Studying for the CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker)

Hey there!

I got the CCNA last year and the CEH was the next step in my mindmap. I completed the CCNA December of 2019 and got caught up with college for a while.

I started studying for the CEH around March 2020.

Here are the resources and methods I'm using: 

1. Matt Walker All-in-One for CEH 

I bought the CEH All in One guide from Matt Walker and I've been studying from that. The book was recommended by a lot of people on Reddit and other forums.

2. Matt Walker CEH Practice Exams

I bought this book too and intend to use it and solve a lot of questions so I get as much practice as I can.

3. Boson Exams

I had a really good experience with Boson practice exams during the CCNA studies and I'm going to stick with them for the CEH also. Boson played a huge role when I passed the CCNA and hopefully it can do the same for CEH.

4. Practice on the actual thing

As I actually want to learn using the tools I'm practicing the tools and methods using a Kali VM and HTB. I started doing the easy boxes on HTB. 


Due to the Coronavirus I've been at home like everybody else and planned on using all the time to work on my skills and study harder but I lost focus for a while and I have been watching a lot of movies and TV shows and spending a lot of time doing that. 

But I will start giving more time to my career goals and start working towards them.

Hopefully I pass the CEH and learn a lot!

Thanks for reading!

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...
