Goals For 2019

Ahhh yes, I haven't posted for a long time. Four months to be exact.
This was because I got caught up with college. It was the first semester, and I really didn't do a lot. I got completely hooked into other stuff.
I have to change that. I did try and learn more, but it wasn't really productive or frequent enough to actually learn.


For 2019, I have made up my mind. I have to plan ahead and finish these plans. I have to make up some time for my Career. So I made goals.

GOALS FOR 2019:

1. CCNA, GNS3

 I have to get my CCNA. This is my main goal. This is the certification which is going to start my InfoSec career.

2. Advanced Programming in C, PYTHON, JAVASCRIPT.

This is where I start using code to build and start using Git. I need to start contributing to projects and improve my knowledge in programming.

Also, I have to learn PHP/React.js. And get my web app skill to the next level.

3. START USING LINUX, BASH

Linux FTW. I've installed Linux Mint instead of Windows. I'm ready to learn and start using Linux as my daily driver. :)


I have these things in the center of my mind. I have written this down everywhere.
I have to do these.
These are my resolutions for 2019.

2019 is going to be the first major year in my career.



Regards,

AZID

I gave my first talk at a Security Conference

Last month I gave a fun little talk called "Plenty of Phish in the Sea" in my local security conference. It was a fun presentation on how I phished my friends in high school.  I used to make music back in high school and sent a phishing link to 3 of my best friends to my "Soundcloud" and asked them to sign in through their email. I had created a fake domain that copied the Soundcloud login page but the form to submit username and password had a php script that sent the credentials to a txt file I had on the server.  My friends had weird passwords of course, one guy had his girlfriends name, another had his favourite sport mentioned, and another friend literally had his whole phone number as his password.  I made jokes about it and kept the whole tone of the presentation humorous.   This talk wasn't very technical, but it was my first time and this was an actual experience. Hopefully, next time my talk is a technical one, where I teach the audience something I le...

I got a Job as a Security Engineer!

Long time since I wrote a blog post, but things happened. I graduated from University with a degree in Information Science. I interned in 3 different companies since getting certified in CEH and CCNA. I also did huge projects in the final year of college. I had around 200 applications over 2 months and 7 interviews. After being rejected and ghosted numerous times I got a few interviews. 5 of which didn't go so well. Either I wasn't qualified or they didn't think I had enough experience. Fortunately,  the last 2 interviews went extremely well and I got a job offer from BOTH companies! Company 1 is a big Networking company where I where the job was being a part of the Incident Response team and Company 2 is mid-size education software provider. Company 2 had 1 other security person, and I would be person 2, which would have been a great opportunity to learn and grow with. I took a few days and talked to a bunch of people in my family and even posted on Reddit to get advice on...
