In this video, I am currently having a blast with my students testing out the accuracy of the Attack Map in T-Pot.

In this video, I go over the Spider Foot tool for the first time. The findings are quite shocking!

Visual Studio Code, also commonly referred to as VS Code, is a source-code editor made by Microsoft with the Electron Framework, for Windows, Linux, and macOS. Features include support for debugging, syntax highlighting, intelligent code completion, snippets, code refactoring, and embedded Git.

Students will understand the complete history of Linux and why it was created. They will learn more about Linus Torvalds and its benefit to the modern world.

Students will learn basic commands in Linux to navigate around the file system and create files. Here are a few below!

1. pwd — When you first open the terminal, you are in the home directory of your user. To know which directory you are in, you can use the “pwd” command.

2. ls — Use the "ls" command to know what files are in the directory you are in. You can see all the hidden files by using the command “ls -a”.

3. cd — Use the "cd" command to go to a directory. For example, if you are in the home folder, and you want to go to the downloads folder, then you can type in “cd Downloads”.

4. mkdir & rmdir — Use the mkdir command when you need to create a folder or a directory. For example, if you want to make a directory called “DIY”, then you can type “mkdir DIY”.

5. rm - Use the rm command to delete files and directories. Use "rm -r" to delete just the directory. It deletes both the folder and the files it contains when using only the rm command.

6. touch — The touch command is used to create a file. It can be anything, from an empty txt file to an empty zip file. For example, “touch new.txt”.

7. man & --help — To know more about a command and how to use it, use the man command. It shows the manual pages of the command. For example, “man cd” shows the manual pages of the cd command.

I discuss Git/GitHub in brief but the main point of this lesson is to drive traffic to the three downloaded resources. Those three guides will help you set up your Git/GitHub to succeed in this course.

In this video, I give a quick lesson on HTML. I talk about its purpose and offer examples for students to follow!

I further explain HTML by introducing the boilerplate and more elements/tags.

I go over the purpose and meaning of CSS in web development.

In this video, dive deeper into CSS and we will complete our first website draft. The website will be styled with basic colors and fonts.

In this video, I show you an example of what you can build using HTML, CSS. The end result will be a gullible card that will convince the user to click on a link that will harvest their credentials.

In this video, I show you what a successful (challenge) project looks like when you finish the capstone. This is a HUGE example of the type of task you will be creating as a Content Engineer.

This is how I built the email (fake) conversation for the Birthday lab. I used custom-made Gmail accounts. We will dive deeper into this later in the capstone lesson.

In this video, I decide on a target theme for my victim. I end up going with a Spider-man 2 PS5 theme.

In this video, I create the repository named Gamestop for the current project. I will link it below for your viewing pleasure.

I created index.css and style.css to build the homepage of the project. This is the foundation.

In this video, I made the Spider-man 2 PS5 cover art more presentable and add a border to it.

I finish styling the homepage for the Spider-man 1 pre-order advertisement page. It looks really good after embellishing with some catching words!

I polished up the ad a little bit and started committing my changes within Git. This will prepare me for the big push to GitHub.

We make sure to deploy the false Amazon site to Netlify. We then link it to the Spider-man 2 ad to then deploy that online as well.

I git push all the changes to GitHub and try to upload an intro video on README.md. The latter part is completely optional.

I uploaded a video from the victim's perspective on my GitHub README.md. This again is completely optional.

In this video, we close out the project by creating a false email scenario to download for context use. From here, you can revisit the first few videos of this capstone to further develop a PowerPoint slide explaining the challenge and adding questions. I hope you enjoyed

In this video, I explain the top of Google Docs. I also showcase the projects I created using the tool. They look extremely great!

In this video, I go over my favorite Google Docs Template site. I use this site more than most of my information blogs and tutorials.

In the first part of the project, I try to look for an interesting theme to start adding content to the page. We decide on AI within cyber.

We conclude with the AI cyber blog. It looks pretty nice and it is ready for the public. I also showcase an old project I did with that same template that will showcase how deep you can get with content creation.

In this video, I talk about the free tool Google Slides. I also showcase the projects I created with it as well.

In this video, I talk about my favorite Google Slides template site. They offer free and paid content as well. This will really help with creativity once you have your eyes set on a certain theme.

In this video, I teach you how to create a good YouTube title, generate tags, and 'upload' a thumbnail for our first YouTube video launch.

In this video, I give you insider YouTube tips that will help you thrive as a small content creator in this competitive market. I also explain the concept of Fair Use. This is extremely important in Content Engineering.

Definition: (in US copyright law) the doctrine that brief excerpts of copyright material may, under certain circumstances, be quoted verbatim for purposes such as criticism, news reporting, teaching, and research, without the need for permission from or payment to the copyright holder.

As a content creator, you will probably dive into the streaming side of things. In this video, I talk about my stream experience and offer some tips that can help you become a great streamer. Yes, StreamYard is free but the PRO version is much better!

In this video, I talk about the cool tool Feedly that many aspiring Content Engineers could use to stay up to date with IT/Cyber trends. I show you a quick tour and how to add websites to your folder. In summary, you will come out with a dashboard with daily feeds centered around recent cybersecurity news.

In this video, I talk about individual cybersecurity news sources that you can possibly look into if you are not a fan of Feedly. I will show the ones in the video.

I am a huge Reddit lurker. I love getting the inside scoop of certain threads every morning. This video will go into how I search for advice, tips, and information on Reddit.

In this video, I showcase the first project I ever created since I started my cybersecurity journey in 2021. This project aims to utilize your news sources (Feedly, Reddit, etc) to craft a report of a recent cybersecurity incident that occurred at that time. This is a very cool project to create and showcase as a beginner.

On December 22, 2022, online password management service LastPass revealed that hackers had obtained extensive information from user accounts such as billing and email addresses, end-user names, telephone numbers, and IP address info. We are going to dive into this story and document our findings in the PowerPoint. The template can be found below this lesson.

We are going to dive a bit further into this study. I will discuss the attack category of said attack, the company profile, and the timeline of events that even leads up to 2023.

This is the final video of the three-part lesson. I conclude the studies by going over the mistakes LastPass, as a company made, the critical vulnerabilities exploited, the cost of damages, current lawsuits, prevention methods that should have been enforced, and the sources I used to gather this data.

In this video, I give a tour of my personal notion and how I use it for taking notes. I explain some cool features about it like the pre-built templates and sweet layout.

This video from my channel goes over my detailed process when it comes to taking notes on the platform. I keep it clean and basic. After this video, you should be adept to start documenting your personal notes and findings.

If you made it this far, thank you! In this video, I will show you how to create a beautiful portfolio that you can share with the world with one hyperlink. I will discuss the certain parts you should focus on and the parts you should remove. Assuming you have completed every project in this course, your Content Engineering portfolio should look amazing. Again, feel free to tailor it to your liking. I show you mines towards the end as an example.

In conclusion, I was a content engineer before that role was known within cybersecurity. I always had a drive for developing content to showcase my creativity but most importantly help others. You will be amazed at how much power your portfolio has in conversations, presentations, and hiring decisions. I truly wish you all the best in your careers.

If this course or any lessons in this course truly helped you, please pay it forward and help the next person. Remember, you are creating content to help yourself and the world! Imagine what one can do with this course full of content. It will content to inspire the next line of Content Engineers. Thank you!

I created this challenge in hopes to show students how detailed you can get as a content engineer. This is a very difficult lab that can potentially be published or not. Either way, I would like to go over the content of this lab and how I created the story. You guys are going to love it! I will place the power point in the description if you want to give it a shot. I will not provide the answer keys so you will have no way of verifying if you are right or wrong. Good luck!

This is the second challenge I created with the difficulty of hard. Check out the scenario below:

Far Zenith Enterprise (FZE) is a leading cybersecurity company, based in London, UK, that has the best AI-Powered tool in the market called “God’s Eye”. This tool uses behavior detection algorithms by collecting network logs and metadata to detect and respond to attacks inside the cloud. Their clientele dominates the entire UK market since this tool brings value to many IT companies—primarily those in finance and healthcare. Their proprietary source code for their tool has been stolen by a former employee named Lukas Knight. Lukas was a Detection Engineer for FZE. These are professionals who transform information about threats into detections.

Generally, important source-level code is hidden from users (and certain employees) so that important data processing operations can’t be exploited. Lukas is a part of the Cybersecurity Department at FZE, not the Development Department. The question of how Lukas gained access to the source code can be summed up as poor IAM practices. Regarding the cybersecurity profession, effectual identity and access management policy are the core elements of a mature and competent cybersecurity program. Knowing this, Lukas probably exploited the bad access management practice that lead to capturing the source code before he abruptly departed from the company. His motives are unclear—despite that—this is a problem that can result in millions of dollars in damages.

Leak source code can enable malicious actors to identify and exploit vulnerabilities, publicize trade secrets, and blackmail software. If the public finds out about this leak, it will raise reputation concerns about FZE cybersecurity practices. This alone could bring down the company and cause 100s of employees to lose their job. From a marketing standpoint, source code leaks can raise serious questions about a company’s cybersecurity posture. From a product development standpoint, leaked source code can allow competitors to recreate core elements of code, or for threat actors to create identical applications.

We need you, as our best Threat Analyst, to investigate Lukas's suspicious activities that evaded our detection. Recently the British government produced a new mandatory reporting obligation on managed service providers (MSPs) to disclose cyber incidents. Failure to do so can result in FZE being fined up to £17 million ($20 million) for non-compliance. The public will know either way so we need a damn good story on why Lukas when rogue!

Hello, Team! I am super stoked to announce that my lab Cipher has officially been made public on the BTLO platform. This is amazing! So far it has been challenging for Pro players thus far! The faster completion was clocked at 1 hour and 30 minutes by Hataker. This lab also has a romance story element to it that I will leave you to explore!

Hey guys! I recently had the opportunity to interview for the company Hack The Box (HTB) for their Defensive Content Engineer (Global) position. This video discusses my techniques and skills used to kill the interview and technical assessment. Shout out to Sabastian Hague for the opportunity.

In this video, I go over my recently created labs on the BTLO platform. These labs have become widely accepted, bringing positive and thoughtful reviews these past months. I pray you find this inspiring.

A fellow student, under the alias Goody, recently published a Medium review of my course. Not only did the knowledge help them in their career, but it has received over 157+ claps and a repost by Ian Austin—the founder of Pwned Labs. Check out the feedback in this video!
