Certified Ethical Hacker Exam Application

So, Today’s the day. I am submitting my application for the CEH exam. To my surprise that actually care about your training and creds before taking the test unlike compTIA’s A+, Network+ or Security+ exams. I attached the link below for anyone who is interested in taking the exam. You require a minimum of two years in the IT security field, I professionally am going on 5+, so I at least have that going for me, and you need to have a Supervisor in the field vouch for you to take the exam. I’ve been going up and down pluralsight’s material and in a nutshell, it appears to be on the opposite side of the security+ exam, more on the offensive than the defensive. So let’s just take a peek at the cost of the exam…. do da do do do… $950!? Geezus! Well looks like it’s back to the good ol’ top ramen diet again for awhile.

ESP8266 NONOS SDK DHT Thermastat

So this weekend, I ended up overhauling my ESP8266 DHT library to make it plug and play into other projects. One big thing to take aware from this is that GPIO 15 is off limits due to the pin being required to be low / grounded during boot or it will not leverage SPI to start up.
Also GPIO16 is also off limits as well for GPIO toggling, With this being said 6-11 is also offlimits for SPI. So what’s left? Not much, I’m testing with GPIO13 at the moment to see if it can handle the data line floating while the esp is rebooting.
