Due to the Sunk Cost Fallacy, it’s often emotionally easier to continue down a rabbit hole rather than just move on to a different attack vector, even if it causes us more pain and sufferance than the alternative.
What can we do about it? The following method works for me on many levels; we can apply it to machines on a network, to services on a machine, or to directories on a web application.

Another new idea for #PenetrationTesting and #Bug-hunting:

Tester:
Enhance the force of #vulnerabilities by doing things like
I discovered a free #URL that leads somewhere else.
Put this in my report and move on ?
To the contrary, changing the #payload allowed me to transform it into a reflected #XSS #vulnerability. Is this the final question?
Obviously not if I have any hope of carrying on.
This web app used #JWT tokens that were transmitted in the bearer header, and for some reason, there were three more cookies that also contained this token.
Only two of them were secure with #HTTP Only.
Just a wild guess.

I did this one before. But since we're making #30daysofthreads a great opportunity for folks to learn gems going into 2020, I figured I bring this one back!

With that being said, I will list 10 books to get started you in #hacking & #penetrationtesting

“Penetration Testing" by
@GeorgiaWeidman
- 1 of the top books you must read if you're new to hacking or reviewing. Some material is dated but it is still a great book (Georgia is working on a new version. Don't bother her about it!) -

@georgiaweidman “Linux Basics for Hackers” by OccupyTheWeb

This book is great for those learning or working w/ Linux. It explains how to install Kali & what services are installed & what they're used for. This book also explains how to create scripts in BASH & Python

The @BBFC #AgeVerification "Certificate Standard" has been published.

This is the document which is being proffered to protect the facts & details of _YOUR_ online #Porn viewing. Let's read it together!

What could possibly go wrong?

@BBFC Well, that was fast:

"this is the foundation of the non-statutory, voluntary age-verification certification scheme (the Scheme)"

"Only age-verification providers that meet the requirements of the Standard…will receive certification"

What happens to the ones that don't?
@BBFC [ Incidentally, I am going through this in real time with a mug of coffee, so there may be some jumping back and forth. Don't expect perfection. ]
