This is a thread about technological things I misjudged during my career. Maybe it'll help someone. (Or maybe I misjudge again?)

- I started gera's challenges, but "why bother with client-side?"

https://github.com/gerasdf/InsecureProgramming.git

- During university, seeing Meterpreter's shortcomings I considered to start developing a professional implant. But "no security boundaries, no fun".

Now look at all teh frameworks...

- Gave up on chemistry because of an idiot teacher

@buherator I have this ingrained thing that still makes me consider client-side bugs as not worthy… despite abundant practical evidence of the contrary 🤷‍♂️

@buherator when I graduated from high school, I gave up on chemistry because I saw no path forward with that in my homeland... turns out I was right. still saddens me somewhat, as I wasn't half bad with it.

@infosecdj That's weird, I'd think chemistry is so widely applicable that there's always need for it. I guess it's not true for every subfield?

@buherator petrochem and mineral fertilizers are the two things most developed back there, and I found none of them interesting. not to mention the jobs weren't really paying nearly enough for anything.
