Summing up the working results of the outgoing year, I will highlight my several achievements:
1. The level of English has become much better.
2. I restored my level of work with Cisco network equipment to confidence. I restored it because, for many years, I have been working with other manufacturers’ equipment, and Cisco was an exception to the rule.
3. I got acquainted with ChatGPT, which allowed me to significantly improve some of my automation scripts and speed up mastering various technologies.
4. For myself, I realized that I do not need to waste time, I need to organize and start working for myself, especially since I intuitively feel that the SOHO segment can be taken into work completely. The SMB segment can also be taken, but not completely; there is a need for staff or partnership.
5. I started my own page, to tell the truth, the template was not chosen successfully, you need to edit the CSS to expand the window of the main frame. I’ll take care of it when I have time.

For several months, I have been looking for a job, looking at who works how, asking friends who speak English well to make a few calls and ask some questions, the answers to which could be understood what they are.
I don’t want to go to work with them. It’s not about money but the approach to the work itself. The places where I would like to work are not yet available
for several objective reasons. This is an uncertain spoken English, although many believe it is already enough to start working; this is also my migration status, although I have a work permit. On the other hand, migration status, like the issue of English, is a matter of time.

I hope everything will change in April.

Wherever I am for any reason for more than 10 minutes, instead of sitting on social networks, I turn on the Wi-Fi analyzer and look at what is where
Working part-time in delivery, sometimes I turn on the wireless network scanner; at some point, I just stopped taking screenshots of what I saw.
Of course, there are no malicious intentions to cause any damage to people and businesses. I try to study technical and security issues from the outside because they directly relate to my work.
A vivid example, I took the children to the doctor for an examination. While waiting for the children, I connected to the guest network from my phone. For the sake of interest, I tried to go to the router’s web
interface; the router itself was hanging behind the TV, and I found the username and the password on the sticker. I told the girls at reception about the problem that they had a problem; as proof, I printed them a couple of sheets on their network printer and showed them a picture from their DVR. The backdoor password found on the network allowed me to log in to it. I don’t know if their situation has changed since then. We changed the operator, and we don’t go to that clinic anymore.
After that, I once discussed this topic with the local administrator. According to him, the most important thing is that the patient’s data is protected since almost everyone uses an application that runs in the cloud. All data between the computer and the server is encrypted, and their interception does not give an attacker anything.
I suggested that he consider the option that I, as an attacker, take a screenshot of the screen, and based on it, I make a template, after which I give the program to recognize the data according to the template, i.e. in which field is the first name, last name, address, phone, and the like. I.e. it is not difficult to parse the data from the image.
I did not convince him, but he admitted that the guest network should not give access to the main network.

It`s all strange …
