In settings, you can Miscellaneous -> Always Use HTTPS
Or just install HTTPS everywhere like a normal person.

what did you fucking say to me? *eyes start to glow red* *laughs* you made a mistake using an unsecured connection because now I can find your IP and ruin your life

I have an old Dell Latitude XT3 with Windows 8. Want to start fresh on Linux Mint. Can't boot from USB since the BIOS is admin protected. Anything I can do? I can log in, I just don't have admin privileges.
Gavin Rivera
be able to find a tutorial for what you want to do on youtube
Daniel Perez
oops i thought this was /hpg/. sorry my fellow hackermen
Ethan Ross
pursuing my CEH over the next month bc my work will basically pay for anything. Any other recommendations?
do you know what a general timeline for preparing to pass the oscp would be with at minimum CEH level knowledge?
Most stuff I read online is people talking about how hard it is, but I take that with a grain of salt
Colton Moore
hard to say since certs don't really show skill level (IMO) I'd say just look into mock oscp exams or watch people doing it then gauge from there

how to become a security engineer:
1. The Web Application Hacker's Handbook Probably the first book you want to read; this will teach you the core mindset you need for finding security flaws in web applications as well as give a very strong foundation for the different classes of vulnerabilities.
2. The Mobile Application Hacker's Handbook Good supplement to #1 for application security, obviously focused on mobile apps.
3. The Art of Software Security Assessment The bible of the security industry. Especially instructive for source code review.
4. Security Engineering (Ron Anderson) Supplements #3. Very instructive for injecting security into the overall SDLC and designing secure software.
5. The Tangled Web Excellent historical background and good high level overview of many information security topics. Every engineer should read this, even if they don't work in security.
6. Gray Hat Python Very hands on, good introduction to aspects of reverse engineering and the typical work an e.g. security consultant will do at a top firm.
7. Practical Malware Analysis Very good introduction to malware analysis.
8. Practical Reverse Engineering This book, along with #9 will teach you everything you need to know to effectively reverse engineer software for security-focused analysis.
9. Reversing: Secrets of Reverse Engineering
Nathaniel Edwards
cont.
10. The IDA Pro Book You'll want this if you have any plan to work with IDA Pro at all, which is the gold standard for decompiling and reversing software.
11. The Shellcoder's Handbook If you'd like to write exploits after you're done reversing software to find an exploitable bug, this is a good book to pick up.
12. Cryptography Engineering Very solid and broad introduction to cryptography. Every engineer should read this, even if they don't work in security.
13. Introduction to Modern Cryptography This book, along with #14 is what you want to read if you're going to work as a cryptographer or cryptanalyst professionally.
14. Handbook of Applied Cryptography
Theoretically, these books should resolve your known-unknowns and your unknown-unknowns. Anyone who reads and works through the list should be capable of designing secure software, finding errors in white and black box source code reviews and finding errors in white and black box penetration tests.

Thanks

You're doing god's work, user.

Is pic related a good starting point or is it better to start off with the more specialised books? I've been reading through it lately and I'm kind of beginning to feel like perhaps it'd be better to get a broader knowledge of specific things first of all rather than just going through a bit of everything.
I'm doing the beta test for CompTIA's Pentest+. What's Sup Forumss thoughts on it?
Ian Diaz
Hey, thanks for replying. >1. The Web Application Hacker's Handbook Good shit. I started reading this a few weeks ago. I'm glad you mentioned it, because it seems a bit outdated, no? It's definitely good so far, and I think most of the material still holds for today.
