It's All About Resources

Published on 1 September 2024 at 15:27

When I was in Boy Scouts, a wise man once told me that surviving is "All about resources".

I don't think that having good resources is limited to survival.  Civilizations need resources to thrive. Society needs resources to grow.  Individuals need resources to grow and learn.  I believe that given this insight into resources, I've been going about my personal learning into penetration testing wrong.  I have been attempting to learn step-wise by rewriting and summarizing all of my learning resources.  I believe that this has become a waste of time.  I believe that I would be much better served by presenting the original sources of information when I can.  I have learned on my own from these resources, and others may need to learn for themselves from the original resources.  Summarizing the original sources may be doing a disservice to myself (mainly when I need to review) and to others who might need better supporting resources than I can provide. 

That said, my Wiki will now contain original sources of information from wherever I find them and summations of things like online courses, lectures, and school notes.  Please note that I am not trying to plagiarize others' works, I'm just trying to collect the best resources I can find to learn penetration testing for myself and for others that may need help.  I look at my Wiki as a library, it contains works from numerous sources and original content and that is alright.

Let's make the best of the resources available to us, learn, and grow.
