I've just noticed the first link to alienvault. This is something the company i am applying for uses for monitoring and reporting. Do you know of any resources i could use to improve my knowledge on this?

Ask HN: What is the best way to prepare for my SOC interview

Posted by hackernewsxrx on Thursday April 25, 2019 @09:31AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I have recently been offered an interview for the role of a 1st line SOC analyst. This is my first real interview so i am not really sure how to prepare for it. There will be a technical exam, group exercises and technical questions within my 1 to 1 interview. If anyone could direct me into what would be the best way to prepare i.e. what to revise for the interview, how to act in the group task...

Re:Ask HN: Is running a VM windows 10 on a Linux OS (Ubuntu) secure? on Thursday March 14, 2019 @08:57AM (#19388769)

Sorry yes, i should have been more clear. I don't like the idea of windows collecting and collating information about me. It is a matter of privacy over security

Okay, What about if i flipped it around and ran a virtual linux OS on windows? would this act in the same way, i.e what information (if any) would windows be able to extract from the VM?

Sorry if this seems trivial, i am new to all of this

I know that windows has a lot of information that they collect in order to make your experience 'easier' such as assigning ID's in order to target ad's at you when you are browsing. Does the same apply if i run a VM of windows?

If you don't mind me asking, how did you get to where you are now? what route did you take to get there? i have also updated my profile with an email if you would prefer to communicate that way

Thank you for taking the time to reply. Is there a set route that people take into cyber security? also will the CREST certification be something that i have to fund myself?

I am a 21 year old currently living in the UK. I really want to get into cyber security mainly pen testing, but i am unsure where to start. I have limited coding knowledge - i know the basics. Recently i have been looking to go down the compTIA route. If anyone could give me any advice or guidance it would be greatly appreciated
