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!

How do I bypass browser fingerprinting and fraud detection systems online in 2023?

Okay, so I’ve been trying to run Google Ads via the Gologin software. It’s supposed to help mask your browser identity and prevent you from getting blocked and banned on whatever sites you use ‘em on. My problem is that it’s not working for me. All accounts were banned after about 30 minutes and now Google straight up won’t even run the ads. I’ve had the same issue with Multilogin as well. With and without clean proxies that pass tests on Whoer. Any suggestions?

I’ve been using the following with no luck: • Gologin & Multibrowser • Rotating Residential Proxies • made sure browser profile matches my native operating system’s • verified proxy isn’t blacklisted and has low fraud score • verified no DNS leaks
