What Cyber Role Should I Pursue If...?
I'm going to school right now and learning cybersecurity. I haven't chosen my electives yet to focus on a specific area. So I was wondering what you guys think is the best role to pursue in cybersecurity if my goal is to have the highest likelihood chance of getting a job quickly and most easily.
I'm really interested in pentesting like most people, but I just want to secure my first cyber job as easily as possible and then worry about transitioning into different things later.
Another thing is, I would really like to work remotely eventually if that is possible.

How to keep multiple hard-drives isolated?
I have one SSD with operating system installed. I use this drive for all my personal and banking related stuff. I keep this drive clean and free from viruses.
I also have another SSD with operating system installed on it aswell. I want to keep this drive isolated since I do alot of testing and running potentially malicious softwares without having to worry about compromising my main hard drive.
Though if I have both these SSD plugged in and select which one to boot from. Is it possible for anything malicious to leak from one drive to the other drive even though I am not using the other drive while both are plugged in?
If so, what is the best way to keep seperate hard drives isolated from each other?

General Bytes Bitcoin ATMs Hacked via Zero-Day Attack
General Bytes Bitcoin ATMs Hacked via Zero-Day AttackPost Views: 24 Premium Contenthttps://www.blackhatethicalhacking.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Patreon.png Subscribe to Patreon to watch this episode.
Reading Time: 3 Minutes Hackers Used Zero-Day Vulnerability to Steal CryptocurrencyBitcoin ATM manufacturer General Bytes recently disclosed that its management platform was exploited by hackers, resulting in the theft of cryptocurrency from the company and its customers. The attackers used a zero-day vulnerability in the BATM management platform to steal funds from Bitcoin ATMs that allow users to buy or sell over 40 different cryptocurrencies.
According to General Bytes, the attackers remotely uploaded a Java application via the ATM’s master service interface and ran it with “batm” user privileges. This enabled them to perform several actions, including accessing the database, reading and decrypting API keys, sending funds from hot wallets, downloading user names and password hashes, and turning off 2FA.
On March 17-18th, 2023, GENERAL BYTES experienced a security incident.
We released a statement urging customers to take immediate action to protect their personal information.

The company has urged its customers to take immediate action and install the latest updates to protect their servers and funds from attackers. General Bytes also provided a list of cryptocurrency addresses used by the hacker during the attack, which shows that the attacker began stealing cryptocurrency from Bitcoin ATM servers on March 17th, with the attacker’s Bitcoin address receiving 56.28570959 BTC, worth approximately $1,589,000, and 21.79436191 Ethereum, worth roughly $39,000.
See Also: So you want to be a hacker? Offensive Security, Bug Bounty Courses General Bytes to Shutter Cloud Service Due to Security ConcernsGeneral Bytes has announced that it will shutter its cloud service, stating that it is “theoretically (and practically) impossible” to secure it from bad actors when it must simultaneously provide access to multiple operators. The company will provide support with data migration to those who would like to install their own standalone Crypto Application Server (CAS), which should now be placed behind a firewall and VPN.
To address the exploited vulnerability, General Byte has released a CAS security fix provided in two patches, 20221118.48 and 20230120.44. The company plans to conduct numerous security audits of its products by multiple companies in a short period to discover and fix other potential flaws before bad actors find them.
However, this is not the first time that General Bytes has faced security incidents. In August 2022, the company experienced a security breach where hackers exploited a zero-day vulnerability in its ATM servers to steal cryptocurrency from its customers. Additionally, researchers from the Kraken cryptocurrency exchange found multiple vulnerabilities in General Bytes’ ATMs in 2021, which the company quickly fixed.
Trending: A primer on OS Command Injection Attacks Trending: Offensive Security Tool: Bypass Url Parser Multiple security audits, but none of them found the exploited vulnerabilityDespite undergoing multiple security audits since 2021, none identified the exploited vulnerability that led to this recent attack. General Bytes’ experience highlights the importance of regularly testing and auditing the security of any software or hardware used in financial transactions. This also underscores the importance of swift action and up[...]
