  Hi Rick,
  Your Black Fedora Cyber Cache is awesome! You can add OverTheWire's https://overthewire.org/wargames/bandit/. Great practice with Linux! Also for Burp Suite check out their https://portswigger.net/web-security.
  
  Take care,
  Stan Pieklo

  Rick - Are there any more TTT upcoming? I heard there was going to be a CySA but haven't seen anything yet. Is there a roadmap for the TTT for this Summer/Fall?

  Rick,
  
  I have already passed CompTIA Security + 601 and Linux + XK0-005. Doing so has extended my A+ certification expiration date out to 2028.
  If I go and pass the new 1101 and 1102 does that nullify my 2028 expiration date and only extend my A+ out three years from now?
  Let me know if you need further clarification. Any help would be appreciated.
  
  Thank you,
  Mike

  "CyberStart America" has a self-guided set of fun cybersecurity challenges aimed cybersecurity student beginners. The best part of their content are their videos in which techniques are explained. There is zero fee to join if you are a student.

  In addition to the National Cyber League and their slack channel, there is a blog associated with the NCL that stands out, it belongs to "CryptoKait".
  She covers a number of topics including directions and hints that are GREAT resources for students just getting started in cybersecurity topics.
