Ask a Penetration Tester Anything

[Howl]

Could someone learn and progress to a penetration tester by being employed on a support level for a company like Symantec, Eset or Sophos?

Yes, I am aware.
Typically I'm not one for explaining myself, or even for pointing out where other people have failed, but here it is:

If someone goes to the effort of registering to reply to a question you have, you might do them the solid, of replying with something other than a monosyllabic grunt.

You were interested in training and certifications in order to get a decent job no?

I responded the way I did to see if you could step up and have a conversation, because I am on the hunt for someone interested in learning in order to groom them into an analyst role.

You don't fit the bill in'nt, bruv.

I believe so. One of the juniors at the company I work for started off as IT support and progressed to becoming a pentester for the same company. He does not have OSCP but he does have MCITP and Comptia Security+ but he wants to do OSCP soon though.

Awesome stuff.
