COMSEC- Learning Log #5

Sir Justin was not around in one of our classes. But it okay, he gave us an activity for us to finish. My group and I quickly answered the activity so that we'll have more time to do some activities in our other subjects.

INFOSEC- Learning Log #4

Just like in our COMSEC class, several groups presented their case studies. And again, my group and I were included. We were so stressed out, obviously haha. But we managed to present it good enough to have a positive feedback from Sir Justin. Yay! 

COMSEC- Learning Log #4

That day, Sir justin discussed about our past exercise that we had done last meeting. It was okay. My group and I got most of the answers correct (Thank God!!!). After the discussion, several groups presented their case studies. Unfortunately, my group and I were included. However, our presentation turned out well.

INFOSEC Learning Log #3

Because of the topic of our research paper, I remembered my favorite poem about Snapchat. So here it goes..




An app that gives us what you see 
It grabs it as its meant to be 
Then you can send it to your mates 
The Internet opens its gate 



  
A timer that safely removes 
It from their view, do they approve? 
For some things that are sent about 
May cause the watcher quite a shout 


  
For people think it's quite a lark 
Who knows what next may draw their spark 
The photos and the videos 
Sent forth to shed them of their woes 
  
Snapchat, it is the name it has 
It's use is growing fast and crass 
Even the Facebook shows its rues 
As all the fails, you abuse 


  
So what may be the next delight 
Some media that will excite 
But keep your finger on the screen 

COMSEC1- Learning Log #3

Because of our research paper, I remembered my favorite poem about viruses. So here it goes,

I hold valuable information,
But a virus prevents its spread.




Everybody wants access to me
But the virus lives within.



You could reprogram me
But how much is the toll?



You could just leave me be
And leave the intel alone.

I have my own solution,
Which requires little effort.



Just wipe the whole damn system
And begone with all your troubles.

INFOSEC Learning Log #2

INFOSEC class had been great for us for the past two weeks. We were all catching up with the topics discussed and we all got to pass everything that was needed to be submitted. Yey!

One of the tasks that was given to us was to get a certification in a site called "Cybrary" by taking the free exam in it. At first, I was actually nervous because I kept on overthinking things when it comes to school works. I also think the worst. 

Surprisingly, I got 95% in the exam and I was overwhelmed. To be honest, the exam shocked me. It was actually an easy test. Can't believe I'm saying this but it's true.

Another task that was given to us is to make a proposal about our upcoming research. The research was about the topic that we picked which was about the security of social networks (not sure if that is the exact title lol). 

Because of that research, my awareness about the social networking security issues increased. Since, this topic is important and a lot of people in the computer world are talking about it, it became really interesting for me to study.

COMSEC Learning Log #2

The last two weeks had been quite rough for us. A lot of activities and assignments were given and it was hard for us to finish them all in just a short amount of time. It was so tiring and stressful!

Good thing, in our COMSEC class, Sir Justin allowed us to submit the given activity until midnight. Because of that, we got to rest for a bit. Of course, we still tried to finish our activity that time so that we won't have to think about it in the next couple of hours left. We finished it quickly actually. Hooray!

When we were doing the activities that was given to us, I was able to learn a lot about sniffing packets using wireshark. Even though, we didn't really do the sniffing thing haha. When I was researching for the answers in the questions, I learned that Wireshark is actually one of the best open source packet analyzers available today. 

I also learned that people use Wireshark for troubleshooting network problems, examining security problems, debugging protocol implementations and learning network protocol internals.

Can't wait for the next activity!!!!
