My Review of CBTNuggets ICND1 100-105 CCENT Course by Jeremy Cioara!

I chose CBTNuggets to help me study for the CCENT and I am glad.

The lot of users on Reddit and other internet sites really recommend the CBTNuggets video course. So this is what I used to study.

It was totally worth it. Jeremy Cioara has a way of teaching that makes all topics interesting and you dont get bored easily while watching his videos.

He gives a lot of real life examples and the videos have many exercises so that you can do it with him.

He uses real equipment, so if you are using GNS3 and Packet Tracer you will have to have it setup and ready. You should also know how to use these virtual labs.

I chose the video course because reading from a book is very dry for me and I might lose interest.

He covers every topic which is given in the List of topics on the Cisco website.
He also keeps the viewers engaged.

You will have to take a lot of notes (I did this). Thats how you will retain a lot of information and you can see that he actually covers all topics.

Yes, I recommend CBTNuggets, and I am thankful to it for helping me.

Final Year Project

I'm in the final semester of my degree and my project is something I've been thinking about for a while. I want to solve a problem, so I formed a team and now the project we are planning on creating is "DDoS Detection". We want to create an app which detects DDoS attacks and stop them live. I haven't really started doing much, but first thing I want to do is get datasets. I will search online for datasets on DDoS attacks. My mentor mentioned that I could create a virtual network in VirtualBox and simulate different types of attacks with some programs I can find online. That sounds pretty interesting and I'm going to do some research and find out if thats something I can do.   2 of my teammates are also helping me write code, we plan on using Python and a machine learning library, mostly Keras, to train the model and learn patterns. Lets see how it goes.

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...

Is CCNA a good way to get into CyberSecurity?

I passed the CCNA last year and I've seen this question asked a lot. So here's your answer. CCNA has little to do with Security and Security related beginner certifications like the Security+ and the CEH are better for Security related roles. But, to understand a lot of stuff in security you need a thorough understanding of networking concepts. You could just learn all of it for free on the internet, but certifications show a recruiter that you understand it and have been tested. Also, it looks really good on your resume. You will learn networking concepts that will help you when you start concentrating on Security. Topics like OSI layers and protocols, TCP/IP Model, TCP, UDP, IPv4, IPv6, ARP, DHCP, DNS,  MAC, Encryption, SSH, Telnet, FTP, NAT, SNMP, Routing and Switching protocols(OSPF, RIP, BGP etc). You will also learn key concepts in network security and general security like WiFi security protocols, ARP and DHCP attacks, threats, vulnerabilities, port securit...
