Salaam Alikum, I would be lying if I said the past week went smoothly, It didn’t. I haven’t accomplished even the fraction of what I did in the first week , but I can assure this that I haven’t procrastinated and did make progress everyday. Small progress but there wasn’t any day I didn’t study the topics I was assigned. I finished my Advent of Cyber challenges for the day,

My hard drive where my website was hosted started bugging out but I managed to post this anyways, by creating a new site and copying my site from online. I will make sure to push through all these problems and post a highly concentrated blog on Saturday with a lot of notes and rooms completed.

About the actual content that I learnt this week, up till now, it is less then what I should’ve. I did my best but it’s not going to cut it for what I have to achieve, I believe I have momentum towards the right direction , but I must increase the magnitude , do better, be wiser.

I am already seeing progress in some parts of my studies as well, I finished my lab today in an hour, out of 3 hours assigned to the lab, it’s my new personal best. we had to implement a network , but had to subnet it and fill out a 4 page document with various queries and tables. I’ll add the manual to the labs I find interesting in the Cybersec blog of the week .

I Would love to add to the challenge and aim for BlackHat MEA 2025. I want my team to go there, or be in a team that takes a distinguishable position in the event. I’ll keep you posted.

FiAmanAllah!
