Be a former computer science major into networking, web dev, and writing windows programs. Was wondering where I can go to find a community of people who are interested in pen testing and cyber security in general. Been to some IRC rooms, but without direction it seems pointless. I've always appreciated the things 4chan has done internet wise, and thanks in advance for your advice /g/
>but without direction it seems pointless.
So you need someone to hold your hand?
Also, if you want "guided" and "purposeful" pentesting do some vulnhub challenges or other capture the flag games.

I wonder why nobody wants to help you, lmao.
Next Saturday something may pop up if i'm unbanned
Thanks anon, I appreciate that! I'll have to look at vulnhub CTF stuff. I'm just very new to the online community portion of programming, so I don't really know how to find groups! Thanks for the advice

FBI welcome!!
The animetard anon wasn't me btw. And no lol not FBI or much of a fan of them right now, but I wouldn't ask for links to stuff like that because I can understand that anyone can be anyone on here. But it means a lot that you guys are posting and helping me out!
What if anon was actually hacked without being able to prove it ?
