Maintaining security privacy and anonymity can be a complex thing.
In order to achieve good security good privacy and to be anonymous you must understand detail.
So the course goes in depth.
It is both broad and in depth.
Any course that just touches on the surface of security will leave gaps and any gap makes you vulnerable.
So any Course attempts to help protect you online has to have some depth and breadth to it or it would
fail to teach you enough so you can protect yourself on line.
But just because the topic is in-depth and complex doesn't mean it's not possible to learn.
If you find the topic interesting then that's all you'll need.
I recommend making notes read around the topics we cover and feel free to ask questions when you have
them.
I provide lots of external references to Web sites reports news articles Wikipedia and so on.
It's not necessary to read them all.
These are just for further reading if you want to go further into the topic.
I also recommend setting up a test environment in order to practice what you learn and I'll teach you
how to set up a test environment later on in the course.
One of the best ways to learn is to learn to teach someone else.
If you have in your mind that you need to teach what you are learning to someone else after or actually
do teach someone else that will really help you retain what you learn.
According to a psychology report learners retain approximately 90 percent of what they learn when they
teach someone else or if they use it immediately.
Which is why I recommend you learn it from the perspective that you're going to teach someone else or
teach someone else and you set up the test environment so you can use these things immediately.
This is not a course you just to watch and listen and then forget.
This is a course for you to actually learn and then be able to practically apply and also learn and
retain approximately 75 percent of what they learn when they practice what they learn and you can see
some of the other statistics here.
There are many referenced items in this cause and most of them are free.
I made an effort to make sure that they are free.
But you may want to purchase additional software hardware and services that are discussed in this course
and example could be.
You want to buy a VPN or you want an email service or you want to buy a hardware router or you want
to pay for a virtual machine and so on.
Although it's absolutely not necessary to buy anything to understand this course I'm just letting you
know that you may wish to make additional purchases after you learn certain topics and I have no affiliation
with any of the products that are discussed in this course.
They are only what I recommend or what are required to know about in order to understand the topic.
I cover different operating systems on the course and it may be you never have any intention to use
a particular operating system that I'm talking about when I am talking about a particular operating
system.
I make it clear most often in the title so you can potentially miss those videos if you wish.
Like for example Windows 10.
You may never have any intention to use that.
So therefore there may be no point in watching a video that teaches you how to change the privacy settings.
So as I said you might choose to skip those sections as they're not relevant to you.
But that's up to you.
I don't recommend you skip the sections on Linux particularly because when it comes to serious security
and privacy the Linux and Linux type operating systems really are required and some final advise take
affirmative action.
Knowledge is no good if it's not applied.
Most people will listen to some of this course and apply only a bit of it but if the consequences of
a breach in your security privacy or anonymity is high then you have to take affirmative action and
apply the techniques I teach you here.
And finally my hope is that the information in this cause will be used positively to improve people's
freedom security privacy and NMT and above all liberty please do no harm with this information and stay
illegal once you have completed each volume you can get a certificate of completion signed by me which
you can see here in front of you.
This provides the relevant information that you need to earn something called continuous professional
education credits.
Or C P E.
These are the qualifications that you might have now or you may wish to get in the future.
So Job security PLOS says CIA say CIA s.m and so on.
So if you want your CPA points once you have completed this volume and the other volumes meet your request
for the certificate here this you Arel the service is provided free of charge but do allow 28 days for
the certificate to be processed.
All four volumes of this course amount to actually over 50 hours.
That's actually a lot of CPE credits if you want to know CPS.
So good that you're able when you've completed each volume.
