The IBM Technology YouTube Channel is just awesome; they explain everything in IT, cloud, AI, cybersecurity, databases, containers, mainframes, etc. My favorite playlist is the Cybersecurity Architecture Series by Jeff Crume.
Hacking Google Series
The Hacking Google Series on YouTube is a documentary series produced by Google itself.

Coursera: Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate
I just completed the Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate on Coursera. I had wanted to do it for a while now. It seemed like a good first course to take, especially with the discount for the Security+ certification. It provides a good introduction to cybersecurity concepts and tools. However, despite what Google implies, I don’t think […]
Harvard CS50: Introduction to Cybersecurity
The Harvard CS50: Intro to Cybersecurity is here! I’ve been waiting for weeks for it to come out. A few months ago, I watched the Harvard CS50: Introduction to Computer Science, which is probably the best introduction to computer science there is. When I heard that there was going to be a CS50 on cybersecurity, […]

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS – Basic Hardening Script
The first thing I do when I launch a VM is to secure the OS. To do so, I created a script that automates the process. There are two versions of the script. The first one is for the cloud providers that give a root user as the first user (DigitalOcean), and the second one […]
First Certification
Twenty years ago, when I first tried Linux, I started with Mandrake Linux and then moved on to Debian and Ubuntu. Since then, the interest in the system has never waned. It made sense to me to choose a Linux certification as the first one to pursue. When I learn something, I like to study […]
