If you have a computer with a dual core processor and at least 4GB of ram, you can. It does take patience, but if you can virtualize and got internet, there really isn't much you can't practice with a laptop. It's why I want to see it more in inner city schools, it doesn't require the same cost in training tools if other fields, but incredible bang for your buck with say a couple programming videos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously. I just want to sit at home and watch TV. Why do I have to get the doorbell? I find that putting a sign in my front yard that says "child sexual predator " helps keep the kids away on Halloween, or any other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a bit worried we might run out of candy, but they stopped coming around 8 or so. There were a few compliments about some new decorations we got at the last minute (a projector for our garage door showing a spider web and spiders, a talking pumpkin, a skeletal fish and some other things). There were some cool costumes, although it seemed like they were less distinct than usual, though a few were easy to tell what they were like deadpool or a floppy dinosaur. Last year I thought we got a lot less kids though, but the year before we ran out of candy and had to turn people away.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsmarydu Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 So things went well, hubby's carved pumpkin got lots of attention, cool costumes, etc. At one point, I go to answer the door & notice blue lights everywhere...3 cop SUVs were shooing the teenagers in masks away from my house. ?

Spaceman Spiff Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Been playing Red Dead Redemption 2 all morning. Been hijacking carriages and stagecoaches and selling them in order to pay down bounties on me. Then I've been having a blast seeing how far I can shoot someone with a bow and arrow.

ixcuincle Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Man I would get that game but I got too much to do these days plus I don't like how they play on a console. I remember getting GTA V when it first came out for Xbox 360. The controls were just too hard on a console. And then when it came out for PC I was able to beat the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A+ Network+ Security+ Microsoft Database Fundamentals Linux+ Just since I started school back in 08 its obvious Security+ has replaced A+ as defacto entry level IT cert, thats how much an influence cybersecurity by itself is having on the IT field. I'd tell anyone no matter where they are starting if they ain't have one, get it. It's not very technical, but some employers are so desperate for people with this cert they overlook experience and even give you 3-6 months to pass it after hiring you. The OSCP/CEH conversation is straight tormenting me. I want OSCP even though I know it has only a 25% pass rate and I need to get better at programming (learning Python), but only need CEH to be eligible fo FedRAMP assessments and I'll be doing actual pen tests for federal agencies. People I talk to in my company made clear they do NOT make the own exploits from scratch, it makes the OSCP for the immediate step in front of me overkill, but CEH has such a terrible reputation as a cert that doesn't prove you know how to do anything I don't want it. Most people say get the money now and take the OSCP later, even Offensive Security themselves. What you thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our house is at the very end of a long (probably half a mile) pipestem driveway, so we aren’t even visible from the street in our neighborhood. I had a couple friends over last night and we just decided to hang at the end of my driveway with a bowl of candy for anybody that made their way into our cul de sac in our neighborhood. Worked out pretty well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
