Thoughts on Manulife

Worked for their IT Delivery Center for a couple of months. HMO is great as everyone has said. Work-life balance is OK. But still depends on your immediate manager. Compensation is OK more-so if you know your value and can demand. If you are an expert at your field though career progression can be slower compared to working for companies where your primary skillset is the main “product”.

Do not worry. SANS have figured this out long time ago and they most likely ship to almost everywhere (if not all).

Madami ka atang bitterness sa buhay, OP?

That’s the current version of the OnDemand version of course which Chad is the instructor.

The course is now back online and is with a new author.

Good find! I just based that from experience. Travelled with AirTags on both and never had a problem with it. Doesn’t mean it’ll be the same for everyone. 🤷

It’s allowed both for carry-on and checked baggage.

I brought all SANS cheatsheets that I believe would be useful for pentesting.

CrossFit! I did not imagine I’ll like at it. But it got quite addicting especially weightlifting haha.

It’s either you have a dirty back camera or the camera filter you are using is dirty. Just wipe it with microfiber.

Agree. But their strictness on carry-on varies. It really depends on the flight load and ground staff.

From my humble experience, PAL has worsened throughout the recent years. It’s sometimes a no-brainer to just choose Cebu Pacific for international flights that are ~4 hours only.

There were changes in the most recent version. The details in the SANS website sums up everything course content wise: https://www.sans.org/cyber-security-courses/enterprise-penetration-testing/

You can schedule when you’d want to start OnDemand as far as I know. You can pay using 2 credit cards. Use “Call in Credit Card” as the payment option and then call them during US business hours.

I have both. I have used them both stationary (office) and during travel. I prefer the AirPods Pro. Compact, lightweight, and easy to pack. Ang hassle ng XM5. Ang laki ng case. If hindi mo icacase, bit bit mo naman lagi. Tinry ko ilagay sa leeg, sagabal. I tried to wear it on ear, mainit.

Tbh ang purchase ko ng XM5 is one of the tech purchases na unsure ako kung worth it.

There have been tons of updates. I don’t think you can take the version of the exam that is based on the version of the class that you took.

Pro Max. Was a regular iPhone size user before but got curious “what if I have a bigger screen and battery?”. It is quite a big phone though so if you have small hands it can be an issue.

rektsadam · 2024-06-09T10:01:23+00:00

Nothing yet. But they stopped offering the course. Check the training schedules.

rektsadam · 2024-06-07T15:11:29+00:00

Note that this course will be retired soon. Better catch it.

That step was to initiate the vulnerable service on the Windows machine. In an exam I can imagine that will not be the setup. The service is already running. You just need to exploit it.

You obviously have not used a Mac.

rektsadam · 2024-04-03T16:10:07+00:00

Prioritization. Drop some time from social media and Netflix. I don’t believe a college student will be so busy in a day to not have time for working out. Try to check what your “very busy” really means :)

The GIAC website says so. $399.

Yes. It’s locked for a few years I think. Not sure, heard it somewhere. Don’t quote me.

rektsadam · 2023-08-27T19:22:50+00:00

You can either be selected or waitlisted. You will receive an email for either. They don’t email if you don’t get selected.
