Let’s talk passwords – and password cracking. An essential skill for penetration testers, but with limited time available in a security test, we need to work smart. The latest in our series of technical resources for #CyberSecurityAwarenessMonth takes a detailed look at how to use custom wordlists to crack more passwords. Take a read and get cracking. https://lnkd.in/ek5yEPEQ #CyberSecurityTraining #CyberCareers #Pentesting #PenetrationTesting #EthicalHacking

What the hack have we’ve been up to 🤔 Last week we recorded two more episodes of ‘What the Hack’, the new North Green podcast. With so many different journeys into #cyber (some planned, others not) and so many different career pathways, we wanted to explore some personal experiences. Thank you so much Charlotte Smith and Helen Barge for joining us to share you own stories and individual journeys into the cyber space, from inspiration and education to advice and much, much more. We’ll be recording the rest of the episodes in our first mini-series over the coming weeks, so watch this space for more information about how, when and where you can catch all the episodes. And finally, if you are in the Gloucestershire area and looking for a podcast studio, the facilities and technical support in The Lab at Cheltenham Library are fantastic. Book yourself a visit. #CyberPathways #CyberCareers #CyberSecurityTraining #CyberPodacst #ComingSoon CyNam Risk Evolves Gloucestershire Libraries
