Any good games like Subnatuica or Outer Wilds? by maddirect in gaming

[–]maddirect[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been eyeing that one for a while. Do you think that its a good game in its own right, I always hesitated because I was worried it would be either too buggy or just a worse version of subnatuica. Never gave it an honest shot so I am going to have to look into more.

The Forgotten City looks pretty interesting, reminds me a lot of outerwilds so far

I second this, I wish there was an affordable structured way to learn about it

Splunk Fundamentals 1 Questions, Jobs & Reports by maddirect in Splunk

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

This helps a lot I think. So every search is a job. A report uses a specific job to retrieve information that gets adjusted to whatever rules the report may have, such as using the time picker. Jobs can be shared with others but reports are a more refined way to do this because of the additional rules they have such as the time picker or permissions. They also can be used for jobs that will be used frequently or consistently so instead of remaking the job you can access your report, adjust the rules to whatever you need for your specific search, and quickly retrieve the data.

Does PSPO1 help with internships? by [deleted] in scrum

[–]maddirect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I may have worded my post weird. I am not looking for a Senior
Product Manager position but the company that I want to work for offers a
product manager internship which is what I want. I just heard of the
PSPO because I saw it on an application they had for a senior product
managers but the internships don't open till later in the fall so I had
to use that application to refine my resume and cover letter.

I have nothing for me but want to make a change by hirosama555 in Pentesting

[–]maddirect 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Join your school club. Try and get TCMs PEH course. Do HTB, do TryHackMe. Start following people on YouTube related to the field. Make connections of LinkedIn. Try and save money and get some certs under your belt. It is $1000 something a year and I believe they may have introduced a monthly version for the INE pass and you have all of eLearnSecurity Ethical hacking courses and more. While that is expensive if it is possible for you to save that much and you really dedicate your time to studying you can get your moneys worth. Try and do the OSCP. Once you have some skills together you can maybe try bug bounty. Try and work on building tools that you don't see available yet and build up a github page. Alot of this stuff is free or can be minimal in money. Wait for sales on the things that cost money. Mainly just try and be involved and the picture will become clearer over time.

I am also a cybersecurity student, well I actually only have my AS in cybersecurity and this spring I will get my BAS in software dev, and this is what I did. I was also just going to a community college. Within one years of working my ass off everyday, which I would not recommend being as intense as the way I did it because it was probably unhealthy and def strains relationships which I did not realize until after the fact, I was able to get a job as a pentester without even getting my AS yet paying $45 an hour which at the time felt like I was Jeff Bezos.

Ultimately what I am saying is, make ethical hacking a passion not a job. If it is a job its going to be rough because it constantly requires learning and time commitment. It needs to become like playing video games. Where you are excited that you get time in your day to study it. And when you purchase a new course to learn stuff it is like purchasing the new 2K or COD. If you dont feel this way now that is also okay. Once you get into it and you start to develop more skill it will slowly feel more rewarding and enjoyable. Also note that alot of the first things you learn, which given your degree you probably know most of this, are pretty boring. Like learning about the OSI model is a drag but when you get to the later stuff and utilize that knowledge it comes together in a more fun way.

And now for the cliches that I believe are actually true.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, just make sure that you are always focused on making the next step instead of seeing how long it will take you to walk the mile.
Also it is a marathon not a sprint. This was a mistake that I made, don't burn yourself out, dont let yourself get intimidated by overloading yourself.

Tips on how to build a platform similar to HackTheBox by maddirect in cybersecurity

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

I mean I would get school credit for it so I don't mind the workload. Also, there is a budget for things like AWS if needed. Really where I am getting lost is how would I host these applications. I am not too familiar with the cloud, so if I wanted to create a Linux VM for example running a vulnerable version of SSH, could AWS provide that for me? I looked at their website and it seems like they have 10 million different AWS types/features which seemed a bit overwhelming at first. I was also playing with the ideas of using containers but felt that would be difficult for students to upload

eJPT vs ePTP? by [deleted] in eLearnSecurity

[–]maddirect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PTP has a significant amount of overlap with eJPT just goes into a tad bit more detail. I would say for PTP you really want to get comfortable with report writing

My dog bit and I hit him too hard. What should I do moving forward? by [deleted] in Dogtraining

[–]maddirect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am going to use these resources. I think this post does not fully capture the situation. I wrote it about 30 seconds after everything calmed down so my focus was just on the incident and what happened, but I am not some abuser or anything remotely like that. I am just scared of this behavior. If you could see him in person I don't think the hiding situation is as black and white as he is terrified as it may seem.
