My mood flips week on week really. Some weeks I love my job and it's the most fun anyone could possibly have while getting paid. Then other weeks it's repetitive and dull and has no real career ladder!

I find that most people have the technical knowledge already and just don't understand how to apply it in a security context. Once you get into the mind frame it's easy!
 
but its how to apply what knowledge i already have and knowing what gaps i need to fill in with research and asking questions.
 
As mentioned earlier, is it not possible to firewall 21/tcp to a specific IP address?

Edit: Or change ftp to run on a non default port?

I was the same tbh, whilst I was in my last job I was just looking at moving on as prospects at the company were not great and the location was awful for me.

Got a bit fed up with all the red tape I had there as well (I was an in house tester), had to do a lot of naff admin stuff.

But now I'm not doing the job I do miss it :p

and there passwords are audidted they just got lucky

That's naive, if the passwords are any good then nobody gets lucky. You need to review your complexity requirements urgently if they 'got lucky' on a password you thought was secure.

10 Characters minimum, caps and numbers mandatory, at least basic complexity checking. You don't get lucky on that.
 
oo never played around with linux might have a go with it weve got pretty much every type of microsoft server at work and one or 2 linux ones but never been envolved with the linux ones


but surely any password will be cracked if you leave the right program running long enough theres a finite combination of combinations you can have of the letters a-z and 0-9 even if you use caps
 
Given the right amount of time yes, but that's why you have other measures in place such as account lockouts, regular password changes, logging/alerting to a number of failed attempts etc.
