BT Cyber Security

So instead of buying a NAS (Network Attached Storage), I decide to convert my old system and build my own. With 64 gigabytes of ram, a Radeon RX4800 (I know.... "Overkill"), and Intel Xeon E5-2697 v3 14-Core @2.60GHz already on hand the only thing I needed to purchase was a network card and the most important item in the NAS, the storage.  I started out purchasing six 8 terabyte helium (quiet and heat resistant) hard drives, a 10 gigabit network card, and added some other accessories I needed to complete the upgrade.

 A long journey starts with one step, and so my journey begins. On this blog I will be sharing how I started this journey of entering the cyber security field and earning my PhD during that process.

As I start writing this blog I will share what I have learned from my studies and tinkering, And of course I need a day off every once in a while so why not some video's of me trying to be elite in videogames or just playing with some new tech. So stay tune and watch this space. Cheers!
