INFOSEC #6

We talked about cryptography and physical security. It was rather fun learning about those two topics but out of the two, I really liked physical security more because unlike cryptography, it didn't have math in it. I like math and all but I gotta admit, that topic was challenging because you really had to analyze it. The physical security topics was fun because we got to hear stories about a fireman from sir. Plus, the exercise in that topic can really make you think about the security measures the school has and if they're effective or ineffective or if they use the right tools for certain situations.
Our prof. said that if we finish early with the lesson, he will add a new topic for us to learn and for him to teach. I got excited about it until he said that the bonus topics will also be included in the exam and I wished that we wouldn't finish early (I think that wish actually came true)

INFOSEC #5

We have presented our machine project (SpamAssassin) and our debate on the Patriot Act. Our professor in ADVWEB, sir. Boogie, let us use his cPanel account to help us with our machine problem, we are truly grateful to him because he let us it.
The debate went well, we were able to present our arguments and support them. I gotta admit, I was nervous about it because debates are unpredictable but I was excited at the same time because I knew that I can support my case well, although I feel like I was not able to present it very well because I was excited and nervous that I think my voice faltered while I was talking. I feel like I could've done better but at the same time, I'm satisfied with what I've said.
