What Islamic book would you recommend to every Muslim?

Something huge is coming @d0znpp @apisecu @apisec_ai

• Cisco Packet Tracer is free (for learners). • Wireshark is free. • GNS3 is free. • Open vSwitch is free. • Linux networking tools (ip, netstat, ss, traceroute, tcpdump) are free. • Cloud free tiers (AWS, Azure, GCP labs) exist. • Subnet calculators, routing labs, and practice VMs are free. You don’t need expensive gear to understand Networking. Just a laptop, internet, and consistency. Start building real packets, not excuses.

Cisco has announced CCNA v2.0! The switchover from v1.1 to v2.0 happens on February 3, 2027, so you still have 8 months to take v1.1 - plenty of time! You could start from 0 today and pass v1.1 in time, so DON'T PANIC! Give me some time to analyze the updated topics and think about it, and then I'll make some videos about v2.0 and my plans for it. I think it's a very good update, cutting out some of the more "painful" topics for CCNA students. The new topics focus heavily on configuration and troubleshooting.

Put in the reps. Save this and share it with someone trying to break into cybersecurity. Repost for others to see.

Stop scrolling if you care about the future of music. 🧵 We just moved from "random AI noise" to pro-grade controllable music creation. @TadAI_official just dropped their 2.1 update, and it’s powered by Mureka V9—which Artificial Analysis officially ranked as the #1 AI music model globally for vocals and instrumentation. The sound quality isn't just "good for AI"—it sounds like a finished studio track. But the real game-changer is Reference Mode. Instead of typing 50 prompts hoping for a good beat, you can just upload a reference track. Tad AI decouples the audio, letting you steal just the melody or the exact vocal style to build something completely fresh. They also added a high-fidelity AI Cover & remastering feature that turns rough ideas into full-scale productions in clicks. The AI music race is officially moving at warp speed, and Tad 2.1 just set a brand new standard. #TadAI #AIMusic #TadAIMusicGenerator

The state of the country is bad, but that should never be an excuse for robbery. This is the second time I’ve been robbed in broad daylight, and on both occasions, all my gadgets were taken from me. These gadgets are my source of livelihood. It’s painful knowing that everything
