My employer had us install a software called "fleet osquery", they said it's a first step toward inventory management of all the devices for IT. I guess it also adds a layer of safety by making sure nobody installs any dangerous software/malware on their work devices.

Looking at the docs , it looks like this can be used to remotely execute scripts on my laptop, should I be worried about my employer spying on me during work hours ? Or logging information about what I'm doing ?

I'm assuming they're mass sending these to people in a specific area code and hoping to steal credit card info.

Obviously don't go to the URL in the picture

(His videos are often very lengthy and beating around the bush, so here is a short summary)


  1. Learn basics of IT, Hardware, Software, OS, Networking

Like CompTIA A+, Networking+, Security+ Certificates (they have educational material, no need to do the test)

  1. Learn how big security is, security domains

How they work together

  1. Try Overcome Imposter Syndrome

Focus on what you want to do and what you can

  1. Hobby vs. Career

Separate identities to prevent burnout. You shouldnt work your hobby all the time, I guess

  1. Work with tools to increase productivity (and use ads lol)

  2. Join the InfoSec community

Learn from another, projects, conferences

  1. Take one step at a time
