spyware app or files?
Hey everyone , i have recently been worried about my phone having any kind of spyware which might mirror my screen or stuff like that . My reason of suspicion is one of my classmates kind of started to talk about the things which i have been searching off ( although the things r basic and ig its normal). i have gone through all the processes google and AI says and i found no real suspicious thing as such . if there are any other ways to detect , please share . Thank you
Minor display diagnostic support
Rather minor issue here but still worth documenting and asking. Every once in a while, typically when I alt-tab, my screen partially goes partially red for a frame or two. This started happening out of nowhere roughly a week or so ago, but it seems to only happen once or twice a day, if even that. I did buy a second monitor just to see if it still happens and it hasn't yet, but I haven't really alt-tabbed too much on it so I can't be fully sure.
Malware on my external drive converted .eml files into .js files. I’ve unplugged the drive.
How can I safely check if the malware is still active in my external drive and if more files were affected ?
Thoughts on a Master's in Cybersecurity (especially for gov work)?
I'm starting college this fall and strongly considering a Computer Science B.S. degree. My end goal would definitely be Cybersecurity, but from what I've read, a Cybersecurity B.S. is less employable and less flexible. There is a Security "concentration" in my CS degree that I would probably choose, although this option isn't ABET-accredited (but the "general CS" option is ABET-accredited). The B.S. in Cybersecurity at my school is NSA CAE-CD accredited. Does the ABET accreditation matter, especially for government jobs?
Speaking of! I want to work in Cybersecurity, but more specifically for the Federal Gov. I personally would rather take the stability and especially the government benefits in the public sector over the higher pay but layoffs, higher stress, and worse benefits in the private sector. This is also partly because I have a chronic health issue and good healthcare coverage is essential for me.
So here's my main question(s): 1. Which degree option is best? CompSci Security? CompSci general? Cybersecurity? And 2. is a Master's in this field worth it? Ever since I was younger, it was my plan to get a Master's I absolutely love learning, so I always just pictured myself continuing my education after my B.S. to gain more in-depth knowledge in the field. I am a huge STEM nerd and really love science and math, so I'm wondering if a M.S. would allow me to do more intellectually challenging / higher level work in this field, especially for the feds. Is a M.S. generally valued by federal employers? If I get a M.S., which would be best? A general CS master's? A CS master's with a specialization in Cybersecurity/some aspect of Cybersecurity? Or a M.S. directly in Cybersecurity?...
Recommendations on IT-infrastructure visualizer tool
Hello everyone!
I'm currently looking for a tool to plan or visualize IT-infrastructure (so if possible with Router, Switches, Server, VMs, Notebooks / PCs...) without it being super tedious like drawing each single line as if you are making it in PowerPoint. I do have two use cases in which I would apply this tool to:
1. In the near future I want to get myself a homelab (maybe even a rack) and also setup my networking at home. Also going to use VLANs to separate guest stuff, my private stuff, households private stuff and work-related stuff (working from homeoffice) from each other. Plans to expand being brainstormed but not included in here. For that it would be nice to use the tool, to plan my home-IT-infrastructure accordingly and afterwards use this as a visual documentation of it (ofc works only if I update it lol).
