PentesterUniversity Updates!

Hey Everyone,

So I wanted to give everyone an update on our online school dubbed "PentesterUniversity" ™, which you can see HERE. I'm so excited! That being said, I've been working on creating course content and building my new Foldable desk area. I wanted to share some pictures with everyone so you can see what the work area looks like right now.

Here is the desk folded down for work. You can see my laptop, and of course my brand new Blue Yeti microphone with windscreen! Yes, I know the laptop is missing a mouse button lol.

A better shot from the distance. I plan to add storage hooks above the desk for my laptop, and a pocket for my charger, wires, etc. Also, the microphone will be going on a foldable mic stand that will be attached to the wall on the right.

Underneath. I used a 1x6 header that I screwed to the studs in the wall. Then a piano hinge for the hinging, and I custom made legs that went on foldable locking leg brackets I got from Amazon. The desk material is 3/4 Mellamine.

Here is the desk with the legs folded in, and the desk folded down. Frees up tons of floor space this way.

So, I'm finally going to have a comfortable space to work from, so I can create more awesome content for the school.

Now, the big question is; How much is the school going to cost? Here's what I am thinking, and please, I welcome your feedback. I'm going to do two pricing models that I think will suit most users.

We are going to have a lot of courses. Network Security Beginner-Advanced, Linux classes, Networking Classes, Web Pentest classes, WiFi Pentest classes, etc.


Monthly Subscription:

For everyone who signs up for a free registration from now until I release the first class will only pay $49.99 per month, and after release anyone who signs up will pay $59.99 per month. You can take as many classes as you want, and take as long as you want to complete them.

Per Class:

Each class will vary in a flat fee price from $99-$299+. You will be able to study at your own pace, and take as long as you need to complete it. Price stays the same.

Also, we are going to have quizzes, private student forums where you can contact me and others directly, email support with me, and much more! I wanted to be fair on the pricing because I want to be able to teach anyone, no matter their budgets. This is a rapidly growing industry, and we are in very high demand, which means we command a very high salary for our skill.

So, now that I'm all set up, please feel free to send me any feedback in the comments section below and of course sign up for an account at PentesterUniversity ™  so you can get that special discount for pre-registration!

Hard Drive Crash

Hey Everyone,

So if you've been following along on Twitter, you'd have had a good laugh at my expense today. Last night the HDD crashed on the trusty laptop.

I tried everything, fsck, etc. Nothing. Bad sectors, probably physical damage! But, I finally had enough of these physical hard drives always eventually breaking, and finally broke down and bought a SSD for the laptop. This Computer flys now!

So, that being said, I had to re-download Kali Linux, and being that my main laptop just died, and no external CD/DVD writers around for the tablets/smart phones, I broke out a very old, highly abused windows XP laptop I found laying around. It only had a CD burner, but I wanted the full ISO of Kali. So, that won't fit on a CD.

Plan B: I had to download the large ISO over WiFi. No big deal, but now I remember why I tossed that WinXP Laptop into the back of the closet. The wifi card randomly kills the signal, and of course the ancient hardware. So imagine downloading 2.8GB of an iso, over a spotty wifi and only 512MB Ram!

Finally got it downloaded, and made a bootable USB jump drive, then installed to this Laptop from that!

Happy Friday

:-)

1.2 Million Unique Passwords List

Hey Guys,

I Have created a brand new 1,290,141 Unique (No duplicates) Custom password list. Combines the most common passwords that have been hacked from 2012-2015, and a ton of custom passwords I've created and used over the years, even recently. The list requires a donation, to which you choose how much or how little. Most people donate $5.00 USD. After the donation, you should be redirected to the direct download. If there is an issue, kindly send me an email with your PayPal confirmation number or email address and I will personally send you a copy.

This literally took me hours and hours to compile, de-duplicate, and package. Once you check out with paypal, it will direct you to a download. Please keep that in mind!

Thanks! And as always, Enjoy!

Updates: Next Week

Starting Next Week:

I am going to begin compiling the data for the presentation on "Phases of NetSec" which will discuss all of the details, steps, etc in Network Security Auditing and Penetration Testing. So far it's 13 slides of just talking points, so there is a lot of ground to cover. 

I am trying to figure out how to Produce the Video. Meaning it's obviously going to have to be done in parts since there is so much information to cover. 

While I am working on that, don't forget to check out the newest video:
Tor-Buddy Script Demo Tor + Proxychains + Anonymous DNS:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AedFlLSmJf8

I will still be making Quick Vids based on your guys input on what you would like to learn in the interim. We have had 2 requests so far, 1 for nmap and one for VM-tools for kali linux. nmap will be included in the next video set: "Phases of NetSec".

Remember, please don't forget to like and share our videos, Facebook, and of course this very blog with all of your friends, family, and co-workers! Our presence on the web has been growing steadily, and that is great! The more people interested, the more creative I can be! 

Thanks Guys! See you in the next Video!

Updated OpenVAS-6 OpenVAS EZ Startup Script

Updated OpenVAS-6 OpenVAS EZ Startup Script

I have updated the OpenVAS-6 EZ Setup script located HERE to include not only the startup script I wrote but also the Check-Setup script provided by OpenVAS for debugging purposes. I decided to do this to help users who are having difficulty getting it setup or running.

I am also working on the ToR auto script tonight as mentioned in the video "Installing and Configuring ToR + Proxychains as seen HERE so Stay tuned for that script and a video showing it's usages :-)

Enjoy! And Stay Tuned! 

It's Monday!

Hey Guys,

Hope you enjoyed your weekend. I apologize for making a post so late in the day, but, well, it's Manic Monday here!

The day is un-winding now. I am hoping to get the new intro done today/tonight. Then I want to move onto getting my virtual lab finished so we can resume Hacking the machines in there on the videos. I am going to redo the lab, because I want to further segment it, and put a Virtual Router/Firewall in place to simulate real world excersizes on how to perform firewall evasion.

I will also do a video on setting up your own Virtual Lab as has been requested by one of our members!

I am also thinking of creating a forum where we can ask questions, get help, etc. This idea I am not sure about quite yet.

Enough out of me! Back to work! :-)

EDIT:

I think what we are going to do is save the Virtual Firewall for the Advanced Video Tutorials.

I really want to get into showing you guys some examples of hacking machines. Then we will do a Virtual Lab setup, and then I will re-do the lab and setup the virtual firewall, fire it up on a Public IP, and show advanced techniques in terms of firewall evasion, etc.  

New Video Intro

Hey Guys,

I am working on a new Intro to our videos. I find as I am becoming better with Video Editing, that the default intro is kinda boring. I am hoping that tomorrow I can get Win2k3 server installed on the VM server. Also, I need to reinstall win7 because somehow it decided to BSOD with the network config, Not even sure why, but that is MSFT windows for you. All of my UNIX/Linux VM's are chugging right along without a hitch. This is why I love linux!

Anyways it's Sunday and I am going to take the day to relax, it was a rough week! Of course though, my brain never shuts off, so I will be doing some reading on Techie stuff, etc LOL.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend. I will see you all tomorrow, and hopefully I can respond to any questions/emails in a timely fashion for the rest of today.

Also, again, Thanks for the feedback, and questions/suggestions you guys have provided so far! It really goes a long way for me to see people interacting and even helping each other on the comments! Our youtube channel now has 67 Subscribers so far! Not bad for under a month of the sites and videos being active (started this on May 15th). I have you guys to Thank for the fast growth of this project, so Thank You!

As always keep sharing our pages, videos, blog, etc. Thanks!
