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?

Goal Setting: Creating a vision board

Hey y'all! I know I've missed my 2022 resolution to post once a month on the blog. It's something I think about frequently. I have been pouring my efforts into other areas of my life and haven't set enough time to create content or write blog posts. I've recently been reinvigorated after coming back from GrrCON 2022. Not only was GrrCON so much fun, I presented a pretty good talk: Hey Ma' Where's Malware Come From? It'll have it's own blog post once all the content is ready. If you want to follow along, make your own vision board for free here . I have a lot on my plate of tasks I don't attend to; things I want to do and things I need to do. I decided to help me clarify my goals and give myself some good mile markers via a vision board. Here's what the board means to me: (from left to right) Fox: I want to strive to do my best a work and position myself for future career growth and opportunities. I value where I work and want to be a helpf

#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.

My next talk: Come see me at CactusCon 2023!

Your smartphone is your best friend and worst enemy. Are you being listened to? Do you want to listen to someone else? This apps on your phone know more about you than you think, and there are more tools to make you cringe. Yes and no, “they are listening.” The apps are gathering so much information it seems like they are listening. This talk will discuss what privacy concerns you should have with your smartphone and will discuss how you can use your smartphone to do some surveillance of your own.
