is a career in cyber security right for me
If you have been contemplating a a Career in Cyber Security, or a Change to Cyber Security, you've probably asked yourself at least once, "Is a Career in Cyber Security right for me?". You're not a lone. In fact, I'd wager to say that if someone hasn't asked themselves this question, then they need to investigate why they haven't before anything else.
The problem is that a lot of people of our nature come to this cross roads out of shear curiosity. "I'm good at computers, should I start Cyber Security?". Something must have inspired you in order to bring yourself to that question. Let me try and help you to decide.
Cyber Security is not as easy as the movies or Youtube videos glorify it. You don't simply enter in an IP address and click a few buttons and own a network; that's not how it works at all. A lot of people who jump into cyber security tend to be rather impatient by nature, and want to "download" every bit of knowledge in the blink of an eye. That's also not how this works, let me explain;
More times than not, you'll find yourself getting nothing but false positives during an active Penetration Test Engagement. That wears quickly on someones Patience, I know that first hand. However, one of the most important skills to have is patience. Because a lack of patience will lead to mistakes, and mistakes cost money. So if you have a short temper and no patience, Cyber Security may not be the best career choice, until you develop those skills.
You have to realize a few things about this career.
1. It takes time to become proficient and professional.
2. Again, Patience is key
3. Get used to long hours, and lots of reading and writing (logs, reports, etc)
4. Did I mention patience???
At PentesterUniversity.org we offer affordable courses that allow students to learn at their own pace, what ever that may be. I have found this is key to less stress in students, allowing them to understand, learn and retain the information easier. So no matter if you sign up for our online school, or choose to self learn, make sure you give yourself enough time to fully understand the information presented to you. Don't burn yourself out trying to learn it all at once.

Cyber Security in 2017
I've been spending a lot of time on sites like www.quora.com answering questions people have about Cyber Security. And I have noticed a few questions seem to keep coming up. So that got me thinking, What's the outlook for Cyber Security Professionals, or aspiring professionals in 2017?
If 2017 is anything like 2016, the future is bright, very bright. In 2016 essentially, everyone and everything got hacked, right? Leaked emails from simple phishing attacks, This site and that site Hacked, this database compromised, that database compromised. User information leaked from here, and there. Old people, young people, military, government, websites, data centers, EVERYTHING WAS COMPROMISED at some point. Kind of crazy, right?
There is a major shortage in skilled Cyber Security / Penetration Tester Professionals. More over, companies, even smaller companies are starting to finally see the light; No matter how big or small they are, they need Network Security, and they need it yesterday.
This works out great for our students in our online school PentesterUniversity.org as they are now in high demand more so than ever before. They know it too! We have seen a massive influx of new enrollments in 2017 so far, and we are very excited to get them going onto one of the Hottest, most Explosive career paths of this decade.
So what does 2017 hold for Cyber Security? Definitely more Job Creation, and Certainly many more major breaches I am sure.

2017 - New Year New You.
Hello Everyone,
2017 is upon us, and with the new year, it got me thinking. You know, many people make silly new year resolutions, like "Lose 10 lbs" "Eat Healthier" "Quit smoking" etc, but rarely does anyone say "Make More Money" or "Change careers to something I am passionate about".
Sadly, most people lack the drive or ambition to keep their resolutions, and they fall by the wayside.
Did you know that Cyber Security Professionals are estimated to make an average of $80-100k+ this year alone?
If 2016 should have Taught us anything at all, it's that Cyber Security professionals are needed now more so than ever before. WE are and will continue to be in high demand for decades to come.
I'm so glad that I finally started the online school www.PentesterUniversity.org and I want to help you get into the trade. So, use promo code "pre10" at check out to save 10% off our already super low course prices.
Are you ready to enter one of the most popular, highly sought after trades? If so be sure to use the promo code above and check us out!
I look forward to seeing you there!
Best Regards,

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.
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!

| 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. |

NetSecNow University!
Hey Guys,
I'm very excited to announce the very first stages of FINALLY opening our online school, dubbed "Pentester University". I've struggled over the last almost year trying to find a suitable platform to host and manage the Online School. Until now!
If you recall about a year ago I sent out a poll to see if any of our user base would be interested in attending our classes, and I was shocked to see the overwhelming support for it!
I've settled on a platform that I feel is very much inline with the schools needs. Focusing on security, ease of use, ease of management, and deployment.
Classes will range in price ($20-$60) per class, or subscription. I'm still debating on what pricing model to use, but I'm more concerned right now with creating content.
Our classes online will very much differ from our Youtube Channel (NetSecNow), in that it will be much more organized, streamlined, and detailed. But you can count on the same style of teaching you've all come to appreciate, and the same level of care, and professionalism with an easy to understand teaching method.
In addition to our Penetration Testing Classes, we will create other classes that students can enroll in, such as Linux Fundamentals, Web Pentesting, Networking Fundamentals, and much more.
The Link (for now) will be HERE, and you can certainly sign up for FREE Account right now. Everyone who signs up for a free account now will get a special discount coupon for the classes!
Once interest grows, and students become active and once content is published, we will be migrating www.learnnetsec.com to be the schools flagship domain.
I'm thinking about running a special, or presale for anyone who follows this blog, so if you are interested please comment below.

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
:-)

Hey Guys,
I've been kicking around the idea to open an online school for a great bit of time now. Youtube works great and all, but we can do much better. More structure, like a real school. Training materials, etc. It would be learn at your own pace, at your leisure. Take as much or as little time as you want.
So, what do you think? How many of you would?
If I were to open up a Online School, that would cost somewhere between $20-$40 USD per month, would you sign up? Vote Here Please: http://twtsurvey.com/netsecschool - Thanks!

Updates
Hey Guys,
I know I haven't made a video in a couple of weeks. I lost a very close family member about 1.5 weeks ago, and it crushed me. But as time is passing, I'm starting to get back to normal.
Prior to that happening, I decided that I was very fed up at my job, and promptly quit. I was hoping to quit anyway to focus more on this project, but perhaps I should have planned better lol. So now, this project, it's growth etc is solely dependent upon donations, to which every single one I appreciate.
I have a few projects in the works, and hopefully able to get at least one of them off the ground. One of which is our very own Online School. I'm very excited about that!
Yesterday I finally released my 1.2 Million Unique Word password list. You can find that HERE if you missed it.
I also appreciate the feedback, and we are growing tremendously, 20,300 Youtube subscribers -- I can't even believe it, so awesome!
Well I won't take up any more of your time, and I appreciate everyone and everything with this project. Enjoy your day and thanks for reading!
Stay Tuned,

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!

We're Back! New Script
Hey Guys,
So, like I mentioned in my latest video, I am indeed back, and I brought presents! I Created a basic script to help in being able to quick launch msfconsole (Metasploit) without having to remember all of the commands and services that are needed each and every time you go to use the framework. Check out our downloads page for a direct link to our sourceforge page.
Please leave me some feed back here or on twitter @LearnNetSec
Enjoy!
