As it has been recommended by some of the people I have talked to in Cybersecurity I should be attending more local security/hacker events. So went out to the DC404 meet-up today. Quite a few people were there and talked with some other people who were interested in Cybersecurity as it was their first meeting there as well. Will have to try to make this a regular occurrence as it was a good place to meet like-minded folks.
Sadly I found out that I missed Bsides which was last weekend and was also recommended to me to check out. I feel a bit sad about that but will have to keep track of it better so I can make sure I go next time.

As I go through some of the job listings for CyberSecurity jobs it seems to list Linux on a lot of them. I have a small base of Linux from working on some of the Tryhackme.com rooms but want to see if I can find a book that might give me more details on them. Did a quick Amazon search and found this Linux Basics for Hackers. Should be a good point to learn more.

Talking with a friend and they recommend that I go to some meetups. They showed me over to the DC404 site and looks like they have a meet-up later this month. Will have to see if can attend that one.

Well, have spent the last few months just applying to jobs via LinkedIn, Dice, and Monster. Seems to be a lot of job listings with entry-level but seems like even these jobs require 3-5 years of experience. A high requirement for someone to come in and learn their system.

Started working on another module via Let’s Defend and ran onto another paid block. Seems like some of the coursework is blocked under a higher-paid tier called VIP+. At this point, I already subbed to VIP so I’m not going to bother going any higher and those modules will go…

Started working on another module via Let’s Defend and ran onto another paid block. Seems like some of the coursework is blocked under a higher-paid tier called VIP+.
At this point, I already subbed to VIP so I’m not going to bother going any higher and those modules will go uncompleted.
Sad really.

July 8, 2024 Finished up the Coursera Google Cybersecurity Certificate course. So it gives me access to some of the Google careers sites which might yield some good leads. I also have another credit I can add to the resume.

Well, an interesting day at work today. Seems I got laid off. I wouldn’t say it was unexpected but still a bit of surprise. I had planned for this so should be good but guess I can focus on cybersecurity stuff a bit more.

Decided to start up the Google Cybersecurity Certificate via Coursera. Looks like a brief cyber course where you watch some videos and answer some questions. Go through a few exams and looks like it should take a few weeks.
