Am a professional pentester/red teamer. You hit the nail on the head.
Pentesting is not all about the shit you can hack. A big part of it is presenting a professional face that suits can trust.
That is fundamentally incompatible with compulsively attacking and leaking billions of dollars worth of shit
His career in white hat cybersecurity is shot to fuck. No one will trust him enough after this
An 18 yo isn't gonna get fat stacks of green as a pentester.
The suits that decide salaries have different priorities. Like certs that are out of the price range of a teenager and years of professional experience.
This kid deserves a 7-8 digits salary as a pentester, not prison; plenty of pentesting companies would hire him in a heartbeat.
You're forgetting a vitally important part of being a pentester.
Namely that they need to be trusted not to leak billions of dollars worth of trade secrets.
This kid is a prodigy as a black hat, but he'd be an embarrassment as a pentester.
I think the talking to women thing is an example of the low brow, easy-to-sell adverts they put out. It don't sound to me like a course they wanna pick up.
You obviously won't be able to take the exam or say you're certified in any way but you can go over the materials at your leisure
And that's fine. VLC does their own implementation of codecs so that's not an issue. It's the patents that make it an issue.
IIRC the main DXVK dev does this for debugging purposes.
As to why it might be faster, it depends on the DX implementation and what it's being transformed into. If the original DX implementation, especially pre-DX12, is wasteful in terms of instructions, and DXVK knows of a better way to do the exact same thing in Vulkan, it can potentially offset the translation costs.
The main use case of this is in porting. So if someone wanted to make a native port of their game, this library would make it potentially much easier.
I mean with Cheeto-man the jokes just write themselves
If that really was their end game, they'd just use bots. Much more effective that way.
Bruh, it's a bit much to be buying a whole ass new handset for.
