Reckless Pancake

That's an amazing first step and thank you for responding, but I was looking at something a bit more long term. If its easy to code that's a great but that might be too easy. I mainly work with python, so could something like a buffer overflow attack work? Or could a port scanner and then a auto exploit tool be a good idea?

I recently joined a coding group and our first task is to create a project for ourselves and to code said project over the span of 2 months or so. I can't really think of any cool projects that I'm interested in. The group wants this project to be something that would sharpen our skills for further use. I'm interested in the cyber security/ pen testing field and I can't think of any long term projects for me to work on. The deadline is coming up soon so any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks!

I have $75 to spend I want to know what hardware or software should I buy to help me on my to become a successful penetration tester? (Rubber Ducky, LAN Turtle, etc.)
