Or would it be best to actually be within the lan network to do so? I've forward most major ports to the iphone to hopefully see if theres an exploit someone currently knows for iphone.

-- Which is more important, a good NIC or good SATA controller

-- Is onboard SATA 1 sufficient

-- What is the performance gain of aggregated gigabit Broadcom NICs to hosts with Intel adapters

-- Do jumbo frames pay off for having to segment the network

-- Which network sharing protocol gives the best results in a mostly-NIX environment

I'll be using surplus server hardware from Rackable Systems and FreeBSD-CURRENT for its zfs/raidz support.

I'm pulling these from a hexdump, so these strings might either have extra crap at the end, or be zero-filled up to 12 bytes.  In the dump they're aligned.

My money's on a modified base64, which would turn these into 8 octets.  However, base64 has two punctuation characters, whereas these have three ('.', '!', and '*').

Your thoughts?

I'm trying to pursue a career as a pentester.  I was just wondering if anyone had any solid advice on gathering pentesting experience?  I already have a home pentesting lab and I already have my Ethical Hacker certification.  

I just wanted to hear what you guys think.  It is frustrating because employers have such unreasable expectations when it comes to pentesting experience.

Sort of derped and didn't realize sales closed on the 1st.

Anyone interested in reselling two tickets?

It creates a list() starting with one int(), it then counts in base-n untill it figures out the password (when it has to do a carry, it just expands the list)

Basicly, i was just wondering wether this is the way it's "usually" done.

chars = list('qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnmm')

passwd = []
chars_length = len(chars) - 1
test_passwd = 'abcde'
passwd = [0]

def getPass(attempt):
    global chars
    ret = ''
    for char in attempt:
        ret += chars[char]
    return ret

while True:

    passwd[0] += 1

    i = 0
    for char in passwd:
        if char == chars_length:
            passwd[i] = -1
            try:
                passwd[i+1] += 1
            except IndexError:
                passwd.append(0)
                passwd[i+1] += 1
                print(str( len(passwd) )+'\n'+getPass(passwd)+'\n===================')
        i += 1

    if getPass(passwd) == test_passwd:
        print('\nFOUND IT!!!\ngetPass( passwd ) == "{}"\n\t=> True'.format(test_passwd))
        break

I attatched the script as a *.txt
