Security Testing Journal Entry | w/e Friday October 18/25, 2024 - "Doc Doc" Ed.


Highlights for the week

I'm behind on posting. I was too busy last week and this week was uneventful at work. My routine lately is gym > study (1 hr.) > work > study (2 - 3 hrs) > sleep. Obviously time for eating, but my primary focus is CISSP. Not something I wanted, but I'll accept it. 2 months into my Cybersecurity career and I'm already tasked with earning my "black belt" .. epic!

What We’re Grateful For

  1. Grateful for an awesome job with great paycheck and great people.
  2. Grateful for an awesome family.
  3. Grateful for good health.

What We Loved

  1. I love that I get to wake up and have a job to look forward to.

What We Learned

  1. CISSP - need to focus more on the Access Control List nuances, otherwise time is not on my side. Still need to take the mid-term.
  2. Learning that some co-workers are not totally into teaching me the "how" of conducting a pen testing work, especially network. They're good at doing!

What We Longed For

  1. 2 months into my career and I don't feel any smarter than when I started. The task of working through the documentation has been very informative. Calling that my OTJ.

What We Loathed

  1. So far, I'm loathing the feeling of being un-prepared for the work I'm supposed to be doing.
  2. On a personal, I'm hating myself for caving to temptations that I was rid of. I should ignore that little voice that wants a "peak" of the smut. I made it to they gym but I hijacked my sleep. Never again!
