Stop Confusing Bus, Star & Ring Topologies (Simple Guide)

No one knows the effort that went into your work more than you.
Don’t wait for others to acknowledge your efforts.

Monthly Milestones

Month 1
•Understand networking basics
•Comfortable in Linux terminal

Month 2
•50+ TryHackMe rooms completed
•Security+ 50% complete

Month 3
•Book Security+ exam
•Build basic home lab

Month 4–6
•Apply for IT/SOC roles aggressively

Package cleanup

1️⃣ apt autoremove – remove unused
2️⃣ apt clean – clear cache
3️⃣ dpkg -l – list packages
4️⃣ dpkg -r – remove package
5️⃣ apt purge – remove configs too

Keep your system clean & fast.
Which one would you run today?

The fastest way to stand out in IT?
Become the person who documents everything you learn.
New tool, new command, weird server issue? Write it down.
Your notes become your superpower.
Nobody remembers everything. Pros build knowledge gardens.

Nobody talks about IT audit roles.
You're verifying companies follow security policies and checking compliance frameworks.

Pays $60K-$80K entry level. You don't need to be as technical, just detail-oriented.

Google "IT auditor" or "GRC analyst" on Indeed.

Recruiters screen for risk.

Hiring managers screen for fit.

Your application needs to satisfy both.

Success isn't about being the best.

It's about refusing to quit.

Installed Apache on Kali.
But this wasn’t about hosting a page.

It was about logs.

Watched access.log in real time.
Simulated 404 probing.
Asked: normal… or recon?

Learning to spot patterns early.

SOC starts with visibility.
Visibility starts with logs.

Copy.
Paste.
Forget?

Not on Windows.

With clipboard history enabled, copied data is stored in a user-linked database.

Passwords.
API keys.
SSH commands.

Apps close.
Screens clear.
Artifacts remain.

In DFIR, even Ctrl+C can anchor a timeline.

Wireless doesn’t just carry signals.
It introduces new attack surfaces.
• Learn 802.11 standards
• Compare 2.4GHz vs 5GHz frequencies
• Understand channels & interference
• Map wireless security risks

Basic web concepts

𝗕𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘅 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝗯

Built a sandbox inside my VM.
Simulated users, groups, permissions with Bash.

No production risk.
Just controlled practice.

Automated tasks.
Logged activity.
Versioned with Git.

You don’t need real servers to build real skills.

VM + structure = safe growth.

Basic file operations

1️⃣ touch – create a file
2️⃣ mkdir – create a folder
3️⃣ cp – copy files
4️⃣ mv – move/rename files
5️⃣ rm – delete files

These are Linux building blocks.
Which command surprised you?

𝗧𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗿? 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲.

top → Who’s eating CPU
df -h → Disk usage
du -sh → Folder size
lsof -i → Open ports
tail -f → Live logs

No guessing.
Check metrics.
Read the system.
Let the data speak.

Just like physical security people need cybersecurity

CCTV → Firewalls
Home alarm → Antivirus
Home defense → Incident response

Get into the field

Plant your seed and nurture it 🌱

Ignore the hype about “fast money”

If you know only 5 AWS services, make it these:

• EC2 → virtual servers
• S3 → file storage
• IAM → access & security
• RDS → managed databases
• VPC → private networking

Master these and
80% of AWS suddenly makes sense.

You don’t need a fancy setup to begin.

All you really need:
• A laptop
• Internet access
• Daily consistency
• Genuine curiosity

Start now. Learn in public. Grow quietly.

Knowledge is useless without execution !!!

• Get comfortable

The terminal is just text commands.
You’re in control.

𝗚𝗶𝘁 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗿𝘆? 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 🌱

• git init
• git status
• git add
• git commit
• Make small changes
• Push to GitHub
• Don’t worry about mistakes

Git becomes easy with use.
Not memorization.

• Break things → fix them
The best way to learn Linux?
Using it. Not watching tutorials.

Don’t overthink it. 🐧
• Install one distro (Ubuntu is enough)
• Learn basic commands (ls, cd, rm, grep)
• Understand Linux folders (/home, /etc, /var)
• Practice permissions (chmod, sudo)
• Install & remove packages (apt)
• Monitor processes (ps, top, htop)
• Read logs (/var/log)
