A Day without social media

I’ve seen a lot of people take breaks from Facebook or their phones and felt that they had good results from it. Ever since I updated my phone and saw how much time I was spending on apps, I decided it would be nice to designate a day to not use social media. I still used my phone even though I don’t get a lot of texts, heaven knows the one day I throw my phone in a drawer and forget about it something important would happen.

Lately I’ve been questioning my influencer/blog life. It seems like it’s something that comes into my mind every couple of months. I’ve been reading a lot about how millennials have a hard time having hobbies just for the fun of it, we’re always pressured to monetize or make use of it as we’re always pushed in the category of lazy.

I guess that’s how I feel about my blog. I didn’t even know what an influencer was when I started it. I knew I wanted people to read it, thought I could make some money off ads. But then Instagram became the place to make money so the whole blogging thing became much bigger. But it gets discouraging when you don’t get the campaigns, don’t get the views, don’t get the likes. Even if I’m trying my best to just make this a hobby with a perk of some spending cash on the side.

On my day without social media, I woke up and forgot I was doing this and scrolled through Instagram. I tried opening the apps mindlessly throughout the day, only to be reminded I’m trying to take a break.

I slept in, I watched some Netflix, I went to the gym, we took our doggo to the park. I didn’t really miss social media, I missed filling gaps in the day with something. Social media keeps me busy, almost no time to reflect.

Nighttime was the hardest because I am usually an avid user of social media, especially TikTok, right before bed. I completed two coloring pages and started a new show (Bunheads, which is not new, but I really like) just to try to keep my hands from reaching to my phone.

The next morning, the world hadn’t ended. Social media didn’t miss me. It was another outside perspective I needed. On one hand, the world doesn’t really care if I’m on social media. On the other hand, it’s something I can enjoy in moderation, especially when it comes to the blog stuff.

Take a look at your weekly phone use, how many hours of screen time do you have?

Ethical hacking

Ethical Hacking?

The Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH) credentialing and training program provided by EC-Council is a respected and trusted ethical hacking program in the industry. Since the inception of Certified Ethical Hacker in 2003, the credential has become one of the best options for industries and companies across the world. The C|EH exam is ANSI 17024 compliant, adding value and credibility to credential members. It is also listed as a baseline certification in the US Department of Defense (DoD) Directive 8570 and is a GCT (GCHQ Certified Training).

Today, you can find Certified Ethical Hackers working with some of the finest and largest companies across industries like healthcare, financial, government, energy and much more!

An Ethical Hacker Answers

the Following Questions:What kind of vulnerabilities does an attacker see?What information or system would a hacker most want to access?What can an attacker do with the information?How many people notice the attempted hack?What is the best way to fix the vulnerability?Ethical hackers learn and perform hacking in a professional manner, based on the direction of the client, and later, present a maturity scorecard highlighting their overall risk and vulnerabilities and suggestions to improve.

Importance of

Ethical Hacking?

Government agencies and business organizations today are in constant need of ethical hackers to combat the growing threat to IT security. A lot of government agencies, professionals and corporations now understand that if you want to protect a system, you cannot do it by just locking your doors

– says Jay Bavisi, CEO of EC-Council.
In the dawn of international conflicts, terrorist organizations funding cybercriminals to breach security systems, either to compromise national security features or to extort huge amounts by injecting malware and denying access. Resulting in the steady rise of cybercrime. Organizations face the challenge of updating hack-preventing tactics, installing several technologies to protect the system before falling victim to the hacker.
New worms, malware, viruses, and ransomware are multiplying every day and is creating a need for ethical hacking services to safeguard the networks of businesses, government agencies or defense.

Benefits of

Ethical Hacking?The primary benefit of ethical hacking is to prevent data from being stolen and misused by malicious attackers, as well as:

Discovering vulnerabilities from an attacker’s POV so that weak points can be fixed.

Implementing a secure network that prevents security breaches.

Defending national security by protecting data from terrorists.

Gaining the trust of customers and investors by ensuring the security of their products and data.

Helping protect networks with real-world assessments.

Types of

Ethical Hacking?It is no big secret that any system, process, website, device, etc., can be hacked. In order to understand how the hack might happen and what the damage could be, ethical hackers must know how to think like malicious hackers and know the tools and techniques they are likely to use.

Types of

HackersHackers are of different types and are named based on their intent of the hacking system. Broadly, there are two main hackers – White-Hat hacker and Black-Hat hacker. The names are derived from old Spaghetti Westerns, where the good guy wears a white hat and the bad guy wears a black hat.

Ethical hackers or white hat hackers do not intend to harm the system or organization but they do so, officially, to penetrate and locate the vulnerabilities, providing solutions to fix them and ensure safety.

Contrary to an ethical hacker, black hat hackers or non-ethical hackers perform hacking to fulfill their selfish intentions to collect monetary benefits.

Grey hat hackers are the combination of white and black hat hackers. They hack without any malicious intention for fun. They perform the hacking without any approval from the targeted organization.

Planning and Reconnaissance:

The first step in ethical hacking is to define the scope and goals of a test as well as the testing methods to be followed. It also addresses intelligence to understand the potential vulnerabilities and how a target works. The prospective footprinting is made through search engines, web services, social network sites, DNS, email, network, etc. by using footprinting tools.

Scanning:

In the second step, scanning is performed to understand how a target reacts to various intrusion attempts, in two ways – when the application’s code is static and when the application’s code is functioning. The later is the most practical way to understand the application’s performance in real-time.

Gaining Access:

This is a crucial step where the web application is attacked using SQL injections, cross-site scripting, backdoors, etc. to find the vulnerabilities and then exploit them by stealing, intercepting traffic, and interfering privileges to understand the amount of damage that it can cause.

Maintaining Access:

In this step of penetration testing, the vulnerability is used as a persistent presence for a long duration in the infected system in order to steal sensitive information or to spread inside the network, quickly gaining access to the server.

Analysis:

The final stage of a penetration test is to compile the result by analyzing and commenting about the vulnerabilities exploited, access to the data, and the amount of time that the tester can remain unnoticed in the system.The various phases listed above form part of EC-Council Certified Ethical Hacking Certification program. In the first 6 modules, our CEH program teaches how to reconnaissance, scan, enumeration and its techniques and vulnerability analysis. In further modules of CEH, you can learn Malware Threats, Sniffing, Types of Hacking including social engineering, and DDoS, Evading IDS, Firewalls and Honeypots, SQL Injections, Hacking web services, mobile IoT, and more.
