Learn How To Hack And Secure IT Systems – For Under $50

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeWith news breaking all the time about the latest cyber security breaches to compromise business, personal, and even government systems both big and small, it’s easy to get the impression that IT security is a purely defensive game. However, the best ethical hackers play plenty of offense as well, using a forward-thinking approach to identify threats and neutralize them before they become major threats.

You can join the international effort to secure the web from cyber-terrorism with the training of the Super-Sized Ethical Hacking course bundle, on sale right now for just $43 (over 90 percent off) from The National Memo Store.

This package may seem intimidating at first, packing in over 78 hours of instruction across nine mammoth courses, but once you jump in, even as a pure IT security novice, you’ll quickly understand the terms, tools and methods you’ll need to become a full-service ethical hacker.

After working your way through the introductory courses (Ethical Hacking From Scratch to Advanced Techniques, Learn Social Engineering From Scratch, Complete WiFi and Network Ethical Hacking Course 2017 and Cyber Security Volume I: Hackers Exposed), you’ll be ready to move up to more complex operations to help better identify external threats, beat them back, and refortify your security to make sure similar vulnerabilities don’t happen again.

From there, you’ll move on to actual hands on work using the most powerful pentesting tools in a hacker’s arsenal (Ethical Hacking Using Kali Linux From A to Z, Learn Website Hacking and Penetration Testing From Scratch and Hands on, Interactive Penetration Testing & Ethical Hacking). You’ll also work on the knowledge you need to ace the industry-recognized CompTIA certification exam (CompTIA Security + Exam Preparation). This training is even thinking about your bottom line, with ways to get in and start making money immediately with your newfound skills (Bug Bounty: Web Hacking).

The IT security ranks swell every day and you can be a part of that surge with comprehensive training for a limited time – at more than 90 percent off, to boot!

Trump Wises Up, Abandons His Improbably Large Wall

Trump Wises Up, Abandons His Improbably Large Wall

The most important moment in Wednesday night’s GOP debate was one that didn’t receive a lot of attention in the press: Donald Trump gave up on building his border wall. The candidate’s boldest policy proposal, a 2,000-mile-long barrier separating the United States and Mexico, was shortened to a mere 1,000 miles:

Trump: As far as the wall is concerned, we’re going to build a wall. We’re going to create a border. [. . .] They built the Great Wall of China. That’s 13,000 miles. Here, we actually need 1,000 because we have natural barriers. So we need 1,000.

It would seem unwise for a presidential candidate to vaunt a project that required the toil of many generations of slaves, so we must assume that Trump is ignorant of the unpleasant construction history of the Great Wall of China. Still, he should know that the Wall was built across harsh mountain ranges — without regard for any natural protection that the topography may have provided. Those who seek to create a true barrier do not trust nature to perform the task for them.

In his capitulation, Trump has moved closer to the conclusion that I came to in my previous article on the matter: Building a border wall is very difficult.

I congratulate Trump for recognizing that he cannot negotiate with the faceless realities of construction, and for scaling back his proposed wall appropriately. Unfortunately for those Republican voters who demand a wall that spans the full length of the Mexican border, it looks like they will not get it with Trump.
