hacking: security in practice
Payloads in Word/PDF documents: Is this still a thing?

I read about this being used to hack computers recently. Are most computers still vulnerable to this?

Payload=malicious file that could potentially create a backdoor that runs in the document when you enable macros (most people are not cognizant of this possibility).

An article I read tested this successfully on a Windows machine running Outlook that defaulted to Adobe to read the PDF.

I noticed in GMail that docs and PDFs aren't opened on the computer, but read in a window. Does this prevent payload execution?

Anyways, I'd like to know if this is still a thing and why? Why can't Adobe or Microsoft build their applications to not allow this?

hacking: security in practice
How do I track someones location live?

Hypothetically, if I knew someone's current address, full name, dob etc. would there be a way of me seeing where they are constantly, through like GPS or something on their phone? Or even looking at them through security cameras? If so how would I do it? Just wondering

In need of some help please. I’m 37 and have developed a keen interest in pentesting. I’ve tried reading, online and video courses but can’t seem to understand the details. Would I be able to pay someone to see how a pen test is done? Like shadow someone remotely?
