I'm tutoring university subjects because apparently I enjoy explaining things repeatedly until they click. Here's what I've cooked up for my students:
COMP4337/9337 Securing Fixed and Wireless NetworksCOMP[49]337 Securing Fixed and Wireless NetworksSecuring fixed and wireless networks is one of the great courses that I quite enjoy (both teaching and learning). It's a practical course that covers a wide range of topics in network security, from the basics of networking fundamentals to cryptography, wireless security, and even some emerging topics in the field. I should write something more here about it...

How I Built This BlogHow I built this blogI'm not a fan of reinventing the wheel, thus, I've searched for the best libraries out there to help me make this website. kyle-drawing.png Resources Here are the external libraries I used to build this blog: * linked-blog-starter (Original repo) * obsidian-export (Obsidian MD -> Common MD) * remarkjs (Common MD -> HTML) * github-markdown-css (HTML -> Beautiful HTML)
Resources and libraries that made this site exist. If you're interested. This place is mainly made of markdown files. I'm a big fan of markdown, just so you know.
