Okay wow, I got a bit bright and t hought I could just study and pass the AWS.

Damn there is so much to Cloud computing, so I am taking a few steps back before tackling AWS

Current exam path now:
CompTIA Cloud Essentials -I know a lot of this already, but I am cert whore lol
CompTIA Cloud+

May do some Azure too, def wanna have a very good understanding of cloud before taking on AWS.

How should I go about learning Linux? I've installed Red Hat and Ubuntu in the past, but that's about the extent of my experience with it.

Install and use Linux without the gui interface. Once your forced to use the command line to do everything you'll learn twice as fast.

Will this program help me get hired??? https://www.brandman.edu/program/bs-computing-technology-information-technology Let me eat

Do it at a real university, like a state university.

Computer Science is better if you want to be a programmer.

Computer Info Tech. is more along the lines of being running/administering a computer network (ie. network admin, sys admin, network support, running servers, being an IT manager, etc.).


And yeah, I'd probably try for a more accredited university.

I'll have to revisit this assignment because you are missing something in yours: I think it should go: john-386 -- wordlist = password.lst rules john.ini crack-these-please
If I remember that correctly you don't have a rules file in your commands.
