  • Using Kali? Easy if you have training. The capstone for our security course a decade ago was too find and exploit 5 remote machines (4 on the same network, 1 was on a second network only one of the machines had access to) in an hour with Kali. I found all 5 but could only exploit 3 of them. If I didn’t have to exploit any of them 7 would be reasonably easy to find.

    Kali basically has a library of known exploits and you just run the scanner on a target.

    This isn’t novel exploit discovery. This is “which of these 10 windows machines hasn’t been updated in 3 years?”

    Them: “How do I get to your place in my career?”

    Me: “What do you mean?”

    Them: “You… Have the position I want eventually. What did you do?”

    Me: “Well. 20… No that cant be right… I mean… Yeah… 20 years ago… I graduated college… Then uhh. I’m… Uh…”

    At this point either you make up some bullshit or you say it’s just experience. Then you realize what a midlife crisis is and wonder if you are having one which like like 20% of the definition of a midlife crisis.

    Most Americans on the west coast call any place a shipping container can unload or an aircraft carrier to dock a port.

    A grand total of zero Americans would ever think to disambiguate a warm water port or not. Especially from Texas. That’s the weird part. Not the word port itself.

    Harbor is usually reserved for non-commercial or fishing use only.
