I may not know much about actual demons, but personal demons? I know them well—the way they sabotage our goals, damage relationships, and take a toll on our health. We've been taught to conquer these dark forces with extreme prejudice, but what if there’s a better way? What if, instead of enemies, our personal demons are misunderstood companions trying to help us through tough situations?

Join me as we explore a new approach to dealing with these inner struggles. If you're battling your own personal failings and looking for a fresh perspective, this podcast is for you. Tune in and let's reframe the way we face our demons—together.

Struggling with CompTIA Security+ exam questions? 

You’re not alone. In this episode, I’m going to walk you through a couple of questions you might see on the Security+ SY0-701 exam that test your knowledge of how to improve back-end scalability, and how a pentester moves within a network after compromising a server.

I’ll break down the right answers and explain why each option works or doesn’t. By the end, you’ll know how to recognize similar patterns in your own exam. If you’re getting ready for Security+, this is for you.

Bonjour! 👋🏾

Studying for the Security+ SY0-701 exam? Here is a quick exam question breakdown I’ve put together for you. 💯 

It’s focused on easy explanations for concepts like; 

• key stretching (objective 1.4),
• salting (objective 1.4),
• and Extensible Authentication Protocol Extensible (objective 3.2).

Also, I have a quick breakdown on how I approach those pesky firewall questions.

Here is the firewall question I'm talking about in this episode so you can follow along:

An enterprise is trying to limit outbound DNS traffic originating from its internal network. Outbound DNS requests will only be allowed from one device with the IP address 10.50.10.25. Which of the following firewall ACLs will accomplish this goal?

A.
Access list outbound permit 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 port 53
Access list outbound deny 10.50.10.25/32 0.0.0.0/0 port 53

B.
Access list outbound permit 0.0.0.0/0 10.50.10.25/32 port 53
Access list outbound deny 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 port 53

C. 
Access list outbound permit 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 port 53
Access list outbound deny 0.0.0.0/0 10.50.10.25/32 port 53

D. 
Access list outbound permit 10.50.10.25/32 0.0.0.0/0 port 53
Access list outbound deny 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 port 53
