**Celebrating a 100-Day Streak on TryHackMe: A Journey of Hard Work, Challenges, and Growth** Today, I am thrilled to share that I’ve reached a significant milestone: a 100-day streak on TryHackMe! 🎉 Over the past 100 days, I’ve completed 83 rooms and climbed to the top 5% of the TryHackMe community. This journey has been nothing short of transformative, filled with hard work, persistence, and invaluable learning experiences. Finding the time and energy to commit to this streak was not easy. Balancing daily responsibilities with the intense focus required for each room tested my dedication and time-management skills. Yet, the sense of accomplishment and the wealth of knowledge gained made every moment worthwhile. One of the biggest challenges I faced was navigating the PEN testing rooms with learning a lot of new tools in Kali. These rooms demanded a deep understanding of various penetration testing techniques and the intricacies of networking. It was a steep learning curve, but each obstacle only fueled my determination to improve. Alongside these challenges, I also had the opportunity to explore some incredibly fun and engaging rooms like John the Ripper and Hashcat. These experiences were not only enjoyable but also sharpened my skills in password cracking and cryptography. Throughout this journey, I discovered areas where I needed to improve. There were times when I was stuck, and I had to rely on Google searches and walkthroughs to find my way. These moments of struggle taught me the importance of resourcefulness and humility in learning. Reflecting on these 100 days, I realize how much I’ve grown. I’ve learned to identify my weaknesses and turn them into strengths. I’ve embraced challenges as opportunities to learn and pushed myself beyond my comfort zone. This journey has reinforced my passion for cybersecurity and my commitment to continuous improvement. I also want to extend a special thank you to Ryan Patterson for joining me on this journey. Your insights and shared struggles through these rooms have been invaluable. Also, through all the laughs, we accomplished a lot. I enjoyed every confetti screen we shared. 🎊 As I celebrate this milestone, I’m more motivated than ever to keep pushing myself. The world of cybersecurity is vast and ever-evolving, and I am excited to continue my journey, one room at a time. To anyone considering a similar path, I encourage you to take the plunge. Embrace the challenges, enjoy the fun rooms, and never stop learning. #TryHackMe #CyberSecurity #100DayStreak #ContinuousLearning #ChallengeYourself #GrowthMindset

Wrapping up Week 1 at Virtually Testing Foundation, I would say the week was insightful, engaging, intense and educative. From the Group debate presentation to soft skills session, discussions, professional skills and the technical trainings. ✅ Week 1 Updates: 📌 I enjoyed the technical skills session with Joseph Mastromarino from AttackIQ, he taught us how to use the platform to simulate and test attacks following MITRE ATT&CK frameworks and the Top ATT&CK Techniques. Still on Technical Skills, I took courses from the AttackIQ Platform - Foundations of Operationalizing MITRE ATT&CK v13, Application of ATT&CK Navigator, and Top ATT&CK Techniques, at the end of the courses I got badges for each course. ✅ Highlights of what I learnt: TTPs (Tactics, Techniques and Procedures) used by attackers Also, I was able to perform the labs on ATT&CK Navigator, creating layers, risks scoring and more. Using the tool for the first time. I had challenges initially eventually I received guidance when I reached out to my colleagues Abdulazeez M. and Mathias Eleluwor. Thank you! And the last course was quite interesting, learning about the Top ATT&CK Techniques that can be emulated and introduced into cybersecurity strategy at workplaces. 📌 From the persuasion debate session, where each group was asked to present on a topic either for or against, I collaborated with my team members on the project and we were able to scale through. It was quite a technical debate and I’m glad we scaled through. I learnt from the project that success is a collaborative effort. 📌 The soft skill session with Emi O.F was educative and an eye-opener where she talked on taking time for reflection, Reassessing, Celebrating other victories, Collaboration and many more soft skills 📌 My gratitude goes to Virtually Testing Foundation, AttackIQ, my amazing program coordinators Efiong Victor Ita Chisom Vivian Ogbu Blessing Ibe and to my awesome team members Tessa Mmaitsi Ojoajogwu Faruna Mathias Eleluwor for making this journey interesting and worthwhile. #VTFoundation #AttackIQ #cybersecurity #Internship
