Hey together! As the title says I’m looking for the next steps after started hacking. I made some courses, tested tools and learned a bunch of these. I’m working as a Sysadmin and would like to further expend my knowledge. Also im allowed to pentesting our company and found already some basics vulnerabilities. But now I would like to start more and more with spear fishing and custom payload for example AV evasion. Building payloads with empire feels so basics and bit script kiddie like. I’m interested in learning pure skill. So I searched around and the most given tip was, learning C and assembler.

So here is my question: Is this the right next step for going deeper into building payloads, AV/Fireawall Evaision and scripting?

Open any of your ideas und thoughts!
