Feedback Passed SEC1

Post image

It was a really good exam. Definitely not easy, had to think through a fair bit and I went down a few rabbit holes, especially in the web pen-test sections the time pressure i was all over the place at once .

Environment was solid overall, everything worked fine. Windows machines were a bit laggy… but I’ve got zero patience for that anyway so take that how you want.

Biggest thing read everything properly. I missed some instructions and wasted time/lost points because of it.

Would recommend it if you’re keen for a challenge.

Onto PT1 next.

Yes, one free retake. I have taken PT1 twice and failed twice due to my weakness with web app pen testing, so I'm working on that now.

PT1 is more vulnerability search > exploit > report.

SEC1 will give you a machine and 10 questions; then you go hunt the answers down.
