Six years ago ...

Writing is too difficult. We have to think deeply to know what we want to say. We have to organize our thoughts and we have to decide how many paragraph we are going to write about something. I have already been writing for six years and it is still difficult for me. I have to recognize writing this post is easier than the first one but words and sentences are still difficult to find on my head to write what I want to say. This was the aim of creating this blog. Writing, writing and writing to improve my writing skill because it was too difficult for me when I was studying English language and I had to take the writing exam.

Six years ago I decided to write about tech things. Particularly, I decided to write about security and networks. Since then, I write weekly about what I’m learning, what I’m reading or what I’m doing in my job. This is going to be my last post before going on holiday thus I want to write about what I have been doing in the last year which has been full of experiences and technologies.

This year, I’ve learnt new technologies such as AWS Cloud and Web Application Firewall where I created my virtual Data Center in the Amazon Web Services with AWS Elastic Load Balancing, AWS Shield & AWS WAF and Amazon CloudFront. With regard to WAF, I deployed several F5 BIG-IP WAF where I learnt clearly the difference between WAF vs IPS and I ended up getting F5 BIG-IP ASM Certified Technology Specialist. In fact, I had to deploy F5 BIG-IP DNS for Data Center Load Balancing as well.

What has been demanding, but delighted at the same time, has been the Ethical Hacking Course and the Security courses on Networks and Systems where my students learnt how to create a backdoor for Android systems, make their own malicious WhatsApp as well as making app safer with HTTP Security Policy. It was demanding because I was also studying French language at Official School of Languages and I had to do my homework such as the Video Selfie in French Language or talking about Sophie Germain. However, it was delighted because I learnt a lot about security and I passed the A2 level in French Language.

In the meantime, I’ve been reading about security, economics and psychologist such as No Place to Hide and Thinking, Fast and Slow. I’ve been also studying about Computer Forensics and I’ve had time to go to the ForoCIBER 2018 where I resolved the CyberSecurity Challenge.
