Re: A little direction for those wanting to move into pentesting
I think that means being able to recognize functions and operations of any network related technology as belonging to a particular layer. This can allow you to exclude both certain assets and attacking techniques, and implement safeguards on all layers. The modular approach offered by the OSI model works just as well for… -
Re: Medical IT / Medical Coding good mix for IT skills?
What are you studying? Moonchild's posts are interesting and I highly doubt it's a "tr011" post. The reason to their issue is "uncertainty", they are overly cautious of every situation. He's in better shoes than some people I know (at least he's got the M.Ed/BS CIS and is employed). I know some people in way worse of a… -
Re: 17 years of desktop support experience -- a cautionary tale of being only satisfied
buttons, First of all, thank you for sharing this introspective view... and thanks to others that have posted solid advice. I am someone who may be more akin to the folks that you mentored and continued progressing. There is much to learn from each situation. For me, I started off very similar to you... very young, and… -
Re: Hell yeah!! Passed on 6th April 2016
I wish I could help but I went back and checked official book and study guide I really couldnt find any section related to the questions I had about cloud and identity (I am not saying I am 100% sure because I am also lazy to read the entire book again :)) For those who are wondering which sources I used Books Sybex 7th --… -
PASSED This Morning! Here's how I prepared in under 5 weeks..
Sorry for the wall of text - I wanted to be through and give back to the community after it helped me! First of all, thanks to all those that provided great information on this forum. The links and recommendations have been invaluable. I wanted to pass on my experiences so that others can gain the same valuable insights… -
Re: Finally figured it out...future endeavor(s) Linux Sys/Net Admin
Thanks for the shout out! Like you said, the whole community rocks here -- I'm just trying to add to it what I can. There's definitely a market for Linux admins that know their way around a network, but it's getting rarer as smaller shops start off in the cloud, and by the time they're ready to build out a data center,… -
Re: Got a (verbal) job offer today! (Information Security)
I just sent back the offer letter today so I feel comfortable disclosing some more information about my experience. I applied for this job on the 17th, and I only met about 50% of the requirements. I sent them an AWESOME cover letter though, probably the best I've ever written. Totally customized for the position and I… -
Re: WGU Students - How Many CU's per term?
I did 75 credits in 1 term and it will be my only term. I already have a 4 year degree from a brick and mortar in Marketing and I already had A+, Network+, and Security+. On top of it I had dabbled for months in everything from assembly and debugging to studying for the CISSP. I also already had some light study in… -
Re: How did you work your way up to high end I.T jobs.
Old thread, but I thought that I would throw something out there. My first job I got hired because my uncle was the sales/branch manager for a consulting company; they needed someone to start their web portfolio and I had been making web pages since I was 14. I made $25k at 18. I didn't do much web work, but I did get… -
Re: Problem with Motivation...
Bottom Line Up Front: You can do it! If you care to read the rest ... Since you chose Network/Systems as a major, isn't this an area of interest? I've been burned out before. I may burn out again. What matters is that you maintain the ability to re-ignite that spark. :) Well, after dropping out of college twice, and…
