Thank you Jesus for strength.

@FadilulahA999 @Ahmed___khaan @Amospikins @CompTIA @crownbefitsme07 @cyb3rshi3ld @cyber_rekk @cyberwithdani Scaling up, free resources aren't really organised. One just has to search for the concept one intends to learn and instead of one thorough path. For the paid, I would say TryHackMe

I am Aspiring SOC Analysts — what's the best free/paid resource that helped you with Security+ or SIEM tools? I'm using Alison + TryHackMe. Drop your recommendations 👇 #BlueTeam #CyberLearning #juniorsocanalyst

@FadilulahA999 @jay_hunts Thank you 🙏🏾

@Cyber_Sam01 @jay_hunts Congrats

How it ended👇🏾: @jay_hunts

@d_pcode @jay_hunts Thank you 🙏🏾

@Cyber_Sam01 @jay_hunts Well done bro💪

A wrap! X won't let me share my full reflection, so catch up on the complete journey and what I learned on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/posts/adetola-…: linkedin.com/posts/adetola-…

Day 1/100 #100Daysofcybersecurity I started with The Windows Command Line. In my learning I was able to cover Command prompt and its command, how to work on files and directories ( create, move copy and the likes), getting help and navigate through system via HTB. #blueteam

I loved the hierarchical structure in Sysmon View instead of the standard Event Viewer—it really gave life to my analysis. I also enjoyed using Brim instead of Wireshark for this, along with Timeline Explorer.

Day 100 #100Daysofcybersecurity 🎉 I solved a challenge room, Tempest. It was a full kill-chain analysis on a Windows OS. I used Sysmon View, EvtxECmd, Brim, and PowerShell ISE to aid my analysis.

@chukwupg Incredible 👏🏾

Day 100 - #100DaysOfCybersecurity 🎉 (Final Day) Today marks the completion of my 100 Days of Cybersecurity Challenge, and I wrapped it up by diving into a critical concept in vulnerability management: Types of Vulnerability Scans. After building a strong foundation in reconnaissance, and packet crafting, today I tied everything together by exploring how vulnerabilities are systematically discovered in real-world environments. What I Learned Today: Vulnerability scanning is about strategy, context, and accuracy. Here are the key scan types I explored today: Unauthenticated Scans Simulate an external attacker’s view. -Useful for identifying exposed services, but limited visibility. Authenticated Scans Provide deeper insight by logging into the system (with credentials). -More accurate results, fewer false positives. Discovery Scans Focus on identifying the attack surface (hosts, ports, services). - This builds directly on tools like Nmap. Full Scans Run all available checks and plugins. - Powerful but can be noisy and resource-intensive. Stealth Scans Designed to reduce detection (e.g., SYN scans, reduced noise). - Important in production or monitored environments. Compliance Scans Validate systems against regulatory standards (e.g., security policies). - Critical for enterprise and regulated industries. ⚙️ Key Insight Vulnerability scanners follow a structured workflow: - Discover hosts & services (often using tools like Nmap) - Identify software versions - Match against known vulnerabilities (CVE databases) - Generate findings (which must be validated) ⚠️ One major lesson: False positives are real, and validation is just as important as detection. 🧠 Why This Matters This ties directly into everything I’ve been learning: Recon - identifies targets, builds profile Enumeration - reveals services Scanning - uncovers weaknesses It’s the bridge between finding systems and actually assessing their security posture. 🚀 Reflection - 100 Days Later What started as curiosity has evolved into structured, hands-on cybersecurity practice. Cybersecurity goes beyond tools, it’s about understanding systems, thinking critically, and validating everything. This is just the beginning. @jay_hunts @ireteeh @segoslavia #RedTeamer #Cybersecurity #EthicalHacking #VulnerabilityAssessment #Nmap #RedTeam #LearningInPublic

Day 99 #100Daysofcybersecurity I worked with siem tool, splunk and elastic elk for log analysis.

I intended to share this yesterday, but the exhaustion caught up with me and I slept off. I share a post on linkedin yesterday bytheway, kindly view it here: linkedin.com/posts/adetola-…

I think it’s a solid addition for getting a fast summary of a file's behavior. Network Security: I also wrapped up some pending rooms on IDS Fundamentals and Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) detections, where I saw ARP spoofing in action.

Day 97-98: #100DaysOfCybersecurity Back in Ipajs, where the electricity isn't as constant as it is at Unilag. Over the last few days, I took on a challenge room for malware analysis called Shadow Trace. Technical Highlights: ...

@A_y_zed Thank you boss 🙌🏾

@Cyber_Sam01 Welldone boss, you’re doing a great job 👏

Days 93-96 #100Daysofcybersecurity The last 4 days had been very taxing for me. First, I had to lock in for my last exam that was yesterday, then a robot design project which I had to defend also. I almost crashed out.
