Studying For The CCNA (ICND2)

I just cleared my ICND1. So it is time to finally get my CCNA.

I'm going to follow the same method of studying I did for the CCENT.

1. CBT Nuggets

I trust Jeremy Cioara to keep me motivated throughout the whole course. I am going to continue studying with CBTNuggets. If I think I need some other video course, I will buy the David Bombal course on Udemy.

2. Official Cert Guide by Wendell Odom

 The OCG for the ICND1 was absolutely amazing. There is so much information that you'll get lost in it. I am going to continue with this book as I need the knowledge.

3. Boson Ex-sim

This was the reason I passed the CCENT. I am going to buy the exma for the CCNA too. I love their explanations and it will give me a real exam experience and I can judge myself when I take their exams.

Hopefully, I get CCNA certified before December. That is the GOAL. I want to complete the certification before my semester exams in college. 

Thanks for reading!

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.

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...
