People also use PHP to write backend scripts, without web use at all.

While the original and primary purpose may have been for personal home pages, it has evolved considerably since then. Consider an accounting/aggregate billing script for a PHP application that runs on a scheduler. That isn't dependent on the web necessarily, but it does interface with the moving parts of the overall application. Async would be great here.

Agreed. I worked 4-10's before, and I looooved it. It was awesome. I had Wednesdays and weekends off.

Edit: Never mind, clicked on the article, lots of sources!

Is your paper available for reading? I'm very interested in it.

I don't think the poster is even addressing that, they're instead addressing the gate keeping mentality of the poster they replied to.

Would you be willing to talk about how you went about doing this? I do a good amount of fuzzing and would like to expand into fuzzing infra as well.

Well, I think you did a great job. (:

Friendly tip: you should sanitize your inputs / ouput.

Man, I remember thinking that Elixir was going to take the world by storm about 5 years ago. I was so excited for it. I hope it does though, it has a lot of great things going for it, and I'd love to see it adopted.

That makes the most sense, and throws a great seasoning of context on that decision. Thanks for providing that here.

Well, I'm interested and will purchase this.

It's pretty practical so far. Right now I'm just finishing up chapter 4 (HTTP Servers, Routing, and Middleware), so I haven't completed all of it. But as it stands, a lot of what you go through, you reasonably expect you may be able to use on an actual pen test. The real power though, is when you're building out your own tooling with these things.

You just set up a framework in the book, but this is all easily extendable to whatever you want. I'm not the best at Go, so it's a useful "nightly devotion" of time to spend working through it for an hour or so.

I've also been going through Writing an Interpreter in Go, and have picked up the companion to that Writing a Compiler in Go. So far, that's pretty good too, but I'm focusing on Black Hat Go first, to complete it.

Black Hat Go -- Excellent book!

I was looking at this last night. I'm interested in setting up a simple project with it -- so far, it looks the most promising to fill the GUI gap.

I enjoyed the Pentester Academy course, and have recommended it several times.

Thanks for writing this!
