Interview with a PRO user — Robert Kluger

Tell me a bit more about yourself? Current occupation? Aspirations? Twitter?

I’m Robert Kugler (@robertchrk), a 22 year-old penetration tester & technical project manager at Cobalt. I started learning web & application security at the age of 14, two years later I got my first CVE issued for a vulnerability in Firefox.

How did you come across PentesterLab PRO?

Cobalt introduced me to PentesterLab PRO and I had a lot of fun going through some of the exercises.

What have been your favourite exercises so far?

I really liked the serialize badge and especially the API to shell challenge was a lot of fun. Every penetration tester should be familiar with serialization vulnerabilities and this makes it one of the most important badges to earn.

Can you tell me more about Cobalt and how PentesterLab helps you training your new researchers?

At Cobalt, we have built a best in class Pen Testing as a Service (PTSaaS) platform which provides on-demand pen testing by connecting you to top security researchers around the world. Our researchers get access to PentesterLab to make sure they’ve access to one of the best information security education services. Working in information security requires a constant drive to learn otherwise you won’t be able to stay ahead of the game that’s why we’re using PentesterLab!
