Any beginner friendly course on Web Penetration testing?

Shubham Kumar — Sat, 21 May 2022 17:48:56 +0000

Hello friends,

I'm working as frontend developer from last 2.5years, interested to get into ethical hacking but I have no idea where to get started with little research came to know about Penetration testing, which I thought would be best for me as I also have knowledge of frontend stuffs.

Currently I'm doing ZTM Web security & bug bounty course from Udemy but it's just 10hr & they had touched just basics of tools etc. It's good course but I'm in search of more in-depth knowledge of this field.

From carrer perspective I want to work as FrontEnd Developer only but I want to lean about Penetration testing to participate in bug bounty programs.

Any beginner courses or a roadmap some one can recommend to become a successful pen tester? Assuming I have no knowledge related of this field.

How do I get started to work as web3 developer?

Shubham Kumar — Mon, 09 May 2022 03:25:15 +0000

What all I need to learn & any courses if some can suggest?
I already have working knowledge of React.js. How much time can it take to learn techs related to web3?
What are differences in salary for a web3 developer & normal frontend developer?

Any other suggestions which I need to know before getting started?

Will it be good idea to use Incremental Static Regeneration if data from backend is user specific?

Shubham Kumar — Sat, 29 Jan 2022 13:39:31 +0000

I have a challenge page where in public view (No user is logged In) backend will send say list if [A,B,C] challenges.
While if user is logged in & he is admin then backend will send some additional challenges like [A,B,C, 1 ,2]. So in this case will it be good idea to use Incremental Static Regeneration? Or shall I only use GetServerSideProps?

I'm also using SWR in components & passing passing the values of GetServerSideProps as default value

Is this the correct way to use useSWR with getServerSideProps?

Shubham Kumar — Wed, 26 Jan 2022 08:18:17 +0000

This is the code sandbox example of how I'm using SWR with getServerSideProps: https://codesandbox.io/s/useswr-with-getserversideprops-nextjs-9u1gp?file=/containers/PostContainer/index.js

github repo link
What I want to achieve is on the post/[post] page the meta tags will be dynamic coming from the backend & will be users specific that's why I'm using getServerSideProps instead of getStaticProps, the above code is working fine but when I see the terminal on clicking a post it's calling the API 3 times & when I again click the same post API is being called 2 times is this normal behaviour?

How do I handle auth in this case?

Shubham Kumar — Fri, 24 Dec 2021 06:12:23 +0000

From the backend, I'm getting a URL for Google login which looks something like this: 'https://somewebsite.com/api/v1/auth/login/google clicking on this opens google login page & after login, it returns access_token.
I was thinking to use the NextAuth library for it https://next-auth.js.org/providers/google but it requires client_id & client_secret also which is not required in my case (it's being handled in the backend).
How do I handle this login using NextAuth or any other bettor method someone can suggest?

How much increment should I expect after 1yr in startup?

Shubham Kumar — Sun, 19 Dec 2021 03:51:55 +0000

I have overall 2yrs of experience as frontend dev I'm about to finish 1yr in my current startup company. How much percent increment should I expect in my monthly pay?

Is there any way to show gitlab contribution in github?

Shubham Kumar — Thu, 21 Jan 2021 18:12:12 +0000

I recently switched company where they are using gitlab instead of github & I'm contributing to project with company's email id to gitlab.
Now in future when my work will be done I'll loose access to project & I think there will no way to see that I had contributed to some project.
And since I'm contributing in gitlab my github contribution chart started to show as blank.

So I there any way I can show contribution of gitlab on GitHub?

Or any other better idea?
