  • #66 The #1 Thing That Makes Pentesting Fun (Not Stressful) ft. Trent Miller
    Oct 8 2025

    In this episode of The Hacker’s Cache, I sit down with penetration tester and security researcher Trent Miller (AzureAD) to talk about the one thing that makes pentesting fun instead of stressful: genuine friendships and community. We discuss how learning from other hackers, sharing experiences, and joining groups like DEF CON DC608 can accelerate your growth far beyond certifications or labs. Trent opens up about work-life balance, avoiding burnout, and the value of teaching what you learn, while I share my own perspective on grinding, AI in cybersecurity, and lessons from real client engagements. Whether you’re an aspiring pentester or already working in offensive security, this conversation reveals practical insights and a fresh way to look at learning in cybersecurity.
