Even though we just got married a month ago, it’s the 3 year anniversary of our first date🥰 I still wanted to do a surprise. She loves butterflies, so why not Van Cleef it😂

My Valentine’s Day planning paid off! She was shocked and loved it🙏 I got Beyoncé and Janet Jackson tickets, made a website/flyer for our summer concert tour. Then had a metal card with the website QR code made and put it in a YSL purse that matched the website design 🔥

Don’t have many, but this wedding pic is one of my favorites

Met on Hinge, summer of dating from first soft launch, to engagement a year after, to currently planning our wedding🙏

Supreme Court votes 6-3 to open TCP 3389 inbound on all internet connected firewalls.

I made this infographic to help you remember some Linux terminal keyboard shortcuts. If you're just starting out, give these a try🤝

Among Us...Cybersecurity edition

These are my certs, you got questions…ask away

Crazy to think it's been two years today!!! From Hinge...to soft launches...baecations...engagement...Introduction...and now wedding planning! Best friend, partner in adventure, beauty & brains, comfort & safe space, and my biggest cheerleader🥰

My wife wants to do her PMP and asked if I’d do it with her. Do I need another cert? Nope 😂, but if it helps her study and pass…his and hers PMP loading!

She said yes!!!💍💕🥰

Crowdstrike hearing the news today realizing no one will be talking about them tomorrow

Celebrating my fiancée’s birthday today! She loved the setup 🤌🪴🔥 If this tech thing doesn’t work out, maybe I could start consulting guys on birthday celebrations for their partners 😂

Every data center should have these 😂😂😂

Worked full time in the Air Force while also going to school full time. Did my whole degree in 2.5 years while also getting my Net+, Sec+, and CCNA. Took me from $25k/yr to almost $100k at 23. Set the table for grad school and advanced certs the following years.

My wife is so beautiful 😍 We are so thankful to have had a perfect wedding and party with our friends and family. Truly blessed in so many ways!!! I’ll post some more pictures of the ceremony and reception once we get some back.

Don’t skip the fundamental steps!

I made this infographic to cover some basic networking commands in Linux. Whether you're a network engineer or just starting off in Linux, these should help🤝

It's sad, because those of us that love hiking, totally agree with the perception, embrace it, and want it to be a great experience for everyone out there. It's wholesome humor, same way as when folks make videos of grandparents overstuffing you/guests with food.

Since folks liked the networking commands infographic, I made another one covering some basic DNS commands to use on Linux🤝

Had a few folks ask about how to get hands on experience when starting to get into tech/cyber. So this thread some of my recommendations of FREE labs/software for networking, Linux, Windows, cybersecurity, and coding that I have used.

The final day before the wedding. Family and friends all arriving in town 🎉🍾

This is a pretty solid list of free cybersecurity tools/feeds/services from @CISAgov cisa.gov/free-cybersecurity-… It's also VERY useful for folks looking to get hands on experience with different aspects of cyber without paying for tools.

I have an entry level cyber joke, but you won’t get it unless you have 5+ years of experience, a CISSP, a few CVE’s to your name, and a GitHub account.

I've seen tweets recently from @gabsmashh and @TC_Johnson about wanting to nail down subnetting. I threw this little diagram together. For me, leaning to subnet took a combination of memorization and finally finding the right explanation that made it click. #30DaysofThreads

I'm going to warn you, when it comes to tech stuff on ChatGPT...you need to have an idea of what the answer is supposed to be, because if not, it will straight up smile at you while it's lying.

Had someone request some subnetting help, so I figured I would share my diagrams again. If you are having a hard time understanding/visualizing binary, subnetting (breaking networks into smaller chunks), supernetting (adding smaller networks together), or IPv6, these are for you!

I saw a guy routing today. No OSPF. No BGP. No software defined networking policies. He just sat there. Configuring routes statically. Like a psychopath.

Anyone interested in learning about basics of AWS networking? Then maybe doing some other hands on lab walkthroughs?

Them: I need you to give me an IP address and turn on these ports for this new server. Me: Have you submitted a ticket with your approved change request?

Choosing to go in the Air Force because I had no money to pay for college and no real job/life direction. Took me from surviving off $800/month and fast food coupons to 4 years later living outside DC, making 6 figures, having completed my undergrad debt free in 2.5 years, having a CCNA (and other certs) and starting grad school at Johns Hopkins with my GI Bill.

I can't believe how beautiful these preview shots are 👀 Thank you so much @NMicklePhoto (nmicklephotography on IG)! Can't wait for the final gallery. Here's a few of my favorites

I have the hardest time remembering the difference between SPF, DKIM, and DMARC when it comes to email security. So, I figure some other folks might be like me and a new infographic might be helpful🤝

If it wasn't for doing this for content creation to help folks study...27+ certs would be silly😂

I've taken many tech/cyber courses/bootcamps in 19+ years. I've never had to sign an NDA to take one. If you're looking at a new one and it happens to be dishing them out in order to get a seat at the table...🚩

Every time I log into a new Linux box😂😂😂

A thread of the pros/cons of all of the certs/exams that I've passed: @CompTIA Net+/Sec+/Pentest+, @LearningatCisco CCNA/CCNP/CCIE R/S(written), ITIL, @ISC2 CISSP/CISSP-ISSAP, @JuniperCertify JNCIA-JUNOS/Sec/DevOps/Cloud/MistAI/JNCDA, @awscloud CCP, @MicrosoftLearn AZ-900

If you're prepping for a certification, I highly recommend going on Reddit and seeing if there is a subreddit for the particular exam or vendor to see what resources folks who just passed are recommending.

I love to see network engineers with nice cars 🤝

Don't fall for the lies of unauthenticated vulnerability scans😂

Resharing an infographic I created a while ago to cover some basic networking commands in Linux. Whether you're a network engineer or just starting off in Linux, these should help🤝

I made this 3 years ago...is it still applicable?😬

I’m dying 😂

Some folks ghost people...I ghost Udemy courses

I think a guy can sprinkle a little chivalry on it with “Would you like me to pick you up on the way?”, but only if it’s counterbalanced with understanding why the answer may be a no.

I'm a little down. A cyber program I helped build 11 years ago came to an end today. On top of that my path for a new contract for myself ended abruptly. So here's to new beginnings from sad endings🥃 Know anyone looking for a IT/Cybersecurity architect, send them my way🤝

I can't believe it's already been two months since getting engaged! And super excited we finally got our engagement photos!

Love it here!

I just heard tech is out of 6 figure jobs 👀 Too many folks coming in day one making 700k ruined it for everyone. I’m planning to transition to working in a botanical garden🪴

In celebration of hitting 10K followers on Twitter, I wanted to thank all the folks who have supported me🔥 Giving away: 1 - $250 @Hak5 gift card 5 - My Network+ Study guide (physical books) 10 - @tryhackme 1 month subscriptions To win: RT and must be following.

Anyone in tech interested in learning about one of the most used frameworks in GRC, NIST 800-53?

Hey @hinge we're a few weeks out from our wedding! If you want to send something celebratory this way, we're open to all forms of blessings😂

It's now...official official!

This is one of my favorite stolen shot pics of my wife. I’m lucky to have caught it in the moment. I don’t remember what I said, but we were cracking up🤣

If you're learning about networking, Linux, Windows, or cybersecurity...you're going to need to know where your traffic is going. So, I present a new #infographic, the Network Rosetta Stone for default routes🤝 If you like, let me know, I'll add more to the series!

I rebuke the idea of not being able to improve my own life or having to wait for someone else to do it for me.

Can't believe it's been a month already!!!🥰 I wouldn't hesitate to choose her in every lifetime #weddedbliss

When you go to take a cute pic and at the last second look up and see there’s an ambulance behind you 🤦‍♂️😂

Tapas date night and she looks gorgeous in both pics, so I couldn’t choose 🥰

Wife appreciation post🥰

30k to 90k in one year was the most life changing.

Paying someone $500 to switch their first Air Force base assignment with me. I swapped Ohio to DC. Been in the DMV for 22 years since

This but a tech hoodie with all the certs you have 🔥😂

I make a joke mentioning a 800k cyber role, the tweet get 500k views in like 5 hours👀 Share actual tech content that can help you get 100-200k+ and never get 500k views. Why are you making me have to lie to help you out 😂😂😂

“Be a senior cloud cyber architect in 3 months with no experience and you’ll make $200k!!!” gets the folks going… “Let’s learn how to configure IAM security policies and optimize CloudTrail alerting”…not so much 😂

I needed some help remembering some of the key parts of email security (SPF, DKIM, and DMARC), so I made this infographic. This might help @_jayprimo 🤝

Did it hurt, when you found out you can actually use /31 subnets on your network, even though no one ever talks about this when you’re learning about networking.

Where do I have to go to get me one of these?😂 @CiscoChampion @LearningatCisco

Procrastination

Like billionaires are letting folks making 200k with a Volvo and 7 yr old 3 series into their bunkers😂

Will forever be Team Hinge 🫡Congrats and have fun with the wedding planning!

Someone asked me about creating CCNA labs and if it was worth spending $500 on equipment. I'm going to say no (unless you really want to get a bunch of gear), but I'm going to give you some CCNA lab options from free to $500+ in this thread🧵

Is anyone interested in learning a little bit about Splunk and AWS security (IAM/MFA/S3 misconfigurations)?
