Welcome to Pentester Diaries, a new podcast series that shines a light on the – not so secret, somewhat anonymized, and at times glamorized life of offensive security professionals. In this series, we will gather pentesters from across the globe to learn more about who they are, what is top of mind for them, how they approach pentesting, and much more. Pentesting isn’t just about finding cool bugs and hackers aren’t just these black hoodies that the media presents. It’s about understanding applications, continuous learning, leveraging the right tools and techniques, as well as collaborating and growing with others. So let’s take off the hacker hoodie and have a real conversation about this growing profession.
