About

   Hey there! During my three-year service in the United States Air Force, I have worked as both Client Systems Technician and System Administrator. My experience in a fast-paced high-security environment made me understand why cybersecurity and system management are essential to me. During my Air Force service, I gained experience with complex IT problem solving as well as secure network management and cyber threat protection of sensitive information. I understand the importance of staying ahead in cyber and data security because I have learned to maintain critical systems and ensure absolute security protocols. I am currently exploring advanced cybersecurity knowledge by studying threat intelligence and ethical hacking techniques to outwit cyber attackers. My professional objective is to move into a specialized cybersecurity position which will enable me to protect digital systems at a higher level. This blog serves as my platform to distribute learned information while documenting my progress and building relationships with fellow cybersecurity enthusiasts. I want to hear your thoughts and start meaningful discussions with you whether you are new to cybersecurity or an experienced professional.

Network Security | Social Engineering & HTTPS

  Modern interconnected operations create a situation where information system security stands as an essential fundamental component. The online storage and transmission of sensitive data expose individuals and organizations to rising cyberattack threats. Information systems require secure confidentiality and integrity and availability protections because they prevent financial losses and reputational damage and privacy violations. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) defines information security as the set of processes which protect digital data against unauthorized access or modification (NIST, 2020). The attacks which take advantage of human behavior along with standard tools are equally dangerous as those that exploit technical vulnerabilities. The "ping" command serves as a primary illustration of misuse. The ping command serves network diagnostic functions, but attackers use it to execute Ping Flood and Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. Attackers lau...

Programming Languages | Scratch

Through the use of Scratch, I was able to get my first real exposure to programming and gain some important understandings of the process and its fundamentals. Scratch is a graphical user interface programming language which uses blocks of codes that can be dragged and connected instead of typing in codes. My project was a simple one, where two cats would converse with the user and provide responses and move around. This exercise helped me grasp the fundamental of programming like loops, conditionals and events. The feedback was almost instant which made testing and debugging easier and thus I got a clearer picture of how the code is executed and how it is linked within the program.   The major thing that I was able to learn from this experience was that every process should be divided into parts or steps in order to make the solution of a problem easier. For instance, I broke down my scratch program into components such as movement, looping and questions. This is very essential in...

Documenting a Day | Application Software

  All types of application software were developed for certain purposes in the field of data processing and presentation.   The main purpose of Word processing software, including Microsoft Word and Google Docs, is to develop, modify and arrange text documents. These applications help the user to organize the written content in a systematic way and also offer the user the ability to make the content more presentable to readers through formatting. Spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets are used in organizing numerical data, performing calculations and presenting the data in forms of charts or graphs to represent the information in a better way. Presentation software including Microsoft PowerPoint and Google Slides assists the user in developing multimedia slideshows that are often used in educational or professional settings.   Database applications like Microsoft Access and MySQL are used in the collection, storage, and retrieval of structured dat...
