For the people on New Years Resolutions related to studying. Keep at it! I know at times it may feel like you are not improving but I promise you that you are. It's very difficult to measure progress in this field, which makes motivation tough (1/5) If you're like me, you've set a goal of weight loss before and it was pretty easy to stick with it at the start when you're shedding water weight like crazy but when your method of measuring progress stops working, motivation becomes hard to come by (2/5)

Inspired by @TinkerSec, I'll tweet out a "hack job" I recently did. I rarely pentest companies, I've always been a blue teamer. The pentest gigs I do are generally favors to other blue team friends to teach them. My rate was $50/h which is much lower than what I typically charge. A friend wants to test their user's Phishing, I walk her through what my campaign is. First I gather all the names I can then generate emails based upon it. I use a 3rd party "People Finder" service to build a database of their personal emails.
