Security+ exam

Hi I completed dion and professer messers practice test and got these scores for security+

And I think it's low and and I'm lacking in 4 and 5 domain

So I've studied again but now I'm confused if I should re-take the exam or not

As i have taken dion exam in practice mode and not in exam mode if I retake the test I will end up memorizing the questions

What should I do?

Also how much should I score so that I can be sure that I'm ready to take the accrual exam

I have even scheduled it yet cause I think I'm not ready yet

Jason dion practice set 1 (in practice mode)

Test 1 = 65%

Test 2 = 63%

Test 3 = 74%

Test 4 = 77%

Test 5 = 65%

Test 6 = 75%

All in practice mode

Professor messer

57

56

65

Andrew ramdayal

Test 1 = 74%

Demotivated

what am I doing wrong? I spend 1.5 months studying for security+ and thought I could do practice test and solve professor messer practice test and got 57 correct question

I kinda disappointed and demotivated after studying this much i scored so bad

And after seen ppl get 70 -80% in practice test after 1-2 week of studying without tech background

Helium vs Firefox

i primerely use Firefox and secondary Brave but i can't live without PWAs and Firefox is quite bad when comes to PWAs so i started using helium only for PWAs but i thought why not switch to helium from firefox as firefox consume alot of ram, and helium is privacy focused also and chromium based so PWAs works fine

but i'm just concern about security as it's in initial stage and managed by small team
and as it's highly private browser with 0 google integration but is it secure

we might hate chrome for privacy but we have to agree that is most secure and security patch updated browser
i'm concern if helium is that much secure or not
as it's chromium based which is secure but idk if the security patches are frequently updated in helium or not

portfolio

hi guys, for portfolio/writeups or showcase your skill which platform you use
i'm confusedin github, gitbook and medium

medium is like blogging

i saw a guy's gitbook writeup profile and it's so clean and well maintain
but when i asked Chatgpt it says to upload your writeups to github only as it's more professional and best for cybersecurity portfolio

does it really affect if i use gitbook instead of github?

local or virtual

guys do you use virtual machine to use kali or parrot os or dual boot or single boot on system?

currently i'm using it on vmware but i was thinking to shift from windows to linux for my daily
so i was thinking to install kali and use it for both

but the biggest concern is privacy
as i need to use virtual environment to perform any attack

i just want professional opinons that what os they use for daily work and what environment do u use to perform attack

is it a seperate laptop with only linux installed
or kali on vmware on a linux os
or kali on vmware on windows and use windows for daily work

Need advice

i just graduated from collage my major for CSE with cybersecurity specialization

i didn't got any placement form my clg

as i was getting prepared for cybersecurity jobs and didn't studies coding or DSA and in my clg no cyber company came

now i'm searching job offcampus

but i'm totally lost idk what to do

i want to make career in cybersecurity and i have some basic knowldge and practical

i did pentesting labs, doinf THM CTFS, build a log analysis project in an internship

have good understanding of basic fundamentals like computer networks (TCP.ip, osi model, subnetting, arp, dns, routers, etc)

and used some tools like (nmap, metasploit, wireshark, eattercap, etc)

and some SIEM tools (basic Splunk, wazuh,)

and i applied for 100-200 application for entry level cyber security analyst jobs

even though i'm more focused in offensive security and pentesting

i have some knowledge of SOC so i apply for that also cause that is the only job entry level get a chance to selected

but i'm even getting rejected in that also

most of the jobs are ghost jobs i even tailor my resume according to JD and matches my skill requirement still no reply comes

i agree i didn't have any cert

except google cyber sec professional and cisco ethical hacking

but i'm preparing for comptia sec+

and i hear even this cert will not garuenttie my selecting

maybe i have to do more certs

at this time when i'm graduated from clg and didn't get placed and if i go for cert it might take me 5-6 months to land for any job which is also not garuentie or even more time

and to avoid any career gaps i even though to change from cyber to devlopment

although i have no interest in coding and dev but they have more opening and hirings than cyber jobs

now i'm confussed if i should only focus on cyber or focus on both to even get a job

also i did video editing as side hustle in clg

now after seeing the job market i think i should do freelance video editing

atleast i can have some hope and earnings
