Posts about how I learn, and a daily log of what I study.
I went from "why is /21 255.255.248.0?" to splitting networks on paper in one day. The trick was not memorizing a table. It was asking a lot of small "why" questions, and rebuilding my practice tool three times until it taught the way I learn.
I finished the Network Refresher section, watched real traffic from my own PC in Wireshark to prove each idea, built two practice games to learn the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model and subnetting, and set up my Kali Linux VM (Virtual Machine) for the rest of the course.
Signed up for TCM Security's PEH (Practical Ethical Hacking) course and got through the intro videos. Mostly a welcome, what the job is really like, and tips for taking good notes.
