How to Pass CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 in 2 Months (839 Score Breakdown + Resources)

How I Scored 839/900 on CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 — 2-Month Prep Strategy That Actually Worked Score: 839/900 | Exam: CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 | Prep Time: 2 Months | Total Questions: 76 (including 3 PBQs) I'm not going to sugarcoat it — CompTIA Security+ is not easy, but it is very passable with the right strategy. I cleared it with an 839 out of 900, and in this post I'll share exactly how I did it, domain by domain, so you can replicate the approach without wasting time. My 2-Month Study Plan Month 1 — Domain-by-domain study: Read, take notes, and build comparison tables and mnemonics for tricky concepts. Month 2 — Heavy practice testing: Full focus on practice tests and PBQ simulations. Time management drills every session. The biggest mistake people make is spending 90% of their time reading and only 10% practicing. I flipped that in month 2 — and it made all the difference. Domain 1 — General Security Concepts What to focu...

Every SOC Analyst Must Know These Windows Event IDs — Here's Why

Imagine you are the security guard of a massive office building. Every time someone enters, leaves, opens a cabinet, or tries to break in — it gets recorded in a logbook. Now imagine if that logbook could automatically tell you when something suspicious happened. That is exactly what Windows Event Logs are — the logbook of your Windows system, and for a SOC analyst, it is the single most important source of truth. In this blog, we will break down Windows Event Logs from scratch — what they are, how to read them, how to query them like a pro using PowerShell, and most importantly, which Event IDs you must memorize for your SOC analyst interview. Let's dive in. 1. What Are Windows Event Logs? Windows Event Logs are records that Windows automatically creates whenever something significant happens on the system — a user logs in, a service crashes, a file is accessed, an audit policy changes, a script runs.

Imagine you are a detective, and every device on your network — servers, laptops, firewalls, cloud systems — is leaving footprints everywhere.

That is exactly the problem Splunk solves. It is the platform that collects every footprint from every device, puts them in one place, and gives you the tools to find the suspicious ones — fast. In this blog, I will take you through Splunk from absolute scratch — what it is, how it works under the hood, how to write SPL queries like a pro, how to build dashboards and alerts, how to set up a SOC lab, and most importantly, the interview questions you will definitely face if you are going for a SOC analyst role. I have completed the TryHackMe Advanced Splunk rooms including SPL exploration, SOC lab setup, dashboards and reports, data manipula...

Exploiting and Securing GitLab: Lessons from a TryHackMe Lab

Perimeter security isn’t enough—because sometimes the threat is already inside. In this blog post, I’m sharing what I learned from a hands-on TryHackMe lab on GitLab security . It revealed how a simple internal misconfiguration—like open registration or overly permissive repo access—can lead to major data exposure inside an organization. I’ll walk you through the red team perspective on exploiting a misconfigured GitLab instance , and then flip the script to explain how you can secure your own internal build systems . Scenario: Inside the Walls of a Large Organization Think of a large organization—like a bank—with thousands of employees and multiple teams handling development, IT operations, and security. To keep intellectual property (IP) secure, these organizations often host self-managed GitLab instances on their internal network. But here’s where things can go wrong: GitLab is hosted internally Allows anyone on the internal network to register Has some projects...

Email Security Deep Dive: 13 Steps to Keep Your Emails Safe

Email Security Checklist The Email Security Checklist 1. Enable SPF (Sender Policy Framework) What it is: SPF is like a guest list for your email domain. It tells the world that only specific servers are allowed to send email for your domain. How it works: Publish an SPF record in DNS. When someone receives an email claiming to be from your domain, their mail server checks if the sending IP is listed in the SPF record. If the IP is not listed, the email is rejected or marked as spam. Example SPF record: v=spf1 ip4:203.0.113.0/24 include:_spf.google.com -all Only servers in the specified IP range and Google’s mail servers can send emails for this domain. Others are rejected. Points to Note: Prevents attackers from spoofing your domain and sending phishing or spam emails. 2. Enable DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) What it is: DKIM is a digital signature for each email, ensuring that the message hasn’t been tampered with. Ho...
