Since I mentioned it on twitter, I figured I would mention it here. I accidentally lowered the Mukyu (novice) class at HackingDojo.com to $75 (normal price is $199). I'm not going to be able to modify that price until Monday, so if anyone signs up I will honor the lower price until I fix it next week.

Also, for clarification, the course is still a video-training class and has lifetime access.

So, there it is. If you want to take advantage of my oversight, knock yourself out.

Sounds like a case for the police.

Although I have been accepting bitcoins for a few months now, I recently signed up with BitPay to handle purchases for courses. There are many advantages to this change, especially for the customer, including the instant conversion of USD to BTC, based on current market rates.

Just one more person out to support the project! Let the bitcoins flow!

Turner - I know we talked about this in email, but if you look back, it's after completing the Nidan (2D) that people have the skill set to perform tests professionally.  Just wanted to clear that up.

After the Shodan, they have a solid foundation and understanding of methodology and be able to grab the "low hanging fruit." The Nidan gets them the rest of the way. As for the 3D-5D, those are classes that provide more focuse on certain subjects, but the Shodan + Nidan are the core courses.

Thanks for posting this - I have a lot of students / inquiries that wonder if there are jobs in this field. I think they don't believe me that there are that many opportunities, or they think I sound too Pollyannic.

I've even seen job requests come to the university that say "no experience needed... we will teach them what they need to do" for pentesting. That's amazing, if you ask me.

Anyway, again, thanks for sharing... 3xban is correct, the jobs are out there.

With a math background, have you thought of getting into the data encryption arena? There are need for skilled programmers that need properly integrated / written encryption.

You should be all set up now, and should have received your access information. Please let me know if you have any issues / questions. Thanks!

Not really the point of the thread, but I have a default group of dictionaries I use that contain over 165 million, and that's just the starting list (which would not have found the words you were looking for either). I also screen scrape web sites of clients and find new dictionaries unique to the target, which often yield better results than the default dics.

I will be ending the discounts at the end of this month. Just a heads up. P

All better - click away.

The site is down for a bit - the host provider is migrating some stuff, and dorked up a bit. Should be back up soon.

b4sh -

You're all set. Your access information has been emailed - let me know if you have any questions / issues / etc. Thanks for signing up!

Quick - thanks!  I'll set you up and soon as google finishes its thing.

All fixed now - thanks!

Remember my mantra: "Always be cynical. Use more than one tool for each job."

That said, I would recommend BurpSuite Pro be added to your list.
