First Couple Weeks and Practice Online Safety and Security

My experience in the class IS101 has been interesting so far. I am having some troubles and also some successes. I am having trouble with the LabSim assignments because I can't run them on my CSN laptop. This has caused me to be behind on those assignments because I can't go to school every single day to finish them. I am also having trouble with Professor Wu's indirect way of having us do things, but I am getting used to that. Moving on to the good, I have been enjoying solving these challenges I am facing and living every day to the fullest. I have been very busy with school, work, and making music, but I am starting to slowly find habits to balance everything in a way I want. The skill I will be expanding upon is 1.4.13 Skills Lab: Practice Online Safety and Security. I was always curious as to how to block pop-up ads because I used to watch a lot of shows on my computer and I would get them all the time. When I was searching for ways to do that, I stumbled upon things like clearing my browsing history and blocking third-party cookies. Aside from using them in that situation, I don't have much experience on those subjects. But what I really found helpful is identifying scam emails. I always get emails and text messages like the ones listed in the example asking me to click some kind of link. The assignment helped me get a better understanding of how social engineering attacks work. That's all I have for now until next time, good bye!

Me

My name is Salem Zewdu, and I will use this blog for expressing myself in many different ways. First I would like to talk about myself. I am currently attending CSN and taking classes I like or am interested in. With my free time I make music and I also love playing soccer. I never ever expected for myself to be rapping in my future but I was very wrong. I want to create a career out of the talent I posses and do it with all my friends if its possible.
