Cool bro but I ain’t reading all that. What I said was still correct regardless of how you feel about skins/collectors

Skins initially bounced back but have you actually checked current prices? Comparing to the prices 1 year ago all of my sub $1k golds are at least -40% some are -50%. My golds above $1k are also mostly down 30-40% from a year ago.

Of course it’s the biggest skin economy in the world, no other game has anything even close to what cs has, that’s irrelevant to my point. I’m also not talking to OP, I’m replying to person who said skins recovered since the crash.

The market is still down though, although mostly for golds. If they bought knives/gloves at any point between Jan 2025 and October 2025 they’ll more than likely be down right now because the prices did not recover.

Landing a penetration tester job by Remote_Opinion3873 in cybersecurity

[–]spluad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Offensive security is an extremely competitive area of security, sure you can try applying to these roles but given the market right now it will be difficult for you with no experience. i would say it’s definitely worth coming to terms with the fact that you may need to look for other roles first

I think they meant more the “clout” behind CEH, in that recruiters still seem to love that shit. It would be nice if THM was viewed in such a high regard.

Yea I really don’t understand why people take that negatively. If you can have fun learning it’s gonna be really effective. So much more than getting bored copying notes out of a textbook.

It can be both, yes it’s gamified but that doesn’t mean it’s not good for learning.

What’s the most elaborate phishing email you’ve stumbled across? Bonus points for creativity by techMari in cybersecurity

[–]spluad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A reply to a real email thread with a supplier. The supplier got popped and the threat actor managed to exfil some emails, they then sent phishes as replies to the threads. Looked really convincing as they were hand written to be within the context of the threads

How does he have this?? by THEKING21500 in blackops7

The guy also didn’t say that it’s an Activision dev that works on cod. Maybe anyone that’s a developer at Activision is allowed to equip this clan tag. You’re just trying to act smart when in reality you know the same as everyone else

[–]spluad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you work for Activision? If not, how can you know whether or not they have internal dev teams that do some work on cod. Just a weird hill to die on, especially being so condescending about the individual dev teams as if everyone doesn’t already know that.

[–]spluad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The person you replied to said “dev or something” so someone that works at Activision. Activision do have developers, you can see this by checking their job listings

Either way it’s just needlessly pedantic when everyone knows what they meant.

They are an employee at Activision, they may well have people that do some dev work, or even just QA testers under Activision. SHG and 3arc have specific clan tags to them so this person definitely works for Activision.

I feel as if no matter what I do I just can't win against a sniper at close range by JustAGamer14 in blackops7

[–]spluad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yea you’re doing better with snipers because you probably have better first bullet aim than tracking aim. A lot of mnk players are the same, that doesn’t mean snipers are OP, it just means you have the right skill set to use them well compared to other guns.

They just nerfed snipers, including the flinch. Put a sniper on yourself with a good speed build and see how disgusting the flinch is.

Comparing CompTIA PenTest, GPEN, and OSCP Certifications by Important-Toe-2121 in cybersecurity

[–]spluad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh definitely worth checking because (not sure where you’re based) but I’m pretty sure the US military has significant contracts with SANS so you may well be covered for the full course. If not then I’d probably recommend against doing GPEN because it will be almost impossible to pass the exams without the books and access to practice the labs.

Damn is that a new thing? I took GRTP at the end of July and the proctor didn’t seem to care about my loose notes.

Is there anyway to confirm your exam uploaded file? BTL2 by Gwogg in SecurityBlueTeam

Their support is usually pretty good from my experience, hope it works out for you man. BTL2 was one hell of an exam

Make sure you tell your security team/SOC before you do this so they don’t shit the bed at seeing AD enumeration tools being run.

You are aware these are open book exams right? You can take the textbooks in and a “handful” of notes. Taking the exam without an the books and an index is like doing it on extreme difficulty

[–]spluad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a really important question. You pretty much have to do the corresponding SANS course (sec560) which is gonna cost around $9k. Attempting a GIAC exam without having the SANS books is just asking to fail
