SOFTWARE/HARDWARE SKILLS

Hello, in this post I will be sharing my current IT skills and experiences.


My interest in computing started at an early age and I was fortunate to have a laptop at home when I was just six years old. I quickly became familiar with Microsoft Word and Excel, and even experimented with PowerPoint, although at that time, computer-based presentations were not widely used in my country.


When I was 13, I watched some tutorials on YouTube on how to hack Wi-Fi passwords and managed to obtain my school's Wi-Fi password and iPad restriction code. Unfortunately, this resulted in a controversial situation where I was recognized for my technical abilities but also punished for being unethical and causing the school financial loss.


At 14, I started learning JavaScript and Python but had to focus on my high school final exams and didn't work on many projects. By the time I was 17, I created my first website using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I also got a domain name and hosted the website. I am proficient in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python, and have worked with frameworks like ReactJS, NodeJS, and Django. I have some knowledge of databases, including MySQL and MongoDB.


In 2022, I focused more on cybersecurity and networking, using software such as Kali Linux, Cisco Packet Tracer, and Microsoft Azure, among others. Although I have not used any specific cybersecurity hardware, I am aware that we will be using hardware such as Raspberry Pi and dongles during our penetration testing module. We will also be working with software like Linux, Ubuntu, Wireshark, Azure, Kubernetes, and more.


These tools will be particularly helpful in our cybersecurity activities, as many tasks are performed on the command line, and Linux is a preferred platform for this purpose. Additionally, Azure will be useful in our secure coding sessions, as it will provide hands-on experience with secure coding and vulnerability libraries.

INTRODUCTION POST

Source: https://dm0qx8t0i9gc9.cloudfront.net/thumbnails/video/H8WuRINimqur8ud/introduction-word-intro-word-intro_bxbepgas_thumbnail-1080_01.png  Hello, in this post I will introduce my degree, Cyber Security BSc (Hons), and the university I am studying at, DMU. I chose DMU because it was the top school among five universities that offer cybersecurity at a bachelor’s level. I also liked the diversity of DMU, which has a high percentage of international students. DMU has been great so far. The computing tutors are helpful and understanding to everyone. My degree consists of three years of study, with four modules each year. The first-year modules are Foundation of Computing and Cyber Security, Endpoint Security, Secure Coding, and Business Infrastructure and Security. The second-year modules are Secure Scripting and Business Applications, Incident Response and Cyber Threat Intelligence, Penetration Testing, and Industrial Cryptography. The third-year modules are Malware and Attacker ...

INITIAL IDEA 1 - ENDPOINT SECURITY

Source: https://www.42gears.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/featured.jpg What is Endpoint Security? My initial idea pertains to endpoint security, which is an essential module in my cybersecurity path. Endpoint security is a cybersecurity approach used to defend endpoints such as desktops, laptops, and mobile devices from malicious activities (Crowdstrike, n.d.). According to Crowdstrike, a top endpoint security company, protecting endpoints is crucial in cybersecurity, from small businesses to large corporations. Why Secure Your Endpoints? The Ponemon Institute conducted a study that found 68% of organizations have experienced one or more endpoint attacks that successfully compromised data and/or their IT infrastructure (Expert Insights, 2021). Endpoints provide a large attack surface, and implementing endpoint security solutions can help reduce those attack surfaces. While it's impossible to completely eliminate cyberattacks, reducing the possibilities or chances of an attack occu...
