Well, T-$(several days) until I start my new job. I am having some doubts about my skillset, and in this post I will try to describe my doubts, the way I intend to tackle them, and maybe a way to boost anyone’s self confidence who is trying to jump from red to blue or vice versa.
NOTE: Sorry for all you English-speakers, this one is mostly meant for the Czech audience. I will be posting a more general post on the same topic soon. In the meantime, Google translate is usable, but there will be terminology that will not fit your situation or legislature. Be advised.

Well, a lot has happened in the last week, and I want to talk about that, at least in part, and also about a topic that has come up in my discussions lately.
Time for the new year’s resolutions! A lot has changed in this year, and I want to summarize my thoughts. This article will probably go into too much detail from time to time, but hey, it’s my blog!
This one will be short, because I have my hobby getting ready.
Well, I guess I’ll put my thoughts on page once again. This time, I’ll do a little rant on my fears and goals regarding my profession and on what is waiting for me in 2024.
One week from now, I will be sweating in a lab. The OSCP, you know the one, 24 hours of ball-wrenching AD and other machines, made just for me. It will be purgatory, and I still feel woefully unready, but I’ll go for it. It’s a hill I wanted to climb for close to ten years now, so it’s only fair that I experience it and don’t chicken out. The failure is imminent, but every day in the labs, I am feeling a little more confident. Every box, every successful pwn is a thing I’m sure to remember.
I am almost through my OSCP lab time. I do not expect to pass on my first try. Why? Simple.
