I was testing a bot. If you don’t like it… go away.

And you clearly are illiterate. Your first comment is also stupid.

Going to finish current project and maybe fix somethings in other code. I have several things going on today as well, but should be interesting.

Been questioning if I should continue with my side projects and coding my tools since I’ve had people that known me for 5+ years be like “You’ve been trying to code malware for the past five years” and it is honestly depressing that with whatever progress I make people either demand more or they just end up asking me things like “What is the purpose?”.

I do this mostly for fun and I want to go back to the community college to go through the programs for networking and security certs that they offer, but last time I tried to go back I went to this online event thing where counselors were supposed to help me and the woman I got acted like my questions were stupid and would sigh and other things.

I start this new welding job on Thursday and my mom seems to trying to push me to do it for god knows how long, and things are just feeling like they are going toward a direction I don’t want. Sure welding seems cool and all, but I still kind of want to get into Red Team except I don’t think I’m good enough and so far my experiences with most folks supposedly in the field seem to just be in the mindset of when they started when the field has changed dramatically.

I’ve tried going the helpdesk route, but it just made me lose my soul, and I was overworked to the point I would get burnt out. I’ve tried writing articles and participate in various communities, but in all honesty, everyone made me feel inadequate and invisible. I used to be part of the 0x00sec community, but the people there were horrible to me, and so I started acting out even though I was a teenager. Tried going to Uni, but the boys there were pretty awful, to the point that one of the professors who talked to my mom the other day said they were shitheads.

Sorry for this rant, but in all honesty I don’t know anymore if I should even bother anymore trying to get into the industry, and I’m starting to really doubt if all I’ve been doing is even that good. My love is in hardware and osint. I’ve been trying to write things I think could help people and sharing what I can, but I feel like it just not good enough.

Yeah. I will take a look. Just been questioning a lot for a while now if I really belong since most of the time I just don’t think I do since my interests and my focus I feel like aren’t “traditional”. I’ve been coding a lot more thanks to some encouragement from people, but a lot of times I don’t think whatever I code is fancy or sexy enough since I keep everything simple. Been reading as much as I can articles of real world attacks and the tools/techniques use which has helped a lot to make me feel more adequate since a lot of times you don’t need all this fancy techniques and reading how attackers drop whole zip files of like notepad++ with the necessary dlls or whatever helps give a more realistic insight.

I think if I ever end up with my foot in the door and actually end up doing work, I might end up trying to teach and mentor people since nobody, especially girls, should have to put up with all the bs I had to.

You might want to look at mobile Linux OS. The GeminiPDA currently runs Android OS or Ubuntu Touch, but can run other mobile distros.

Also something like what the pawnagotchi did with a paper display might also work, but not sure.

alex_02,
@alex_02@infosec.pub avatar

Yeah. It seems like what you want is a mobile linux os with an old school desktop skin which you can def find and configure. Just check what arch they support and if they don’t officially support you can probably find docs on compiling the proper kernel with necessary drivers.

Community Feedback Request: Weekly Threads

Hello /c/cybersecurity! I wanted to take the temperature on weekly threads (i.e. Mentorship Monday, Training Tuesday, etc…) and get an idea of whether people like these and want to see them continue. I’ve noticed a drop in engagement with the threads and didn’t want to spam the feed if people weren’t interested. If you...

I’ve just been busy and a bit overwhelmed with everything I’ve been doing. lol

EDIT: Also still self concious with anything I share.

Packet Squirrel Mark II Upgraded? (hak5.org)

The new Packet Squirrel got a bit of an update. I don’t know how much of an upgrade, but the type c usb is an improvement alone. Hopefully the price justifies it, and will check it out once I get my hands on one. An alternative is of course something like this: www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-ar300m/...

I found it on Pinterest, but if you slap on OpenWRT or DD-WRT on any supported/old router you can use the repos provided with whatever build you are using, which have most of the software you can use to build a pwnbox. You can even put this Wifi-Pineapple-Cloner on a ton of devices: github.com/xchwarze/wifi-pineapple-cloner

A bit off-topic, but it is a nice backpack (www.llbean.com)

So I’ve been using this backpack for a while now, and I have to say for what I paid for it has definitely surprised me. The fabric is pretty durable and the separate tech pouch is very spacious. I haven’t properly been able to test it, but hopefully in about 3 to 6 months I will know better before I decide to buy the black...

alex_02,
@alex_02@infosec.pub avatar

Yeah. My mom got my sibling and I a L.L. Bean backpack when we were younger, and I decided to give them a try again when I saw this particular backpack. I do know they don’t make them like they used to, but so far this one is working well.

My tech pouch currently is this cloth pencil case that works for most of my stuff, but it doesn’t fit everything and since I want to also get into something like photography I think a proper tech pouch is warranted asap.

alex_02,
@alex_02@infosec.pub avatar

Well… I think it is discontinued but there are mix things. Maintaining projects is just difficult. It is a nice software.

alex_02,
@alex_02@infosec.pub avatar

That looks pretty cool. Why the name?

alex_02,

Makes sense. It is RPi0’s. Might be able to make it somewhat usable with Rpi02?
