Week 12 Blog

Summary of my blog posts for the last 12 Weeks

Over the last twelve weeks, I have researched and written about hackers and various types of malware. I chose the topic of hackers and malware because even though hackers are considered the bad guys, I absolutely idealize them. Many hackers are so brilliant and they know things about computers that many people would consider near science fiction. I have a true passion for Information Technology and even more so for those that have mastered it. I truly love anything technical. Information Technology keeps my interest and my attention. It is just so fascinating to me.

For the most part of my blog, I got much of the material from research. I searched magazine articles, books, and online references. I never used the same source. From week to week, I would go further and branch out my findings more and more. I tried to use a variety of references so that I could ensure unbiased resources. I enjoy doing research and comparing the opinions and findings of other people. My research was one of the most significant contributions I made to my blog.

I definitely think that my blog would be very useful to an Information Security professional. An Information Security professional could easily use my blog to discover any malware or viruses that maybe unknown to them. They could also use my blog to realize the capabilities of hackers. A few lessons that I learned from the creation of this blog is that you should not limit yourself to only what you already know. You should branch out and discover new thoughts and ideas. You should never limit yourself to the familiar. It is important that you branch out and learn new things because you never know how much you can learn unless you try.

Thanks so much for reading my blog! It has been a pleasure writing it and it has been a great semester! ☺

Yours truly,
