Side loading is not impossible even without jailbreaking your device, as long as you don’t mind “reactivating” the side loaded app every 30 days. There are tools that make it quite easy to do.

As somebody with a degree in bioinformatics, I have never seen something more true in my whole life.
Some more lies from my time in academia:
- “Planning and executing medical trials” = 6 months of statistics
- “Machine Learning” = 6 months of statistics
- “Pattern Recognition” = 6 months of statistics
- “Health Data Science” = 6 months of statistics
- Biostatistics = lol jk just 6 months of statistics

Yes, I have been eyeing a soft switch into cybersecurity. Maybe not head-over-heels and maybe not entirely, but I do plan to have a significant part of my work to be in infosec.
For context, I am currently working as Tech Lead/Software Architect for a company that has a security-focused product (with an, as of today, 0 incident track record), but I work on design and scalability most days. When involved in security-related tasks, I mostly coordinate and sometimes implement security critical code under the guidance of our (small) security team.
I do have enough insight to have a positive impact on security related discussions on higher levels (think “lol, this proposed change opens up the endpoint to being exploited by x or y) but not enough to discuss our cryptographic primitives.
In order to get my feet wet, I started doing THM (quite actively, yet I’ve hit a rut with the Windows-focused buffer overflow rooms), and I can say I enjoy it more than I expected.
However, I am unsure what concrete steps I should take after THM.
I’ve been thinking of working towards the OSCP exam, but honestly the certification landscape is quite confusing.
