2022-02-18 13:39:18 Six tips for landing an entry-level Cybersecurity Job

Side Projects: One of the best ways to get experience in the field is to do side projects. You can take courses that will teach you how to build software tools, write computer scripts, give you experience using security software, and many other things that you can put on your resume as legitimate experience. This will provide employers more confidence that you know what you're doing, increasing your chances of getting a job.

Internships/Volunteering: Unpaid experience is just as valuable as paid experience, so take any opportunities you can do to internships or volunteer work to build your resume up. This can be at school, church, non-profits, etc. Also, any tech or cybersecurity experience you can get is valuable, whether sysadmin work, tech support, fixing laptops, etc. Early in your career, you don't want to be picky with the type of work. Something is always better than nothing.

Use Referrals: If possible, you don't want to go through the front door when applying for jobs. If you can get a referral from inside or outside the company, you should use that. This can be personal referrals like family, friends, or acquaintances, but you can also leverage things like your school's career support center or your school's professors. They may have connections inside a company and can give you a referral that significantly increases your chances.

Apply for post-graduate positions: One of the issues I mentioned earlier is competition for jobs. One way to reduce this is to apply for post-graduate employment, where you can only qualify if you graduate from school within a certain period. This limits the number of people you will compete against and ensures that your competition won't have much experience. In addition, many private companies and government positions offer post-graduate work opportunities, and you should target those as someone with not much work experience.

Get your resume professionally written: Your resume is the first thing an employer will see, and you want to make a great first impression. Investing a few hundred dollars in getting a professional resume can make a huge difference in its quality. Also, you want to customize your resume and cover letter (which you should write every time) for each opportunity you are applying for. Do not spam out your resume to multiple offers because that is not likely to get you an interview.

Do Interview Prep: When you do get that call or email for a meeting, you want to make sure that you are in an excellent position to get the job. The preparation includes doing things like mock to help you prepare for the question you can expect and ensuring that you are answering in a way that will present you in the best possible light. You can also research the most common information security questions to know what you will be asked beforehand and have good answers prepared. Open / Comment

Weevely has more than 30 modules built in, so there's a lot to work with here. For example, file_lsdoes exactly what you'd think, and file_cp might let you copy a file as long as you have worked out yourfrom and to paths just like on a local system. You might be able to grab a whole lot at once withfile_tar, then use cp to have a lot of reading.

There are ways to elevate your rights from within Weevely, so if you have elevated rights on the server, you can do basically everything with it. You might be able to get a few clues on your target system withaudit_password. Just remember to stay on the down-low here, to both save yourself time and effort if you're messing with your own system, and to remain quiet if on other systems. Open / Comment

2016-12-31 23:37:07 Nothing shows at the bottom of my info.php file, which is what we want.

What we want to do is open weevely.py on our system again, only this time we're not going to create a file with it—we're going to use it to target the place we put the script that we already created. On my localhost server, with my file, this means:

./weevely.py http://localhost/info.php pazzWurD

If you're not testing this out with localhost, it'd be something more like: Open / Comment

2016-12-31 23:36:08 Access Your Backdoor

The first thing about Weevely that you may notice is that your backdoor.php file running in the web directory, or on the tail end of some other PHP file, doesn't do or show anything in your web browser. That's good! Were this showing up on a site, it would be discovered right away and patched, or possibly exploited by someone else, and we don't want that. Open / Comment

2016-12-31 23:35:55 Any way you do it, you want to get yourbackdoor.php file—or the contents of your PHP file—into some other PHP file, on some local or remote server. Once you've done that, it's time to call on it. Open / Comment
