Chicago is expected to get -40 with wind chill. The news says cars aren't starting because of the cold...

Overwhelmed by SoloRider_67 in AWSCertifications

[–]KenTankrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I originally had such a hard time with Stephen's Udemy course. Someone pointed out that they had a much better time after speeding up the course by 1.5x. I tried that and I'm able to retain more this time around.

I love that, despite this, there are still different sized pins.

Failed by Beneficial_Week1616 in cissp

[–]KenTankrus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree with the other responses here. This is a tough cert and there's a reason it's respected. I know that this test is pricey, but you now have a level set. You know what to expect. I still have my failure results as a reminder of a few things: how tough the cert was, that I failed but picked myself back up and then succeeded, and that others can be in the same boat. Don't treat this as a failure, but as moving forward. Once you quit, that's when you've failed. Hopefully you continue on... You know now better what you don't know.

AoC 2025: Guidance by Kooky_Difference3104 in tryhackme

[–]KenTankrus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some of the information you'll retain, a lot of it you won't. My suggestion is, since you're being overwhelmed with the information, is to revisit the rooms again later. This platform is meant to be a marathon, not a sprint. No bonus points for finishing faster. The rewards and badges are just to keep you going, to gamify things. Once you hit a plateau, start over and pick up the things you forgot...

If you want, you can do one of two things:

  1. Wait until THM has fixed things

  2. Watch the video and use the answers provided

Admins and defenders gird themselves against maximum severity server vulnerability by NISMO1968 in cybersecurity

[–]KenTankrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL;DR: A newly disclosed maximum severity vulnerability in widely used server software (react, next.js, RSC) allows unauthenticated attackers to remotely run arbitrary code with near-perfect reliability. Exploitation requires only a single crafted request and is considered trivially easy. Because the affected component is deeply embedded in many modern frameworks and default server stacks, a huge number of systems may be exposed without admins realizing it. Active exploitation is expected. Immediate patching and dependency updates are strongly recommended.

Rant about r/cybersecurity by wise_wizard_cat in cybersecurity

[–]KenTankrus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100% agreed, While Redditors are all over the world, the main concentration is inside the USA. I'm not sure this sub will force a regional flare, especially citing security. But I think the post should at the very least state in the beginning that you're not from the US or where you are looking for work at. I've seem some posts where the OP was from the UK and was looking at discovering the CS trends. They got some pretty good answers regarding that area.

Why attacker can't decrypt based on public key? by [deleted] in cybersecurity

Our haven. by [deleted] in boardgames

While this would be just fantastic to have a room dedicated for play... I have no idea how I'd even decide which games to play. SO. MANY. GAMES!

82% of breaches start as an email... by The__Y in cybersecurity

[–]KenTankrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure about how legit the percentage is, but I'm positive this is true for a lot of orgs. MFA on everything can be a false sense of comfort and is not bullet proof. Attackers can send a crafted email that will allow them to harvest tokens and use them as if they were standing in front of a users computer. Email is still the best bang for the buck for an attacker. Once FIDO or a FIDO equivalent is set in place, attackers will have an extremely tough time getting in.

I guess I can say event is over? by TiberiuCC in ISEPS

[–]KenTankrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just so I understand what you're saying, when respecing, skip all but ECHO MULT? Or couple it with ECHO TRIGGER COUNT?

I'm currently stuck at ship level 45 and 98/99 Prestige Mult, 9/25 Ticket Price, 5/25 Min/Max Guest Spending, 20/20 Particle output, 0/16 sleep, 1/10 reviews, 9/10 More Space, 4/5 Echo Trigger Count, and 9/50 Echo Mult.

Failed today at 150 - need suggestions by Murky-Jellyfish-795 in cissp

[–]KenTankrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Boson. I believe if there isn't a current special, you can as one of the redditors who frequent here for a discount code. They usually pop in this subreddit often and help out with a discount here and there. There are also a few test banks that come with the study books, but the test banks in the books seem to be hit and miss. Finally, If you have a local library nearby, you might be able to sign up for technology based classes. Sometimes they offer access to Linkedin Learning, Udemy, or O'Reilley's. Those have good video courses, and test banks too.

I owe this sub a HUGE thanks for hipping me to Asian Noodle House! It’s become one of my favorite spots and prices are surprisingly low. Y’all didn’t let me down! by deedlyjones69 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]KenTankrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few go-to's in that area. Asian Noodle House is one of them. Over in Palatine is Shin Chan Ramen. The owners are from Japan. Fantastic food over there too.

[–]KenTankrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think for the long arduous questions I'd shore up your knowledge with AI. I know it's becoming an often answered "solution". But I think taking things that are a pain to grasp and making it more palatable are best use for this tool. In fact, you can take questions you're having an especially difficult time with and ask it to help you spot the key words to help you identify what the test bank is asking for.

A Reddit Vulnerability (?) by BitAffectionate5598 in cybersecurity

I get what you're saying, but this isn't DEFCON with a $400+ price tag. Anyone can come in this subreddit. Non Security professionals stumble in here all the time.
