How I Plan On Studying For CCENT/ICND1

This is show I plan on studying for the first part of the CCNA R&S exam.

MATERIALS:

1. CBT Nuggets

I am going to be using Jeremy Cioara's CCENT course on CBT Nuggets. These videos have been recommended by a lot of people and this is the first thing I'm going to do.

2. Books

I have the Official Cert Guide by Odom and this is going to be the main book I'm going to use.

I also have Todd Lammle's CCENT book as a PDF. I might use this as reference for some topics.

3. Labs

I am using Packet Tracer and GNS3. I cannot afford a hardware lab, so I'm going to be using a Virtual Lab.

STUDY PLAN:

First Step:

I'm going to go through the CBT Nuggets videos and make a lot of notes from them.

Second Step:

Packet Tracer and GNS3 Labs with the videos.

Third Step:

Use the books and study the whole portion to perfect it.

Fourth Step:

Practice questions using 1001 CCNA questions book and other sources.

Thanks for reading!

I wrote a Password Wordlist Generator in Python

As I am getting experience and writing simple programs in Python, I wanted to write a "hacking" related program. Not too hard, but not too simple. PasswordListGenerator I think I got the idea from watching a Mr Robot episode, Elliot creates a wordlist for cracking passwords. This gave me an idea and I thought I would do this! So I searched for similar programs to see if something like this existed and I found CUPP and BEWGor. These are absolutely beautiful. They are well written and provide many operations and options for creating a wordlist. I took the idea of how these programs worked to create the wordlist and applied my version to do the same. Yes, it is not an original idea, but it is my implementation. I have to agree, the best way to get better at a programming language is to do a project. I posted a small GIF showing how the program works on Reddit and it got a good amount of reactions. Turns out, people actually give great advice and mot...

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...

Best Reddit Subreddits for Cybersecurity and Hacking!

Reddit is a very useful website for discussions about everything. For cybersecurity and hacking too, it has useful subreddits, in which, you will learn a lot of things you previously had no knowledge of. So, I have compiled a list of security related subreddits. 1. Active and Most helpful subreddits: /r/netsec /r/AskNetsec /r/netsecstudents These three are pretty much it. They have very active communities and are very helpful. I, personally use /r/netsecstudents a lot because I'm still in the process of learning and that subreddit(if you look properly) will tell you how to make a career in every security field. 2. Security Certification Subreddits: r/CompTIA (for Security+) r/ccna (for CCNA and CCNA Security, also r/ccnp for CCNP) r/CEH (for CEH) r/cissp (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) r/oscp (Offensive Security Certified Professional) Really helpful if you're doing any of these Certs. 3. Other...
