This Week’s Recap

3/7/2022

• Created an index for book 1 and 2 of GCIH
• Felt pretty good about the material and decided to take a practice test.
• This was my first time taking a SANS exam with the new testing UI, it was fantastic compared to the old one.

3/8/2022

• Created an index for GCIH book 3
• Tabbed out all of the books

3/9/2022

• Watched this crash course on golang.
• My goal is to spend the rest of 2022 sharpening my python skills and 2023 to start learning a compiled language. I was thinking of learning C but I will probably end up learning Golang instead. It seems really fun.
• Finished creating an index for the rest of the GCIH books using my SansTerminalIndexer program.

3/10/2022

• Watched @rybaz give a talk about pentesting a decentralized network.
• Created an outline for my talk at Wild West Hackin Fest. This is going to be a very very strange talk but should be very entertaining.
  • Are you going to WWHF? If so let me know on twitter

• Spent a lot of time improving my vim development environment by getting some new neovim plugins. The new plugins I added were:
• https://github.com/preservim/nerdcommenter
• https://github.com/vim-airline/vim-airline
• https://github.com/jiangmiao/auto-pairs
• This is my current init.vim if you’re interested:

call plug#begin()
Plug 'nvim-lua/plenary.nvim'

• Took my second GCIH practice exam and scored an 81%. Not too happy with this score (especially since I made an 86% on the last one where I didn’t use an index…) but I have high hopes for the exam. My goal is to score 90% or above.
• Scheduled my exam for 4/19/2022
