1
00:00:00,530 --> 00:00:05,230
Maintaining security privacy and anonymity can be a complex thing.

2
00:00:05,330 --> 00:00:12,080
In order to achieve good security good privacy and to be anonymous you must understand detail.

3
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,210
So the course goes in depth.

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,810
It is both broad and in depth.

5
00:00:16,820 --> 00:00:24,350
Any course that just touches on the surface of security will leave gaps and any gap makes you vulnerable.

6
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:30,890
So any Course attempts to help protect you online has to have some depth and breadth to it or it would

7
00:00:30,890 --> 00:00:33,880
fail to teach you enough so you can protect yourself on line.

8
00:00:33,890 --> 00:00:38,370
But just because the topic is in-depth and complex doesn't mean it's not possible to learn.

9
00:00:38,390 --> 00:00:42,200
If you find the topic interesting then that's all you'll need.

10
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:48,560
I recommend making notes read around the topics we cover and feel free to ask questions when you have

11
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:48,850
them.

12
00:00:48,850 --> 00:00:56,320
I provide lots of external references to Web sites reports news articles Wikipedia and so on.

13
00:00:56,390 --> 00:00:58,990
It's not necessary to read them all.

14
00:00:59,060 --> 00:01:03,870
These are just for further reading if you want to go further into the topic.

15
00:01:04,010 --> 00:01:10,550
I also recommend setting up a test environment in order to practice what you learn and I'll teach you

16
00:01:10,550 --> 00:01:14,240
how to set up a test environment later on in the course.

17
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,880
One of the best ways to learn is to learn to teach someone else.

18
00:01:17,930 --> 00:01:24,440
If you have in your mind that you need to teach what you are learning to someone else after or actually

19
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,170
do teach someone else that will really help you retain what you learn.

20
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:36,320
According to a psychology report learners retain approximately 90 percent of what they learn when they

21
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:40,160
teach someone else or if they use it immediately.

22
00:01:40,220 --> 00:01:45,220
Which is why I recommend you learn it from the perspective that you're going to teach someone else or

23
00:01:45,460 --> 00:01:51,550
teach someone else and you set up the test environment so you can use these things immediately.

24
00:01:51,590 --> 00:01:55,370
This is not a course you just to watch and listen and then forget.

25
00:01:55,370 --> 00:02:02,060
This is a course for you to actually learn and then be able to practically apply and also learn and

26
00:02:02,060 --> 00:02:07,970
retain approximately 75 percent of what they learn when they practice what they learn and you can see

27
00:02:07,970 --> 00:02:09,690
some of the other statistics here.

28
00:02:12,690 --> 00:02:17,160
There are many referenced items in this cause and most of them are free.

29
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,770
I made an effort to make sure that they are free.

30
00:02:19,830 --> 00:02:26,940
But you may want to purchase additional software hardware and services that are discussed in this course

31
00:02:27,210 --> 00:02:28,470
and example could be.

32
00:02:28,470 --> 00:02:35,550
You want to buy a VPN or you want an email service or you want to buy a hardware router or you want

33
00:02:35,550 --> 00:02:38,700
to pay for a virtual machine and so on.

34
00:02:38,820 --> 00:02:44,160
Although it's absolutely not necessary to buy anything to understand this course I'm just letting you

35
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:50,610
know that you may wish to make additional purchases after you learn certain topics and I have no affiliation

36
00:02:50,610 --> 00:02:54,100
with any of the products that are discussed in this course.

37
00:02:54,110 --> 00:02:59,750
They are only what I recommend or what are required to know about in order to understand the topic.

38
00:02:59,770 --> 00:03:05,790
I cover different operating systems on the course and it may be you never have any intention to use

39
00:03:05,940 --> 00:03:10,680
a particular operating system that I'm talking about when I am talking about a particular operating

40
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:11,130
system.

41
00:03:11,130 --> 00:03:17,250
I make it clear most often in the title so you can potentially miss those videos if you wish.

42
00:03:17,260 --> 00:03:19,120
Like for example Windows 10.

43
00:03:19,140 --> 00:03:21,880
You may never have any intention to use that.

44
00:03:21,900 --> 00:03:27,230
So therefore there may be no point in watching a video that teaches you how to change the privacy settings.

45
00:03:27,300 --> 00:03:32,330
So as I said you might choose to skip those sections as they're not relevant to you.

46
00:03:32,330 --> 00:03:33,350
But that's up to you.

47
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:38,910
I don't recommend you skip the sections on Linux particularly because when it comes to serious security

48
00:03:38,970 --> 00:03:45,600
and privacy the Linux and Linux type operating systems really are required and some final advise take

49
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:46,820
affirmative action.

50
00:03:46,830 --> 00:03:49,600
Knowledge is no good if it's not applied.

51
00:03:49,620 --> 00:03:55,830
Most people will listen to some of this course and apply only a bit of it but if the consequences of

52
00:03:55,830 --> 00:04:02,370
a breach in your security privacy or anonymity is high then you have to take affirmative action and

53
00:04:02,370 --> 00:04:05,310
apply the techniques I teach you here.

54
00:04:05,460 --> 00:04:11,130
And finally my hope is that the information in this cause will be used positively to improve people's

55
00:04:11,130 --> 00:04:18,150
freedom security privacy and NMT and above all liberty please do no harm with this information and stay

56
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:25,560
illegal once you have completed each volume you can get a certificate of completion signed by me which

57
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,770
you can see here in front of you.

58
00:04:27,810 --> 00:04:33,540
This provides the relevant information that you need to earn something called continuous professional

59
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:34,680
education credits.

60
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,390
Or C P E.

61
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:41,630
These are the qualifications that you might have now or you may wish to get in the future.

62
00:04:41,700 --> 00:04:47,360
So Job security PLOS says CIA say CIA s.m and so on.

63
00:04:47,370 --> 00:04:54,360
So if you want your CPA points once you have completed this volume and the other volumes meet your request

64
00:04:54,420 --> 00:05:01,470
for the certificate here this you Arel the service is provided free of charge but do allow 28 days for

65
00:05:01,470 --> 00:05:03,410
the certificate to be processed.

66
00:05:03,450 --> 00:05:06,840
All four volumes of this course amount to actually over 50 hours.

67
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:10,910
That's actually a lot of CPE credits if you want to know CPS.

68
00:05:11,070 --> 00:05:14,880
So good that you're able when you've completed each volume.
