How is everyone? I’m new here to the forum and I would like to connect with my fellow tech obsessed aspies. I’m currently working through the CPTS path on HTB Academy.

Marquinn, Welcome to Wrong Planet.

First off, I hate acronyms. According to my acronym translator.

HTB Certified Penetration Testing Specialist (HTB CPTS) is a highly hands-on certification that assesses the candidates’ penetration testing skills. HTB Certified Penetration Testing Specialist certification holders will possess technical competency in the ethical hacking and penetration testing domains at an intermediate level. They will be able to spot security issues and identify avenues of exploitation that may not be immediately apparent from searching for CVEs or known exploit PoCs. They can also think outside the box, chain multiple vulnerabilities to showcase maximum impact, and actionably help organizations remediate vulnerabilities through commercial-grade pentesting reports.

I guess that fits a skill traits for a tech obsessed Aspie.

Welcome to WP! I hope you like it here.

But I think you will consider me to be something of a dinosaur: CISSP(Ret).

Like I said, I’m still working on earning the cert. I don’t have it yet. Currently training for it. But I’m psyched to get through it.

It sounds like you choose a good career path, one that you have special unique skills for. You definitely need to think outside the box to perform this type of work. So believe in yourself and your unique skills.
