TECHNOLOGY

What technology can average Americans use themselves to be more efficient, security, day-to-day life? The first thing that comes to mind is using all of the resources that are available right now to capture platforms. So there's a few of them. Obviously, I favor, uh, TryHackMe because that's the one that I'm, you know, I'm, you know, number one on their leaderboard, but number one on their platform, whatever. I love TryHackMe and I'll explain why in a second. But there's TryHackMe, there's HackTheBox, there's, uh, Cyber Security Academy, there's, uh, there's a bunch of them. Even, uh, the name is slipping me right now, but a good friend of mine, Nahomsec, has his own platform that he's building out. Look him up, but there's there's a ton of awesome platforms you can learn on that not only are capture the flag style, meaning like you have to get, you know, to solve a challenge and get the flag before somebody else and you get more points, where it's more competitive. Um, there's walkthroughs that teach you just the basics of networking, or the basics of how to use Windows, how to use Mac, how to use Linux, how to do a cell phone, you know, you name the category, there's a walkthrough for it on, uh, TryHackMe, HackTheBox, etcetera. Never touched a computer in your life. You join one of these platforms, you click the complete beginner tab, you start going down each one of those tasks. Some of them are boring, but the cool thing is a lot of them are hands-on. So not only are you reading, but you're learning as you go through each category. And, uh, you're seeing the result of what you've done. So like, I remember on TryHackMe, I, uh, I brought a lot of people onto that platform, and I don't own it or anything, but the platform is, uh, one of the first ones is hacking a bank. So it's a fake bank that they have set up, and your goal is to transfer funds from one account to your account, and it shows that the vulnerability that that would over in that specific case, if how you would move the funds over, but they explain it in such a simple way that anyone can understand. And, uh, it gets progressively harder, but that anything that you've, uh, previous, uh, you know, you've already learned in previous steps.
