Ethical Hacking Assignment - getting root from an IP/Site
https://www.reddit.com/r/Pentesting/comments/1kxknz5/ethical_hacking_assignment_getting_root_from_an/

<!-- SC_OFF -->Hi, I am a 4th semester of computer sciences right now and I'm working on my final project, which is getting root access of a site/ip using kali linux, we've attempted to use gobuster and metasploit, however, both methods are considered brute forcing and it simply isn't effective based on our deadline which is in a few days. The system we're trying to take root over uses linux so eternalbblue wouldn't work as well. Any tips on what method we should use. The goal here is to use kali to get the root access of server3.pentest.id (http://server3.pentest.id/) (this is a fake site that my lecturer gave us}. Also we found the vulnerable ports that are open already, there are 2 to be exact. So i guess we need to utilize those open ports. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/Seraphims-Monody (https://www.reddit.com/user/Seraphims-Monody)

Windows Defender E5 auto remediation problem
https://www.reddit.com/r/Pentesting/comments/1kxj48o/windows_defender_e5_auto_remediation_problem/

<!-- SC_OFF -->During a pentest, the windows test account was found by Defender and later disabled. It seems it also added the account to 2 windows user policy settings - "Deny access to this computer from the network" and "Deny logon through Remote Desktop Services" on each item that was accessed. I don't see any group policy that has this setting added and the local policy has it but is greyed out and I am unable to remove it. Any ideas? Just need to remove it so we can continue testing or if real-world, get the user back to normal access again. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/Successful_Way_3663 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Successful_Way_3663)

Is it possible to be a red teamer with superior degree?
https://www.reddit.com/r/redteamsec/comments/1kxh5p8/is_it_possible_to_be_a_red_teamer_with_superior/

<!-- SC_OFF -->Im finishing a higher degree of web applications development, but ive noticed that I like too much the cibersecurity area. So I did some research, and red teamer seems to fit the best with what im interested in. But the thing is, do i have real spectations to find a job there without a university degree? I could do my best to get the needed certifications (if my budget allows it), but would it be enough? And if it actually is, could i make it to the top? Im just genuinely asking from ignorance, so i will appreciate constructive answers. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/Informal-Command-714 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Informal-Command-714)

Misinterpreted: What Penetration Test Reports Actually Mean
https://www.reddit.com/r/Pentesting/comments/1kxow9n/misinterpreted_what_penetration_test_reports/

<!-- SC_OFF -->Hey everyone, our blog post this month post discusses pentest reports and how the various audiences that consume them sometimes misinterpret what they mean. We cover why findings in a report are not a sign of failure, why "clean" reports aren't always good news, and why it may not be necessary to fix every single identified vulnerability. The post concludes with a few takeaways about how the information in a pentest report helps inform the reader about the report subject's security posture. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/IncludeSec (https://www.reddit.com/user/IncludeSec)
