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.

What up fellas, I need some advice on how to become a programmer. Do I do the Computer Science major route or Computer Information Technology route. I know the computer science route is a longer but i'm not sure if companies will hire Computer Info. Tech. majors. Will this program help me get hired??? https://www.brandman.edu/program/bs-computing-technology-information-technology Let me eat :feedme:

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'm getting my associates in Cyber-Security so I have used that program my professor uploads all his lectures online so maybe that can help you.

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.
shyt man I know how that feels this semester is killing my gpa. I know for a fact that I failed all my classes this semester. shyt is killing me bruh I had a 3.75 gpa last semester and a 3.3 overall so I know that shyt is getting cut in half now. I had way too much shyt going on this semester with family, work, school shyt so I'm going to take the summer off and go back hard on it in the fall.

@acri1 just passed my A+ 801, thanks for the advice brav :blessed:
I passed the 801 certmaster study program comptia uses, but want to volunteer with some hands on work for a few weeks before I take the exam.

What was the exam like? multiple choice? I'm always hearing people talk about a simulator of some sorts??
