Some more free & fed-y training

In my last post, I talked about one of the many websites that provides training in exchange for CEUs. Continuing Education (Units?) are used to renew licenses or certifications, or are just good resume boosters. Oh yeah - and it's free!

There are some similar options that I'd like to share with you today as a follow-up! I'm not certain if these are redeemable for CEUs for your program, but certificates are also available. If the FEMA courses weren't really your vibe, here are some similar counterparts:

Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Virtual Learning Portal has beginner and intermediate classes which take about few hours a piece. some of the topics may be familiar to seasoned practitioners, but introduce concepts a little further than noob level. Great training for those who need to understand larger security concerns, such as those in management positions.

CISA also has a second free training portal called FEDeral Virtual Training Environment with a slew of free courses. 101 Coding for the Public, 101 Reverse Engineering, and Cloud Computing Security are a few of the choices they have available which students may find useful.

The Center for Homeland Defense and Security (CHDS) Naval Postgradude School Self-Study Courses have many courses in homeland security, security, and terrorism. It's real DHS-y if you get what I mean, but the courses are interesting are deserved to be listed.

Next time, I'll share less fed-y sources ;) but maybe you should know what they know, hmm?

2023 Resolutions

Welcome to my New Year's Resolutions! I feel a little vulnerable sharing my goals publicly and auditing if I failed or succeeded over the year. My 2023 Resolutions 1) HACK THE PLANET! 2) Upload to WiGLE every month 3) Post to the blog at least once a month 4) Continue to follow and maintain my vision board. Don't judge me! I thought they were cheesy and weird, but it's been so effective. I made a blog post about it already, but just as a refresher my current board is below. A vision board is almost a resolution list in of itself. These are all the things I want to achieve in the near future. 5) Pass the HAM radio exam 6) Continue in content creation and make articles or a podcast Let's go over what my resolutions where last year: My 2022 Resolutions 1) Make it to 500,000 unique wifi networks I made it in November!

#WardrivingWednesday

I've attempted, with mixed results, to establish a hashtag on Mastodon on Wednesdays for wardriving. Why? Because I feel like it. There are so many awesome people in the wardriving space that could probably do it better, but I'm going to do it instead. I cannot recall where I heard this general rule of thumb, but I believe it was Dragorn who said " For every adapter you can go about 10mph ". I wonder how true that is, and I wonder more how I would begin to test that theory. This is something I'd like to figure out, and will likely need some assistance. I also plan on remaking my rigs with raspberry pi alternatives. Right now there is a lot of drama surrounding raspberry pi, but I'm doing it just because of the cost and supply issues. There are many alternatives now, and I'm sure they'll make a few rigs. I'll keep the updates posted under the hashtag on Wednesday. If you're interested in wardriving you should join the RF Sanctuary Discord.
