Just learned today:
If you are making a bootable disk from a Linux distro using Rufus and it won’t mount, try creating it using the DD option.
Apparently, Linux sometimes only likes its own tools being used on it.

TILFH: Intro to Things I Learned From Hermit
Hi there,
This is Killswitch. I’m a relatively new penetration tester trying to learn the tools of the trade. Hermit has graciously allowed me to post some guest articles from the POV of someone learning cyber security. As a newcomer to the scene, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by all of the knowledge out there in the community. My goal with these posts are to drop in little tips and tricks as I learn them from whatever source I can.
I was lucky enough to find a mentor to point me in the right direction and a community of like-minded individuals that are passionate about security in all forms. These post are my small attempt to give a little something back and try to help anyone that may be looking for a place to start learning. I hope they help.
Happy hacking,
KS
TILFH: Quotes and When to Use Them
One thing that always confuses me when I’m writing Bash scripts is what type of quote to use in a given situation. Luckily, Hermit schooled me with this quick rundown:
“SOMETHING” = This means evaluate what’s between the quotes.
‘SOMETHING’ = This means don’t evaluate what’s between the quotes. This is a literal string.
`SOMETHING`= This means execute the stuff between the quotes and spit out the result. NOTE: These little back quotes are hard to find. Look on the tilde key.
$(SOMETHING) = Same as above.
