A chronicle of my networking exploits.

Almost two years ago, my coworker informed me that he was beginning cybersecurity classes. Intrigued, I began learning more about this subject. I was reading papers about how networks operate and watched a YouTube video. I found the learning process to be fascinating. In order to completely comprehend the network, I wanted to study more and more about it.

I've begun working on setting up a lab and conducting network experiments. I became enamoured with this cutting-edge technology.

I initially believed that this wonderful trip would be a simple process of mastering. However, I was obviously mistaken. It was definitely more difficult than I had anticipated. I've begun to see that networking encompasses a wide range of things that must be mastered in order to fully comprehend the idea. I fall in love with networking.

Yes, love requires constant dedication and sacrifice. This is the definition of networking. 

Right now, I'm pursuing my CCNA certification. I was informed that CCNA would assist me in establishing a solid network knowledge base from the ground up. 

In my opinion, concentrating solely on CCNA was dull. I have started practising more labs, such as firewall, Active Directory, and packet analysis. I have started learning Python coding. 

I always have to put the theory I've studied in the lab into practice. The best thing about networking for my engineering mindset is that I can test and apply what I've studied right away. 

It developed naturally, and I've also begun building out my physical lab. 

I do not know if networking is for everyone, but if you like problem-solving and hands-on learning, the network tastes the sweetest.
