"Don't we just love those lazy admins!"
This is going to be a quick walkthrough and brain dump of my experience going through THM LazyAdmin. I am not above using hints. This is all a growing and learning experience for me. This was one of the suggested boxes for Capstone in TCM Security's Linux Privesc Course.

"Initial Review of HTB Academy"
Over the past month or two I've been using HackTheBox Academy to earn my CPEs for CISSP. It's been quite enjoyable. I really enjoy the layout of their modules. Some could use some work but, it's a newer platform. Some modules take some time. As of currently the answers to everything are not plastered everywhere like THM. Though, I really enjoy the documentation with each module. They touch on learning styles a lot.
I really value the end of each module where they have a easy, medium, and hard hands-on assessment where you have to identify specific things. They could touch on things from previous sections of the course or some instances previous modules and they expect you to build on each module. I actually enjoy reading their modules whereas usually I dont even reading that indepth.
I've made it through half of the Penetration Tester Pathway. It also does not have a plastered rank system and harps on learning versus boasting a rank. I value the ability to learn. I can bounce over to the HTB Platform and own a few boxes there if I want to earn ranks and whatnot. Though, some people value that I just like the content. I still use both platforms because they are cheap enough and It's nice to not have all your eggs in one basket.

"Just Couple Oddly built Python Scripts"
I had to piece together some old data from some of my various Python Projects. I came accross this gem. A few years ago I had to put together a Python script that could do some basic arithemetic. Much like every aspiring student or even professional developers, I most likely "aquirred" some of this code from lovely sources.

## Charles Goodling## PowerCalc.py## 04-16-17## Assignment 7## This program will ask a user for two inputs. First input will be the base number then the second## will be the exponent or power the user would like the calculator to solve. This calculator works## for negatives and positive bases and powers.## For Example, User inputs 2 for Base and 2 for Power. The calculator outputs 4.## I tried to make sure I covered all posible inputs and answers. I like to code and it makes things## more challenging to do more than requested. So I apologize if I went above the requirements.
