It's not the red team, but it's still fun! I get to work in the SOCs, which is a room away from the main cubicles, with 4 other guys, and all it consists of really is looking at phishing report tickets, malware alerts, exploit alerts, etc. Creating tickets for them, and then for me, I'm getting to learn how to analyze them too. Like today I made the call to not block a site because it wasn't bad and just marketing, while another I got to make the call to block because it was an OBVIOUS phishing attempt with a fake squarespace login page.

So not only do I get to see all kinds of things people might fall for, I also get to analyze and improve my judgement of attacks and get paid for doing all this.

My bosses are really cool too and SUPER lax. They said if I'm being overwhelmed, they can assign me some things to do at home or school instead and count as hours, and also said even if I leave early, that to still mark it down as hours. It's not just because I'm an intern either. All the SOCs are lax and super laidback.

I didn't think I'd like working, but I love it!!!

Also! Next Semester I get to do the red team! The pentester stopped me in the halls today, showed me an exploit he had just found and said I'd be working with him the next semester of the internship=D

TOTALLY WORTH IT!
