Congrats to @Ryan Hoang !!! 🥳🥳🥳 He’s a student in the bootcamp and absolutely CRUSHED it Well done 🔥🔥🔥

Self-awareness and self-determination remain my strongest tools. I leaned on both and committed to three focused weeks of disciplined preparation for the Security+ exam. That approach paid off. For anyone preparing, these are the resources I found genuinely effective: • Professor Messer’s Course Notes and Practice Exams — clear, structured, and exam-aligned. • Cybercraft PBQ Videos (21 total) — watch all of them. They are invaluable for understanding the practical, scenario-based questions. • Nmap Cheat Sheets — extremely helpful for grasping core Linux commands and network scanning fundamentals. • Acronyms Academy Podcast — excellent for breaking down and retaining acronyms across the exam objectives. • ChatGPT — my daily pen-friend. I actively discuss what I read, challenge my understanding, and identify areas for improvement to continue learning and growing. https://youtu.be/pAOPCVjT7xk?si=skS58lcwTpiDH0Zv
