30 Days of Cybersecurity Challenge

Why Am I Doing This?

I wanted to come up with some sort of challenge for myself that would let me a.) add projects to my resume and b.) add to this blog.

The Challenge

The challenge is simple. As best as I can with the limited time I have every day, I want to find something to either learn or do related to infosec and cybersecurity. Every day once I’ve finished the task I set for myself, I’ll write up that days’ blog post. I don’t want to limit myself in terms of projects/topics but some things that have come to mind while brainstorming this are:

1. HTB machines
2. Programming projects (that are small enough to complete with the time I have)
3. HTB Academy articles (where I’d write up a blog post on what I learned, trying to not just be a summary)

The programming projects can be anything from learning about writing malware, security tools, etc. This list doesn’t encompass everything but I’m sure it covers a lot of things I could do.

I also want to make sure that I’m not just doing things I’m comfortable with. I want to push myself to learn new things and get out of my comfort zone. Hopefully I’m able to do that.

Because I work full time and have two kids, I may miss a day. I will absolutely try not to so that I can keep to the spirit of the challenge but give me some grace here.

What Next?

Look for the articles tagged with 30 days of cyber. Posts should also start with a “Day…” title and can be found using that.
