Not even sure which portfolio thing to start first lol. Finally have Net+ and Sec+

BowTiedCyber's avatar

Take a look at my example portfolio! They're all in the stack!

I will forgot it was there- also using Josh Madakors YouTube examples gonna pop an azure Active Directory piece out and likely a file integrity checker tool, and then a power shell -

BowTiedCyber's avatar

This is beautiful. I want to put powershell into the stack sometime soon!

Lukus-Alexei Leonard's avatar

Yea the coding stuff is something I struggle with a bit. Madakor is the person who actually got me to get my hands dirty with building Vnets, Vnics, and remoting into dual stacked VMS and running domain controllers and did my first pcap and analysis with his guidance. He’s the reason I fell in love with Azure!

Have you gone through the python in the stack? It's pretty cut and dry!

Lukus-Alexei Leonard's avatar

I have a MacBook w 8gb ram can I not use this when running Linux ?

You can try running a small VM with parallels and see how it holds up

Risk of used laptop being hacked by seller? Or the same case with used USB drives?

BowTiedCyber's avatar

Possible but extremely unlikely. Most laptops for sale on craigslist are old dudes or kids selling their old college laptops. Buy UBSs new and load a new OS when you get the device. If someone were to try and hack your laptop after selling it to you, they'd do so by adding malicious files after wiping Windows, hoping you just set it up like normal without putting your own OS first.

It's the same kind of risk that there could be malicious Chinese firmware on a device too, but the likelihood of that is extremely low.

We can use Ubuntu for all the stack right? Or it has to be Linux?

BowTiedCyber's avatar

Ubuntu is Linux fam. Ubuntu and Kali is all you need.

Just quit the Coursera course to jump on here with you all! I could really use a mentor to help with coding and want to learn as much as possible. My hope leave at least as much as I take from the group.
