Building this from zero — no shortcuts, no gatekeeping, just consistent daily work. I've stumbled and come back stronger before, and I'll keep doing it until I get there. SOC analyst in progress, penetration tester ahead. This account is the real, unfiltered process.

Day 64 /100✅ Python strings today. + joins strings, * repeats them. But 'Alice' + 42 throws a TypeError. Convert with str() first. Type errors are easy to miss and costly in security scripts 🐍 #100DaysOfCyber #Python @malik_cybersec

Day 63/100😮‍💨 Python taught me today that 3 + 4 is 7 but 3 + 4.0 is 7.0. One tiny decimal and the whole answer changes type. Also hit this error: “unterminated string literal.” I forgot a closing quote. Classic. @malik_cybersec

Fridays back then 😹@malik_cybersec

Day 62/100 🔐 Python order of operations: ** first, then * / // %, then + -. 2 + 3 * 6 = 20 but (2 + 3) * 6 = 30. Parentheses win. #100DaysOfCyber #Python @malik_cybersec

Day 61/100 My computer will do exactly what I tell it, and that's both the best and worst thing about it.😑 Learned this in Python today: it can't guess what I meant, so a wrong line just means an error. No damage done, just a message #Python #100DaysOfCyber @malik_cybersec

Day 60/100✅ One tiny quote mark stopped my whole script today. unterminated string literal I read the message, found line 1, deleted the extra ", and it ran. Learning to read errors might be the most useful skill I pick up this week. #Python #100DaysOfCyber @malik_cybersec

Day 59/100 Finished Cisco Endpoint Security yesterday. Today I picked what to learn next, and it wasn’t another course. Python. Every log parser, scanner and automation script in security starts there. Starting Automate the Boring Stuff. #100DaysOfCyber @malik_cybersec

Day 58/100 🔐 Finished Cisco’s Endpoint Security course. Biggest lesson: encrypting a file means little if the login travels in clear text. #100DaysOfCyber #cybersecurity @malik_cybersec

Yesterday I said I'd hunt for a tampered file. Found it. Day 57/100✅ hashed 6 backup files in Kali. 5 matched, SEclients.txt didn't. Flagged it for review. Then HMAC on income.txt goes further: no secret key, no forged hash. #Cybersecurity #100DaysOfCyber @malik_cybersec

Can you tell if a file was changed after a cyber attack? Day 56/100✅ today I'm using hashes to find a tampered file, then HMAC to verify integrity with a secret key. Will share what I find. #Cybersecurity #100DaysOfCyber @malik_cybersec

Day 55/100 ✅ Finished Endpoint Security Module 9 and got 100% on the quiz after a retake. Missing questions taught me more than getting them right. Module 10 next. #100DaysOfCyber #cybersecurity @malik_cybersec

Day54/100 Continuing my Cisco Networking Academy Endpoint Security course. Today: network-based malware protection. Next-gen firewalls, IPS, NAC, gateway security and endpoint protection, all layered together. Next up: host-based intrusion prevention. #cybers @malik_cybersec

Day 53/100 Reading about network perimeter security: hardened router with VPN, next-gen firewall, IPS, AAA server, and email/web security appliances, all working together. No single device covers everything. That's why layered defense matters. #cybersecurity @malik_cybersec

Day 52/100 Kali is built to attack. Today I pointed a security auditor at it instead. Ran Lynis on my own VM to see how hardened it really is. Learning to read warnings vs suggestions is a different skill from hacking. #CyberSecurity #100DaysOfCyber #Lynis @malik_cybersec
