SysAdmin interupting: How? That room has biometric controls on the badge reader!

I'm merely a pentester who has done a bit of test planning around imaging and sample processing machines and all of them are architectured similar ways.

Sometimes I hate the way my brain crawls all over a new concept (adversarial poetry!) and asks "but what are the applications?" (anti-sphinx vault locks!) and then goes "but wait, how would *I* game that?"
If I was 30 years younger I'd be a pentester, wouldn't I?

... who understand why certain computer exploits work.
One type of pentester knows that an ancient unpatched windows server is vulnerable to MS08-067 and can find the metasploit module. Another type of pentester can find fresh vulnerabilities in network services of a fully patched server.

Today was my last day as a pentester at Bsecure. After a three-year journey of hunting on the side, I’m ready to go all-in as a full-time bug bounty hunter. You can read about my journey from pentester to full-time hunter here: gelu.chat/posts/from-p...

Today is the 9th anniversary of my full-time start in a pentesting job.
I was let go six weeks later for, “Not being quite at the level we’re looking for.”
Now I’m a senior technical manager with 12 pentester and 2 IT direct reports.
Don’t give up.

i get that the stereotype is a hacker in the basement using kali in their free time to be a big serious pentester but uh. can we normalize people having 1) hobbies outside of work, & 2) using a variety of tools instead of the flashiest ones that tech influencers pretend they use

You need to be able to write exploits to be a pentester?
If the job requires exploit development you are an exploit developer not a pentester...
