Here they are!</p> <p>1-What are the biggest mistakes you made or you see others make when learning about pen-testing? What are the most common mistakes at the pro level?</p> <p>2-If you had to train me for 4 weeks for a zero to mastery competition on pen-testing, and 1 million dollars was on the line, what would that training look like? What about 8 weeks? What would your roadmap and sequencing be?</p> <p>3- What do you think are the commonalities amongst the top TryHackMe/HackTheBox competitors? 4B- Which of these commanalities are not taught at TryHackMe/HackTheBox or online courses? 4C- Which neglected commonality (found in answer 4B) could I get good at abnormally quickly.</p> <p>4- If you were to create a 'cheat sheet' that listed the most important principles or concepts in pen-testing, what would be on it?</p> <p>5- What small projects would you recommend a new person to make to keep them motivated?</p> <p>6- How do you retain your knowledge? Do you take notes with pen and paper or digitally? Do you prefer to remember through practice and building projects instead?</p> pentesting ethicalhacking hacking cybersecurity LearningToCode Sat, 08 Jan 2022 13:20:49 +0000 https://dev.to/cybersecure0/command-line-courses-1c5p https://dev.to/cybersecure0/command-line-courses-1c5p <p>I’m trying to get in to Linux system administration and was enrolled in the free introduction to Linux course by the Linux Foundation. It turned out to be too complicated for me in regard to the command line. I found it jumped from subject to subject too quickly. I’m wondering what you think is the best way to learn the command line/shell? Any books, free or paid courses or websites you would suggest? A specific emphasis on system administration would be a bonus!</p> LearningToCode Wed, 22 Dec 2021 04:14:26 +0000 https://dev.to/cybersecure0/linux-admin-career-goal-1fd1 https://dev.to/cybersecure0/linux-admin-career-goal-1fd1 <p>I recently installed my very first Linux distribution, PopOS and have been having a wonderful time with it. I have no knowledge about anything coding or Linux related. My question is, is there a Linux based job I could get that would require less overall knowledge/ skills than a Linux admin? Or should I focus on learning to code/program while working on system admin skills?</p>
