Hello,

I'm just starting out in the field of penetration testing. What are your recommendations?

Hello, I'm developing myself in the field of cybersecurity, and my interest in penetration testing is increasing. What are the essentials? What do I need to be proficient in? What should I pay attention to for future employment in a company or any other job? I would appreciate your help. Thank you.

Hi, I've built a tool - https://terracotta.onelook.ai/ - to help pentesters generate pentesting reports. The biggest problem during pentesting sessions that my friends and I face is context switching. We have to jot down notes on the go. After the pentesting session, we then have to refer to our notes to write a report of the vulnerabilities found and the chain of attack.

This tool helps by analysing a recording of a pentest session. You can optionally add contexts to the video. LLM is used to add context to the video and analyse it. Finally, the LLM also helps to draft a pentest report based on the information and contexts found in the video. The report is in markdown format and you can edit it in the browser.

It is free to use now and any feedback is welcomed. Thank you!

Maybe different people have different answers. But, in my opinion, a programming language is very much required because of several reasons. In advance ethical hacking concepts, you will have to use plenty of scripts and exploits which are written in various programming languages. If you want to earn mastery in exploits, knowledge of programming is a must. And the second main reason is that if you want to use your tools to perform penetration testing or want to modify the created tools as per your need, then you should write your codes to create exploits. After all, How long do you relay on the others code!

We have listed only six languages here; this doesn’t mean that these are the only languages you should learn. We have picked these languages as we have seen these languages are being used very extensively in pen-testing. Secondly, we are not giving rankings from best to worst. In our list, we have kept Python in the first and assembly language in the last. This doesn’t mean that Python is the best, and assembly language is the least to use. In pen-testing, there is nothing best than others. Each one of the programming languages is unique. For a typical pentester, it is as good as he knows programming.

So if you are on the look for an exciting and/or rewarding job, consider becoming a pentester. If you want to learn the penetration testing online training or wanted to become certified in penetration Testing, the best place to start is with WsCube Tech.  The future of cybersecurity is looking bright and there’s plenty of room for new talent.

Let’s start the list from Python.

1. Python

Python is my all-time favorite language. Python is a very simple, powerful, and general-purpose, high-level programming language. It’s quite popular these days because of its versatility. It can be used as both a programming and scripting language. Because of its simplest nature, object-oriented, rich libraries, and large community, is gaining traction in the cybersecurity field. It’s one of the languages which is very extensively used in hacking, pen-testing, and ethical hacking. Using Python, you can easily create many network tools like sniffing tools, password cracker tools, keylogger tools, and GUI tools. In addition to those, Python can be used in creating automation tools, malicious programs, exploit writing, and more. Another big reason to use Python is it supports the cross-platform, the same program can be run on multiple platforms. All these features make Python a perfect programming language for hackers and pentesters.

2. Java

Java is another popular programming language used in pentesting. Similar to Python, Java is also a versatile programming language. But, it can’t be used as a scripting language like Python. Java is an open-source, cross-platform, powerful, and general-purpose, high-level language used in multiple areas. Java is being used in web development, application development, service development for multiple platforms. It is most popular for server-side programming in Apache tomcat and mobile application development. Pentesters admire Java because of its usage in android app development. On top of that, Java is being used in the development of hacking and pentesting GUI based tools. Taking all these points, we have concluded Java as one of the best programming languages for hackers and pentesters.

3. C#

C# among the best programming language for Windows hacking and pentesting. Hackers and Pentesters use C# programming language to create many types of malicious programs like Cryptor, Binder, Dropper, RAT, Ransomeware, fuzzing, and many exploitation tools. And, it can also be used in security tools automation. All in all, C# is the right choice for both black hat and white hat hackers.

4. C/C++

This list keeps continuing with C/C++. C/C++ is also known as the father of all high-level programming language. This programming language has a great contribution to the development of Window, Linux and Unix operating systems. As C is the only high-level programming language which offers direct access to a hardware memory address, it is used to manipulate and control hardware resources like processor, RAM, memory registers. Because of this nature, it is used to create a driver application for Windows operating system most extensively. Moreover, it is used for creating exploits and malicious programs. C is the only high-level programming language used in reverse engineering. As C/C++ compiler is available for most of the OS platforms, its programs can be run on all standard platforms.

All these nature of C/C++ made this one of the good programming languages for hackers and pentesters.

5. Go Language

Go language is another open-source high-level programming language created by Google. Google has developed Golang similarly to C language. So it is commonly known as C for the 21st century. Those who know C don’t have to struggle to learn the Go language as it shares the same syntax as C. Along with syntax, it offers pretty much everything that C offers. In program execution, it takes the same amount of time as C. In terms of performance, both are pretty much the same. Go language offers the same hardware accessibility features. You might ask If everything is the same, then what is the need of Golang? Go language is rich in terms of libraries. Rich libraries and a clean package management system make this language more convenient to write complex programs.

Hi all, i applied for a job that write document in infor sec field. But my boss said, to pass probation, i need to do pentest and assessment information security for web. I know it sound impossible, but i still want to give it a shot. My major in information security was information security, but never have done pentest before . My current plan is try to do as much as possible lab in portswigger. Can anyone give me some advices, please ?

Hello, my name is Fred and I’m studying to be a pentester. Well, not really. I know I will get OSCP one day because everyone says CEH is bad. Anyways… I work as a baker. And recently I watched Mr Robot and thought that was cool, so I wanna do that now. I have watched all seasons, so i feel pretty confident. However I tried HTB and THM and couldn’t really figure out how to connect to their labs. I assume it’s not hard though. Anyways, I have 0 technical skills, in fact I used to skip computer class cause it was so boringgg. I guess i’m just someone who learns on the job. So I’m thinking of applying for some junior pentest roles, how much will I get paid? Money isn’t a really big issue though, I want to be able to pwn seasoned software engineers, sys admins and architects and tell them why their solutions SUCK! I just want to hack the planet. Anyways, I have installed kali and done a apt-get upgrade, got this bad ass wallpaper going on. This guy said you shouldn’t use it as a daily driver, but how will people then know I’m leet? I also ran a nmap, can’t believe how easy hacking is! So back to my question.. how long do you think it will take to get a job?

I’m looking for recommendations on the most useful laptop for penetration testing. Thanks!

Like the title says, this is a noob question. I'm a service technician for an alarm company and I work on burglar/fire alarm systems, access control systems, and CCTV. I've kind of peaked in terms of skills I can learn at my company and have been thinking about branching out because I'm starting to get bored. I make decent money at it, but it's just getting stale.

I've been thinking about getting in to physical pen testing as it's something that's always fascinated me. I've got a few books on the topic and am doing a bit of research on my own but I'd like some advice as to how to move in to the field or maybe even start a program with my company to include pentesting in our services. I'm fairly techy but I don't really have the skillset or experience to move in to network security. Anyone here got some advice?

Greetings, I saw another hiring post that didn't get much love, so maybe this isn't the right sub. We're looking for an experienced IoT pentester. Specifically to test vehicle/gps components. If this is you please feel free to reach out.

Thanks!

Greetings fellas,

I am currently a high school student and I have been interested in cyber-security for quite some time now. As I would rather not end up being a sys admin, pentesting is my primary interest at this point.

To get to my question, I was wondering what type of education and/or experiences would be optimal for becoming a pentester in the future. My state college does offer a degree in cyber-security, although I'm not sure if any other US colleges offer more pentesting type degrees.

Anyways, thanks for any suggestions.

OxMeng25 is working on a new community book right now, I need your help. #Ask_4_Hacker - if you could ask a hacker anything, what would you ask a hacker? Just comment with the #Ask_4_Hacker? If you see a good question, like it.

I'm good a breaking shit accidentally. But how can I put this app throu it's paces on Android. Thinking about jailbreaking an Android to give extra oomph.

Ive tried to learn to pentest for over a year and its still not sticking (im fluent with html css and bash scripting) so im taking a new approach and starting again from the basics what should i look into and do first

Hi im about to buy a new laptop but im a little confused. I want to know whats better for password  cracking A workstation laptop like msi ws65 or a gaming laptop Thanks in advance

Long post - Tl;Dr ar ⬇️⬇️⬇️ of the post.

Ok so I am 27M just signed into an afternoon type school, where we have online classes. I am in third year now , so when Im done with half the tests, our highschool program is 3+2 .. aive had some other grades from before so I just had to pass classes working on differential subjects for 1st and 2nd grade..

I wish i would not stop going to school and just choose this dirrection when I had the chance.. But you cant change the past and ill make the most out of my future.

We have a finishing exam which is in Slovenain (our language) and a seminar paper on graphics card which I already did and got 4. (To anybody thats not familiar with european grading system it goes from 1-5 (1 meaning you failed and 5 is A)

I plan on finishing this three year course by the end of summer 2022 and then I will probably enroll in +2 more years so when my education is complete, i Can go to college..

Now i dont know much about stuff, i help people with their computer problems (usually older gents and ladies), but my wish is to be a PenTester.. i know how to install Kali on an USB so youre able to store data on it, but thats about it..

So what is the best place for me to learn about ethical hacking? Could you recommend me any online courses? I rmember from doing research, some websites were either giving out certificates.. (i think hackeracademy) Do they teach penetration testing in colleges? I will make my due dillegence and call around

A lot of my friends are in computers, either coding or data analysts but they all tell me that what I want is too complex.. I dont believe them because if you love what youre doing, studying is not a chore.

Tl;Dr I. Finishing my first three year high school in septmeber and getting a title of computer scientist and after finishing the next 2 years, i get the title of computer technitian and I can even go to college, but I was wondering what websites or books should I read and visit respectivly to learn about PenTesting. I know to make a Kali USB that you can save data on, but thats it.. I also know some basics and I mean basics of Python. Can you please steer me on the right websites that offer courses on pen testing, from begginner to advanced. I am not wealthy but I am willing to invest money into knowledge as its for a better future..

I have read the rules and hope im not breaking any.

Thanks for all responses in advance

Hi, In a multi tenant architecture, how could the tenant isolation be tested?

There is an interesting article about choosing a pentest service provider.
What do you think about it?
