Can you make a video on building a c2 profile?

[@Zulunator]

Hey out of context I know, I really need your opinion. Currently considering getting into Cyber Security via TAFE. This will be from scratch Cert IV > ADV Diploma > Bachelors > Masters. The reason for going this route is due to career patch change from commerce also coupled with the Uni fees being too steep. I will also be doing a lot of self research/teaching. What are your thoughts on this?

[@JSONSEC]

I dont think a masters is necessary, let alone a Bachelors. I've been thinking of doing a video about "Why not to go to Uni" Because most of the core material you need to be successful in a role can be taught online for far cheaper than Uni / Tafe and you'd be more capable.

@@JSONSEC Correct! Did three years of Uni in the field and honestly wasn't valuable in terms of knowledge or getting a job. The only real learning was through online labs and courses.

Hello, any tips about the C2 profile customization on the exam? It seems the Malleable C2 section of the course seems not in depth about that topic when it is one of the crucial tool on the exam.

My biggest tip is: do the labs with windows defender enabled, if you only pratice with windows defender disabled you will have a hard time

[@JSONSEC]

Agreed, maybe first round without defender so you can learn the principals without obstruction, then enable for your 2nd round

[@brunom12111]

@@JSONSEC I agree 100%. The first time is nice to do without defender to understand how the tools and TTPs work, then it's better to enable to learn how it will be in a real life environment and the problems you may face trying to evade defense

@@brunom12111 hey man, am willing to take the CRTO course, can you answer my question please, as someone who doesnt have experience can recommend it for me, if i practice with defender enabled is it going to be easy for me in the exam ? i mean looking at the modules in CRTO i mean its not something weird for me as i was reading a lot of blogs posts and stuff but didnt practice before, can CRTO Labs be enough for the preperation ? and what is the hardest thing you encoutered in this course? thanks.

Are youg going to do the crto level 2 !!! ????

[@JSONSEC]

Eventually

[@alikhalil6463]

Is it possible to get all the flags without using cobalt strike?

[@JSONSEC]

I guess it would be possible, but you cant load in any external tools, so good luck i guess? The course is focused on CS though, so silly not to use it

[@sscoconut1265]

Is there an instruction on the exam where and how to know the location of the flag?

[@JSONSEC]

Yep, it's pretty straight forward and all info given to you

[@unsigned.]

Hello, I just want to ask. Is this certification for beginners or intermediate?

[@JSONSEC]

It's a relatively easy course for an intermediate level

[@unsigned.]

@@JSONSEC Thank you so much!

[@bugbounty5870]

How many machine you cracked and how much it took for you?

[@JSONSEC]

I did 6 flags in one day. Was going to return to it but never did

[@nicholssexton5426]

Keep grinding pal. You should look into using a service such as Promo sm!!

[@JSONSEC]

Thanks mate, I had a look at PromoSM, looks like it violates the KZbin terms of service, but thank you for your suggestion!
