Consistency > motivation.

Daily focus:
• Python (SOC) — 45 min
• Linux & Bash — 45 min
• Networking — 3 hrs

Goal: build strong foundations for SOC work.

No shortcuts. Just daily execution.

Most accounts aren’t “hacked.”
Access is handed over.

Fake login pages.
Cloned sites.
“Verify your account” messages.

Once creds are entered, the attacker logs in like a normal user.

No exploit. Just trust abused.

Many beginners try to learn every AWS service.
That’s unnecessary and overwhelming.

Master the fundamentals first:
• Compute
• Storage
• Networking
• IAM

Once you truly understand these, every other AWS service starts to make sense.

Barcodes aren’t random numbers.

They’re structured data for machines.

If a system reads it, trusts it, or automates around it
it can be exploited.

Security starts with understanding structure, not symbols.

Alerts trigger on behavior, not tools.

Mimic real admins:
• PowerShell during business hours
• Use normal admin tools
• Consistent logon times
• Avoid full subnet scans

Best stealth?
Behave like you belong.

Free alternatives nobody mentions:

Notion → Obsidian (faster, offline)
Grammarly → LanguageTool (open source)
Calendly → Cal.com (you own the data)
Loom → Vimeo Record (cleaner)
Linktree → Beacons (more features)

Same function
Less popular
Often better

Try the underdog

Most people don’t know that projects count as “work experience”. Some good projects ideas:

🔹 A portfolio site with real content
🔹 A tool that solves problem you have
🔹 A clone of a known app, with a twist
🔹 Open source contributions
🔹 A clear before/after project story

I’ve used Kali Linux for a while, so installing Ubuntu seemed easy. I failed twice rushing caused mistakes. After slowing down, setting RAM, network, and architecture properly, I finally got it working. Patience + hands-on practice = mastery.

Windows doesn’t forget file activity.

Opening a file updates artefacts like recent files, shortcuts, and registry entries. Even if the file is deleted, traces often remain.

Tails OS isn’t just another Linux distro.
It’s a security-first operating system.

Runs from a live USB, operates fully in RAM, leaves no traces after shutdown, and forces all traffic through Tor.

In security, your OS is part of your threat model.

Fun fact 🤯
macOS doesn’t have a direct Cut option for files like Windows.
Solution:
1️⃣ Cmd + C (copy)
2️⃣ Go to destination
3️⃣ Option + Cmd + V → Moves the file (acts like cut)
Apple just hid it behind shortcuts 🍎😄
