Hi there here is part 2 , listing the wins.
Since returning back to vegas in 2011 just under 15 years ago now.
Self Confidence: I learned when I returned to Lvnet how bad they are and how much it really effected my mental health working there. I seeked out a pchycologist not just for my change in life to help me shape who I really am but for all the trauma I’ve had, this is the point it helped me to break free again, I learned my self worth was alot higher than that home depot parking lot worker. Working in the Casinos taught me how dishonesty runs wild but it also taught me how much I really developed over time.
I am a hacker all along, My story starts in 98, 99 during the time of the hackware wars, the syn and smurf attacks to remote shells and the love for the OS slackware linux. During the hackware wars I took over lvnet(ispnet) as this was my origin story into become that jump started my hacker success story, but sadly because I was never appriased for it, I was never got on the news for it, I became an unsung hero who got lost in a cult leader narcissistic owner Marty Mizrahi abuse. I became more aware of my cybersecurity background than I realized and I’ve been using alot of cyber security guidelines that normally exceeds any computer tech in their field in which is why I was able to step up so far in any IT field. When I finally broke into IT Security Patch and Vuln. Management, I got alot of flack for it because the lack of schooling and degrees and only thing that got me in the door was the experience and my hacks. I’ve never been thrown under the buss for co workers lack of performance before nor being verbally abused in a corporate casino job before but regardless of that not only did I succeed I made sure the team did as well even when I had to rework their job roles to make mine harder and they took all the glory for it. Sadly I was let go from this casino job in 2023.
The book, the best righteous hack yet to date back in 2020 shortly after the pandemic, rich in knowingmy worth, I asked for my partnership to make me their CISO and let me reshape the company to be more secure and work flow so much better and help change how things worked inside as it was being ran like a childrens playground. But he laughed at me and told me I was worth less than 10 an hour to him even then. Moving forward, I lost my job in 2023, I phoned him up for a temp job and unfolded the lies from being told on how Marty isn’t in control of the company in which he is soo much in control as back in 2022 he was arrested for multiple counts of fraud. Back track in 2020 shortly after the CISO Partnership rejection, I started to write a book in honor of my mom, I went full force the moment Marty was arrested for fraud in 2022 and published it in March of 2023. This book somehow got into Lvnet and were I learned that I was unhirable with no explaination but I later learned that it was just that, the book. At the same time i got a call back from another job so I stopped attempting to get the temp job in place. The book started to play more into the fraud case as I was being told by an FBI informant about the information given to the case was to be shown how deep his roots went into lies, fraud, and much much more. I also helped the informat as their life was being threatened by Marty. I created a series on the whole lvnet scenario, dug more into the background, taken stories that still to this day I get DM’s about how Marty affected them and SEO the book to the point I’ve seen a high sale and hits on the podcasts and books during the initial trial. When I heard Marty was found guilty on all counts, that is when I seen and can oonly speculate that my book played a heavy role on this and in my book that is a righteous hack using truth to shed the justice served, but it is an unsung hero hack that will never see a glory, sadly.
Other wins, getting ceritified with a+ helped boosted my self worth as a human, getting ready for ccna certs and taking and passing practice tests with almost if not 100% most of the time but was never able to afford the certs gave me courage that I can and learned alot in the networking field already. I got and passed my ITiL foundations v4 exam with 100%, I trained in CEH and CISSP (exhauting & long but I also practice with tests that I could find), but lost he ability of the company (casino) to pay for them due to the pandemic and their calling off all spending. Embracing the new job with learning and mastering the azure cloud.
In closing, what burns me out the most is the field of work I am in, I am not an IT Professional, I am a hacker, a Cyber Security Professional. I am not a Linus tech tips or Leo from TechTV. Never inspired to be, I wanted to be a Kevin Mitnick and make the world a better and more secure place.
