Hi. I'm guessing if you're here, you're in the wrong place or you have an unusual desire to read a boring blog about aspects of Ethical Hacking and Network Security.
If the latter is the case, you're probably still in the wrong place. As I write this, I'm still officially a newbie - a fresher newbie. It is correct; today I officially started at Uni, the cause of writing this blog. Today I have:-
- Joined a group called "Team Ultra Deep Penetration" or Team UDP for short. Needless to say, I am going to regret standing up in front of a bunch of professionals along with the "we put the D in UDP" tagline that comes with it.
- Learnt we get Chromebooks - apparently they are nice and new. I also discovered with some wizardry (technical term) that you can run a kernel in a kernel, which allows you to have more than one operating system.
... Hooray for getting rid of the boring HTML5 web browser and replacing it with something a little bit more useful.
- On top of the Chromebooks, I also get a BeagleBoard which is like a Raspberry Pi, but without the apparent compatibility issues. It shouldn't be long till I get to play with mine and set up a linux distro on it. It's been a personal wish to have something like this for ages, I want to get into linux programming, but with a cool way to do it. It will be utterly awesome to find things that interface with it.
I do wonder about the specs of this little guy though, 256MB of DDR2 RAM is quite low, even for a command line version of linux.
Finally, I've learnt this is going to be one hell of a year. I've got so much to learn (like linux!) and it already feels I've got so little time to learn it. I'm already lucky enough to have good friends and dare I tempt fate, by saying I think I have good lectures too.
FYI - if you got to the end of this blog, you have no life. :-)
