Today I have the pleasure of completing another very useful training from #Tryhackme. I can say that I have gained very valuable information about #Kill Chain.

Very refreshing starting again some new courses on LinkedIn Learning. Interesting thing how in very short amount of time they suspended some courses I had on my learning path. No matter I really have fun enjoying and finally finishing some CompTIA stuff. Microsoft Learn was great as usual. Concentrating to finish two paths. One on Windows and another on Azure. Sometimes I wonder what Microsoft Learn will look like in a year or two. Continued also Hack The Box Academy Windows Command Line module which is written absolutely amazing. I have to tell you it is a very big module and covers really a lot of details on WCL. Did also a little bit of TryHackMe. At the moment I am doing Burp Suite room and also trying each day to start and if time allows finish at least one CTF room. Starting with oldest material and going step by step. On TCM Security Academy front I am finishing basic Python part of the EHC. Considering continuing with Python 101 that they have at academy and keep doing Python exercises otherwise if I stop it is going to fade away. So that would be all for today. Please follow, support, repost and do the same so we can reach more people and make this planet a happier place. See you tomorrow. #cybersecurity #tcmsecurity #learning #777dayschallenge #hacktheboxacademy #hackthebox #microsoftlearn #TechHeroes #LearningIsFun #FutureTechLeaders #CyberSecuritySuperhero #pentest #pentestingchallenge #linkedinlearning #hacking #ethicalhacking
