Alas, it was rust

One of those haiku generators just gave me this, which I found a little on the nose: Icey wintertime /
A free, advertising run /
betrayed by the joy

Any tips on insomnia? I have trouble falling and staying asleep. I was up till 4am last night and 3am the night before and here I am wide awake again (and i’m not on my phone the whole time, i’ll pick it up after a couple hours bc I’m so bored). It doesn’t help that my husband can literally fall asleep in seconds and snores so loud. He is even sleeping in the guest room tonight bc I have an impt meeting in morning but I still can’t fall asleep. Even took a melatonin a couple hours ago. Help!!!

Let’s say I want to get into pentesting and CEH - where would you advise starting if my experience is minimal? I know my way around things but not much scripting or too heavy network experience. Downloaded Kali on a VM to get some tools, but let’s say you could advise me of a training course/package to start with - what would it be, and from where? My current job is going to let us pick something, and while my answer would be to go to DEFCON 😂 that’s obviously not gonna happen this year.

What would you qualify as differences between different levels of strategy leaders? Between director, group director and VP - what are the expectations, value and responsibilities that define progression between these roles?
