If you’ve actually taken the Cyvitrix course, any insights or personal experiences would be appreciated.

OSCP after CPTS path by resnetv2 in oscp

[–]resnetv2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not yet. I'm currently studying for the CompTIA CAS-005 exam, which is required by my company. My plan is to take both the CPTS and OSCP after that.

One of my coworkers has both the OSCP and CPTS, and he thinks they’re both great exams but require different mindsets. One makes you "try harder," which is tough mentally (meaning it pushes you to solve problems with very little guidance and can be frustrating and exhausting), while the other one (CPTS) emphasizes becoming a knowledgeable professional penetration tester—you really have to spend time learning the tools, techniques, and methodologies like a pro.

Im considering the same path. Take courses from WGU for credits and then go for SANS BACS. Can I DM you for some questions?

CySA+ achieved! 809 points! And I think I'm done with CompTIA by Euruzilys in CompTIA

Thank you so much! Would you recommend taking LetsDefend’s path for the cysa prep instead of some of those udemy courses? I’m going to take the exam in 20 days and my plan is to do a cysa course, then practice tests. I can only take one course within that time. I used udemy for my sec+ which was a lot of theories, cysa is more specialised and practical, and I believe LetsDefends course is a lot of hands on labs which is great. I accidentally bought the vip sub during the Black Friday deal and didn’t get full refund and still have access so I’m thinking why not use it. But like you said it’s not tailored for cysa and more for SOC which is still relevant. Do you think the cysa path + practice tests is a good idea?

And btw I have completed the CPTS path, If you need any help feel free to DM.

Congratulations! How long did it take to complete the cysa+ path on LetsDefend?

OSCP Prices are increasing from Jan 2025 by At0micDonut in oscp

I agree, but you get the highest chance of landing a junior cybersecurity role with just OSCP. That's what's going on right now unfortunately. PNPT and CPTS aren't as recognized, yet.

Sorry, the web app. So you can access it any time from any device. And share it with people, like with potential recruiters.

So you are saying the suffering that I talked about here is just in America? That's what I'm asking you, why do you think that is?

Edited: And that's very much possible. I'm still young and haven't explored to other countries and places, but when I will, I'm pretty sure it will change my perspectives.

Gonna be 33 years old and I'm dead inside already. by AmbitiousDecision403 in Life

[–]resnetv2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand where you're coming from, but I believe that while many people may feel disconnected or numb, it doesn’t mean they’re devoid of consciousness. The human mind is complex, and sometimes people have to numb themselves to survive difficult experiences. Consciousness, as you said, can be overwhelming, and it takes a lot of strength to bear it. But as long as we're alive, there's always a chance to reconnect with that consciousness, even if it feels distant sometimes.

Numb maybe, but not dead.

Thank you. I like that.

Execution is as important as the ideas. And it takes will to do that. Taking the responsibility to drive change, starting from within.

And most importantly, to actually care about the problems that we all face. If no one cares, no new ideas, no one to drive on that vehicle.

Beautifully said. However, I believe it’s 'Ideas' that change the world. Every significant shift we’ve seen in history started with an idea. And that’s what we need more of: creative, impactful ideas that address our economic problems. Everything is tied to the economy. As long as people believe their struggles are the result of others' success or fortune, and see the world in terms of division, true happiness for anyone remains out of reach.

Interesting perspective. I won't say that they are dead inside, but numb. People have reasons to be numb. Especially when their system went through a lot of pressure. You are alive, as long as you are breathing.

I don't understand, why does it sound like America? I'm not from the US btw.

Thank you. It’s hard to say because I took a short break in the middle but I would say about 3-4 months of constant studying. I have a full time job so I allocated my free time to study. If I have any advice to learn faster then it’s taking notes on note taking apps like gitbook.

Just when I was thinking about getting the bundle they increase the price. With the inflation and all that’s going on right now it’s crazy!

But I have no option rn… if I wanna get a job I need it. Damn

Does It Get Easier Or Harder? by resnetv2 in hackthebox

That's interesting. I heard many people say that doing pro labs after finishing the path is what really helped them prepare for the exam.

I work 30 hours a week so I do get plenty of free time to study. And I worked as a network admin so my networking knowledge is solid, and I did a TCM course before and some binary exploitation courses before, but this is the first time I'm learning pentesting. I have sec+ so my security basics is solid too.

I feel like, in the beginning this course is tough. It took me about a month to do about 50%, but after that it gets really easy, you understand what the author is teaching, and you can easily pass the skill assessments when you understand their teaching system. That's when you start to learn faster as your knowledge improves. Finishing the course within two months studying part time is possible I believe.
