This is my fifth post in the #100daysofcode challenge series. On this page I will detail what I have covered during days 41 to 50.
A reminder of the rules for the challenge:
I started this section of the challenge by completing the fifth and final D3.js challenge on freeCodeCamp to earn my Data Visualisation Certification
Spent the day working on my personal website to catalogue what I had achieved during days 31 to 40.
I made a start on the information security path on freeCodeCamp. I set up a Node.js environment locally and on Heroku in order to learn more about securing Express.js applications using Helmet.
Continuing with the freeCodeCamp information security path, I was able to add XSS filtering, HTTPS only headers and cache control to a Express.js application using Helmet.
I completed all of the Express.js related challenges on freeCodeCamp’s information security learning path. Tomorrow I’ll make a start learning about PenTesting tools with Python.
Completed all of the Python PenTesting challenges on freeCodeCamp. I learnt about building a TCP client with Python, developed my own nmap scanner and built a port scanner.
Before making a start on the freeCodeCamp challenges for information security, I had a look at a few of the Linux challenges on OverTheWire.org. I got as far as bandit13 on the site. Still a ways to go to get to level 34, I’ll have to come back to this!
Made a start on the first information security project challenge on freeCodeCamp. Created a new Heroku deployment for an Express.js stock checking web app which I’ll need to build and deploy.
The GitHub repository for this project can be found here.
Continued work on my stock checking project, I’m now able to return real time data about stocks listed on the NYSE. The next step will be to add a database to this system so I’m able to track user’s favourite stocks to pass the freeCodeCamp project assignment.
Lazy Sunday, spent some time updating this website with my progress over days 41 to 50.
