hacking: security in practice
Does this sound familiar?

I got a text from somewhere containing both letters and numbers. There was not a blue dot next to the message but I know I didn’t open the message. So after I noticed this, I decided to open the message and my screen went white and when I clicked back to my message inbox the text message was completely disappeared from my inbox (without me deleting it).

Any advice for retaining knowledge for certs?

I understand this question has likely been done to death, but currently I am studying for my comptia A+ (attempt by May or June) and Network+ (attempt 6 to 7 months after comptia A+). I am not too worried about money because my parents are paying and comptia has student discounts, but I am struggling to study effectively. I try using notes which helps, but sometimes it feels that I am only memorizing facts rather than real world applicable knowledge. I am using ItProTv and have considered watching Professor Messer. If this helps: Ive been on Tryhackme for 6-7 months, I know how to use enumeration tools at a beginner level, I am currently on core1 network cables of ItProTv. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/xk8EY2CMQQCEB2sTN-GRpy9bd9ugoqEijtVQ9jkmQes.jpg I thought I'd take a shot at reverse engineering some firmware. The only device I have with firmware is pretty much my TV, which is Samsung. I downloaded the firmware pretty excitedly and ran binwalk only to be completely lost and not know what to do. The firmware comes in a .msd file.

What would your next step be here?

Thanks in advance.

binwalk update.msd

​

binwalk -E update.msd

Setting up Kali Linux M1 ARM

Just looking for advice from people that maybe a little further down the road than I am. Currently I am setting up Kali on my M1 Macbook air and I do not know if I should set it up to emulate which might be able to handle more applications or if I should just go a head and virtualize so Kali can run a little bit fast. I have zero expreience in Linux so any advice would be great, thanks!
