What are OWASP TOP 10 and mention any 3 of them? How did u esclate privs when encountering perimeter testing? M365 password spraying and M365 sweeper Dont tell u know/use their tools before from github and they are not interested Not any red team related questions and most are general pentest questions. Prepare most pentest questions and expect this is not red team role (maybe 10% u are supposed to do red teaming) They only use cobalt strike and not using other C2s like Night Hawk, Covenant but they're mentioned in their Job Description. (they expects u to use that LOL). One guy from Optiv presented "During the talk, he's using Silver C2 from public github repo and telling the audience he can bypass EDR/AV mostly with Silver C2" at the conference.
