Udemy has a recent sale (which they always do) on courses so I wanted to look a bit at AWS and found a course from Dion Training (one of my favs) on it. So I get to learn more about AWS as even cloud-based systems need security as well.

Finished up the Splunk Course and I will say it was quite informative. I will have to look into getting the Core User cert in the future but need a bit more employment to make that happen.

As I have seen Splunk mention in quite a few job descriptions I decided to pick up a Udemy course related to it. I wanted to get a bit more detail on how it is used to process and search data. So will be going through this course soon enough.

As things are slow, might now post as much but still working on my projects and VMs on the side. I need to add more stuff to my GitHub as well as it still has only one project listed up of the various items I have completed.

Still on the job hunt as far as Cybersecurity roles, and not many roles seem to be hiring around this time of year. I guess that is a bit normal for the end of the year. Sadly seems like more people are getting laid off in the tech sector. Since there is an upcoming election and most people don’t know how the office will shake out it might also be a reason depending on additional business costs that might come.

Working more with some of the TryHackMe site stuff. I like to go back as they tend to add new things to the sight over time and even update the courses with new materials. I have noticed that have gone back and added some new lessons to some of the modules that I have previously completed. A good time to review them.

Been working through the Linux Basic book, it has been pretty fun. As it says it is a basic of Linux so it starts with simple commands and basic Linux structure. This is good though as it is good to have a basis to build on. Linux also seems to be a necessary part of learning when it comes to cybersecurity. So going to finish this up and see where it goes.
The Linux Basics for Hackers book that I ordered came in. Time to up skill my Linux knowledge.

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.
