@Jhaddix Dan is a very wholesome plugin.

@THORp The only time I have Kali on bare metal is when I have to interact directly with wifi antennas. The rest of the time I use Kali in a VM (virtualbox or vmware). These VM Kali images are build from scripts or baseline images per engagement.

@accidentalciso I'm not intelligible at any character limit.

@bea Now that I think about it, where are all the iris and fingerprint breach data dumps?

@THORp For fun I asked this to ChatGPT and here is what *it* said.

@THORp There is no defined path to becoming a penetration tester. You might want to take whatever technical cybersecurity position you can get after you finish your degree. Then work your way to penetration testing by networking, contributing to the community, always learning, and maybe the OSCP.

@THORp Yes and no. Getting into penetration testing is more of a "who you know" type industry, so networking is very important. Also pivoting internally into pentesting from another position at a company is a valid entry point.
Pentesters rarely get hired without prior pentesting experience. Getting that experience is the tricky part.
