T.G.I.F

Published by:

It’s almost Friday and I am looking forward to finishing up the build of my OSCP lab so I can continue with my studies at Udemy.com.  Because my WGU assignment (drafting a Cyber Defense Report) was due this week, I spent most of my time trying to get the final draft completed and submitted before weeks end.  So excuse the absence and lack of posting.

It’s been a while since my last post I know.  I’ve been so busy with school and work that it’s not even funny.  It’s like everyone is trying to cram everything on me at the last minute (something that I am vert used too) and  since it’s December,  times that by two.

During my time away I started doing a lot of cyber surfing and my interest have been gravitating toward malware analysis for some reason.  I went out and got a couple of books to get me going.  My wife thinks I’m a geek like that  :).  I don’t know, I could use the .pdf versions of the books but I kind of prefer softcover copies when I do my studying.  PDF files are good on my kindle and IPad/IPhone when I am traveling.

Well it’s time to gather my things and finish up with the lab build out.  I’ll be sure to take notes and document it all to share here.     Later..

Preparing for OSCP

Published by:

Thanks for coming to my website.   There’s not much here at the moment but in time the content and people will come.  My purpose of this site is to LiveJournal my journey to OSCP.  How does this relate to the PMP?  Simple, everything relates to Project Management.   My personal belief is that every endeavour  in life is a project.  Whether you are getting the kids ready for school to preparing to undertake an MBA in Cybersecurity.  Project management is involved in every aspect of our lives.

Granted, the OSCP is by no means a requirement for my current job position or the like,  I just want to prove to myself that I am more than capable to obtain this particular Security Certification and that my abilities are in line with the industry standards for Ethical Hacking.  I currently hold the following security certifications (CISSP, CEH, CHFI, Security+, CCNA Security, CCNP, CWNA, and  CWDP) as well as other certs in case you were wondering.

I believe I have a diverse enough background to pull off my preparations for the OSCP.  However, I’m going to start from ground zero and work my way up. It should be fun and also stressful at the same time.  There will be a lot of reading involved and late nights at the computer.  If you have the time, you should come back next week and  I’ll have posted what my game plan is to prepare for the OSCP (books, online course, labs etc.) course/exam.
