Just got moved to a satellite site at work and my load has decreased IMMENSELY. went from doing 6 tickets a day to basically none. I just spent all day doing school and watching YouTube. Brought my surface pro today so I can spin up some vms. Can't wait for my lab equipment to get in though so that I can remote in at work and cert up at work.

Any brehs with an IT degree in the DMV trying to break in its time to eat.

The professionals at the National Security Agency (NSA) have one common goal: to protect our nation. The mission requires a strong offense and a steadfast defense. The offense collects, processes and disseminates intelligence information derived from foreign signals for intelligence and counterintelligence purposes. The defense prevents adversaries from gaining access to sensitive classified national security information.

The United States has experienced profound changes that impact the way the National Security Agency (NSA) conducts its mission. The explosion of Internet communications has created a need for the Computer Network Operations (CNO) mission. This very important mission includes computer network defense and computer network exploitation. In order to carry out these functions NSA is looking for IT Security Professionals who are highly skilled, want to stay on the leading edge of technology and impassioned about ensuring the United States maintains a strategic edge in cyberspace. These are NOT your average Computer Science, Networking or Engineering jobs!

As a Computer Network Operator on the offensive side you will:

- execute computer network operations against foreign adversaries' information systems and networks
- use advanced software applications for network navigation, tactical forensic analysis, and collection of valuable intelligence information

You will be required to take a computer network operator test (Computer Networking Test) in order to be considered for this position. The test includes 2 sections. The first measures your ability to draw conclusions based on available information. The second measures your knowledge in these topic areas: Networking, Security, Windows, UNIX and Programming.

teach me your ways breh,

1) Purchase a fairly, powerful old computer that has some extent of scalability as to its resources i.e. RAM, disk, processors, etc. I have a Dell Precision 7500.
2) Acquire a hypervisor (type I) of your choice: Hyper-V, XenServer, VSphere, KVM, or others. If you are going with a type II hypervisor, I would recomend Oracle VirtualBox.
3) It wouldn't hurt to have a NAS (Network Attached Storage). You can store your ISOs there. Mount them to your VMs (virtual machines).
4) Acquire ISOs of your choosing for installing operating systems to VMs. You can obtain copies of Windows Server 2012R2, Windows Server 2016, Ubuntu, Gentoo, or others online.
5) Basic network: WAP (Wireless Access Point), cable modem, and a switch with at least 8 ports and gigabit ethernet.

That should be a good primer. If you want ideas as to hardware to purchase, funding for virtual data center, certifications, just reach out to me.

Now that you have a virtual data center with a small; rudimentary network, you can build whatever you desire: databases, container servers, coding stations, proxy servers, virtual switches, et al.

over the years i learnt that being late or tardy isnt a joke. if you dont have to sign into a phone or voip, you can get away with 10 mins like everyday but usually everywhere takes lates seriously. you can be early everyday but the one day your late your gonna get in shyt. i got fired from tim hortons helpdesk for this very reason. time is money, especially in the corporate world. you cant be costing nikkas their bread plus it just looks bad.
