Day 78 & 79💃 I decided to do a joint post today since I didn't finish my network forensics lab with Wireshark yesterday. The lab tested me😭 Still with my digital forensics, I learnt common windows artifacts as well as LNK & Prefetch files and Jump Lists. #100DaysOfCyberSecurity

Day 77💃 Again, today with my FortiEMS. I deployed my FortiClient agents, configured my SMTP server, sent invitations & set up security profiles. SMTP server didn't work out, so I ended up manually installing the client on my end points. I'll take the W😭 #100DaysOfCyberSecurity

Day 73💃 ‘What is the difference between a vulnerability, a threat & a risk?’ Someone asked me this today & I knew the answer, I just couldn’t articulate it & put it into words. So I decided to go through my ‘beginner’ notes & I should do this more often. #100DaysOfCyberSecurity

Day 72💃 I was advised to try HackTheBox so I opened an account today & did two sherlock labs. Threat Intel(Research on Salt Typhoon, focusing on their tactics, techniques & procedures) & DFIR(brute-force analysis with Unix logs). Pleasantly surprised tbh! #100DaysOfCyberSecurity

Day 71💃 Posting was the least of my worries yesterday😭 I did a vulnerability mgmt course and my day was going well till I tried a CTF lab (& I still haven't figured it out). CTF humbles me normally, but this is a lot. My head aches but I'm trying again. #100DaysOfCyberSecurity

Day 70💃 I wanted to do something a little less technical today so I focused on mapping out my Splunk roadmap. I explored learning resources, materials etc looking for the ones that match the way I assimilate. I’m very open to suggestions please helppp!! #100DaysOfCyberSecurity

Day 64💃 Another day to embark on one of those missions that nobody sent me. Reconciled with my shayla (packet tracer) today for a mini project for TechCity. Time consuming but I have just RIPv2 left but I might flip it and do OSPF instead, thoughts?? #100DaysOfCyberSecurity

Day 60💃 Another day with me and my Fortigate firewall. Tbh, not sure what to do atp. The WAN-LAN policy still isn't working. Went over my notes again, watched videos and nothing points to what I might've done wrong because the LAN - WAN works🥲 L day fr. #100DaysOfCyberSecurity
