Hey everyone, it's been a while since the last posts, I was in a big rush so it was hard to take time to write some stuff, but I'm coming back.

I was working on different pentests these past weeks so it was very different from doing bug hunting.

And I also found my dream flat in Paris, so it's time to move out!

Pentest

It was the first time that I did pentest by myself and not in a company, but it was a really great experience.

It's very different from doing bug hunting as you have a timeline, you need to write a full report and also some bugs not reported on bug bounty should be reported in pentest.

Also having like a schedule was very different for me. I needed to stick with the schedule for 2 weeks and It's been a long time since I did that.

I was getting used to going to workout at any time of the day or taking a rest when I wanted, and this time I was like a worker all day, pretty different.

I will probably continue looking for opportunities in pentest as it's very helpful to pay the bills and it's also very fun as there are usually more bugs than in Bug Bounty.

Getting my new home

My first goal of the year was to find my perfect flat in Paris. With my job, it should have been pretty hard to get one, but I got very lucky.

I started looking for one last week and I visited the first flat which was my dream one, very well located, pretty big and with everything I needed.

But, to me, it was impossible to get it as I'm independent and in France, they don't trust us. But this time, I was very lucky and my file was directly accepted.

So I got the keys this week and I'm currently moving out.

The flat is empty so I need to buy a lot of new stuff like a bed, fridge, oven, stuff like that. Hopefully, I got some juicy bounties this month so it's very helpful.

Now, I just need to make it feel like home and it will be perfect. I need to find good bugs next month to buy a huge TV for that.

And I will come back writing more after when everything will be more chill for me.
