👨🏽💻| I write about Tech, SOC workflows, SIEM alerts, threat analysis, and incident response so you can think like a blue-team analyst.
- 𝗗𝗮𝘆 12 | 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁 (𝗦𝗢𝗖 | 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴) Networks don’t just connect devices. They define scope and reach. • LAN = local office/home • WAN = wide-area connections • MAN = city-level networks • PAN = personal device networks I’m comparing types daily. Context > complexity.
- These YouTube channels make learning cybersecurity stupid easy: 1️⃣ NetworkChuck 2️⃣ David Bombal 3️⃣ John Hammond 4️⃣ The Cyber Mentor 5️⃣ Professor Messer
- 𝗗𝗲𝗯𝘂𝗴 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻 ~ 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 𝗛𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 Debugged Apache on Ubuntu (ARM64). Problem? Not Apache. • Network / IPv6 conflict → apt couldn’t reach ports.ubuntu.com • Solution: force IPv4, clean update & install ✅ Reminder: software rarely fails alone. The network underneath matters.
- Always learning. Always debugging. 💡🐧
- Programming Languages & Their Best Code Editor 🧠✨ 🔹 Python ➜ PyCharm 🔹 C++ ➜ VS Code 🔹 JavaScript ➜ VS Code 🔹 Java ➜ IntelliJ IDEA 🔹 C# ➜ Visual Studio 🔹 TypeScript ➜ VS Code 🔹 Ruby ➜ RubyMine 🔹 Kotlin ➜ IntelliJ IDEA 🔹 Go (Golang) ➜ GoLand 🔹 PHP ➜ PhpStorm 🔹 Lua ➜ VS Code 🔹 Swift ➜ Xcode
- 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 ~ 𝗨𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 Accidentally granted a user access to all shared folders. ⚠️ Caught it while testing permissions. Corrected it to proper user + access rights. ✅ Lesson: Experiment in VMs first. Critical commands on Linux are safe to test, and mistakes become learning opportunitie
- 𝗗𝗮𝘆 11 | 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁 (𝗦𝗢𝗖 | 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴) Topology doesn’t just shape networks. It shapes troubleshooting. • Learn star, mesh, bus, ring layouts • Understand pros and cons for performance & security • Visualize how traffic flows • Predict bottlenecks before they happen
- I’m mapping diagrams step by step. Clarity > memorization.
- Linux navigation essentials 1️⃣ cd moves you between folders 2️⃣ pwd shows your current location 3️⃣ ls lists files and directories 4️⃣ cd .. goes up one level 5️⃣ cd ~ returns to home Master these and moving around is easy. Which one did you use first?
- 𝗗𝗮𝘆 10 | 𝗪𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁 (𝗦𝗢𝗖 | 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴) Packets don’t lie. They tell stories if you listen. • Capture network traffic • Read TCP handshakes • Filter relevant packets • Identify anomalies and threats I’m dissecting traffic step by step. Observation > assumption.
- 𝗗𝗮𝘆 9 | 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 & 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁 (𝗦𝗢𝗖 | 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴) Ports don’t just allow traffic. They reveal intent. • TCP vs UDP differences • Common ports (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SSH, DNS, SMTP) • Analyze connections for unusual behavior • Map traffic patterns to services
- I’m logging common vs suspicious ports. Patterns > memorization.
- 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁 (𝗦𝗢𝗖 | 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴) Tools don’t explain traffic. They visualize it. • Learn how packets move • Understand IPs before alerts • Know ports before assumptions • Read logs before dashboards I’m learning this step by step. Clarity comes before confidence.
- Consistency > motivation.
