I learned how to&nbsp;identify&nbsp;patterns in data, verify findings, and understand how operating systems store and manage information.&nbsp;I find that these skills&nbsp;relate to my career goals in cybersecurity and especially in areas such as digital investigations and incident response.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;This course has helped&nbsp;prepared&nbsp;me for future roles by giving me the&nbsp;hands on&nbsp;experience needed to work with these tools and use these techniques that are done in the field. It has&nbsp;as well&nbsp;strengthened my ability to work independently and analyze complex problems.&nbsp;With the knowledge I have obtained from this course, this will allow me to approach real world scenarios in cybersecurity challenges with a more structured and analytical mindset as well as confidence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/arianlovo1289\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37178\/2026\/05\/plabwin10_1dd98132-a174-421a-86a2-04b689db419a_7.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/arianlovo1289\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37178\/2026\/05\/plabwin10_1dd98132-a174-421a-86a2-04b689db419a_7.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/arianlovo1289\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37178\/2026\/05\/plabwin10_1dd98132-a174-421a-86a2-04b689db419a_7-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/arianlovo1289\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37178\/2026\/05\/plabwin10_1dd98132-a174-421a-86a2-04b689db419a_7-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/arianlovo1289\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37178\/2026\/05\/plabwin10_1dd98132-a174-421a-86a2-04b689db419a_7-541x406.png 541w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This artifact works by showing how I analyze and search through indexed data.
