A random day in the life of an Offensive Security Student Admin

00:00 - 00:05 So he starts demanding help and tells me he's having difficulties

00:05 - 00:07 with hacking a machine in the labs

00:07 - 00:10 i take a deep breath, trying to think

00:11 - 00:16 how i can help him without giving up too much information

00:17 - 00:21 And then he tells me "I tried everything"....

00:21 - 00:24 EVERYTHING

00:29 - 00:31 can you imagine?

00:31 - 00:34 I was trying my hardest not to pee in my pants...

00:38 - 00:40 ....everything....

00:41 - 00:47 so i asked him "have you tried bruteforcing? Maybe that will give you some access"

00:47 - 00:50 So he tells me he attached a 3 TB storage with a huge password list

00:50 - 00:56 and has been bruteforcing for 5 days now..

00:58 - 00:59 And all this time,

00:59 - 01:01 I can hear muts saying

01:04 - 01:06 in the back of my head...

01:06 - 01:08 "ASK HIM IF HE HAS TRIED HARDER".

01:13 - 01:14 And i think to myself

01:14 - 01:16 I better not say that

01:16 - 01:20 Otherwise he'll get pissed off...

01:21 - 01:27 But by now i've peed in my pants a little....

01:35 - 01:36 Can you imagine

01:36 - 01:39 the poor guy bruteforcing for 5 days

01:41 - 01:44 So, i figure, i have to help him

01:44 - 01:47 I need to give him some good advice

01:47 - 01:49 how do i give him motivation

01:50 - 01:53 so i tell him...

01:54 - 01:56 so i tell him...

01:56 - 01:58 look...

01:58 - 02:02 if i were you, i would take some time, relax...

02:05 - 02:07 and TRY HARDER...

02:10 - 02:11 i actually said...

02:11 - 02:13 i actually said it

02:15 - 02:17 and i get a salary for it!

02:17 - 02:20 can you imagine, that i get paid...

02:21 - 02:28 for telling people to try harder!

02:29 - 02:30 What did he say?

02:30 - 02:32 he said....

02:36 - 02:39 I think he started crying

02:40 - 02:42 He said "Ok, i'll try harder".

02:50 - 02:55 It's like that every day, we get 10-20 people like that

02:56 - 02:58 So you like your job?

02:58 - 03:04 Yes, but i had to replace my office chair 4 times now
