I’m currently a 3rd year BTech Cybersecurity student in India, and honestly my college still hasn’t taught much practical stuff yet. Most of what we’ve learned is theory, while I’m more interested in actually building cybersecurity skills practically. Right now I know basic Linux usage, have used VMs, and I’m trying to build a proper roadmap for cybersecurity. My long-term goal is to move toward the offensive side of cybersecurity, especially penetration testing and eventually red teaming. I want to learn things like: - web security - PortSwigger labs - TryHackMe - scripting - networking - practical pentesting concepts I was also interested in OSINT, but I honestly couldn’t find many reliable beginner-friendly resources or a proper roadmap for learning it seriously. Currently I feel like I’m missing strong fundamentals and structure, which is why I was considering buying a beginner bundle from Tutedude that includes: - Linux - Python - Cybersecurity fundamentals - Ethical Hacking Mainly because I want: - structured learning, - roadmap clarity, - beginner fundamentals, - and enough knowledge to become capable of learning independently afterward and prepare for internships/placements. The bundle is around my budget (~₹1500), which is why I’m considering it. One more thing is that I only have around 8–10 months before placement season starts, so I want to focus on the most useful and realistic path instead of wasting time jumping randomly between resources. But I’m also a bit suspicious because whenever I search reviews, I mostly find either extremely positive posts with referral codes or deleted criticism threads. So I wanted honest opinions from people already in cybersecurity. A few things I wanted to ask: Are there better courses/platforms under ₹1500 for a beginner in my situation? Is Tutedude actually useful for fundamentals or mostly marketing hype? How legit/useful is their refund policy in real experience? If I complete such beginner courses, what should my next learning path look like afterward? Should I directly move into PortSwigger/TryHackMe after that, or focus more on networking/Linux/Python depth first? Also, are there any good reliable resources/roadmaps for learning OSINT properly as a beginner? Considering I only have around 8–10 months before placements, what skills/projects should I prioritize the most for internships or entry-level offensive security roles? I’m NOT expecting a “become hacker in 2 months” course. I mainly want a strong enough base so I can learn independently without constantly feeling lost. Would really appreciate honest advice, especially from people already working/interning in cybersecurity or offensive security. TL;DR: 3rd year BTech Cybersecurity student wanting to start learning practical cybersecurity concepts for offensive security/pentesting. Looking for suggestions for good beginner resources/roadmaps and whether Tutedude is a good step to begin with for building fundamentals and internship preparation. submitted by /u/Flat_Astronaut1413 to r/cybersecurityindia [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some honest advice regarding choosing Cybersecurity as a career path for my sister (she’s about to start college in the 2026–2027 academic year). We’re trying to understand whether Cybersecurity is a good long-term option (next 5–10 years), especially in terms of: Job demand and stability Salary growth Required skills (technical depth, certifications, etc.) Difficulty level compared to other tech fields She is interested in technology but not 100% sure about heavy coding yet. Would you recommend: A dedicated Cybersecurity degree, or A general Computer Science degree + Cybersecurity specialization later? Also, what should she start learning now (before college) to get a strong foundation? Looking for real experiences, not just generic advice. Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/SwimmingExpensive107 to r/CScareerquestionsSEA [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, I’m interested in getting into cybersecurity but I’m starting from zero (no IT background). I’d like to eventually work in this field, but I’m not sure what the best first steps are. Should I start with networking basics, certifications, or specific platforms/courses? Also, what would a realistic beginner roadmap look like for someone starting from scratch? submitted by /u/cloud-dove1 to r/learncybersecurity [link] [comments]

Hey everyone, I’m currently getting into cybersecurity and looking to build a minor project that’s actually useful and not just theory-based. I have basic programming knowledge (mainly Python) and some understanding of networking/Linux. I was thinking about setting up a small home lab (Kali + vulnerable machine + monitoring tools) to simulate attacks and defenses, but I’m not sure if that’s beginner-friendly enough or if there are better project ideas to start with. Would love some suggestions for beginner-friendly cybersecurity projects that: involve real implementation help build practical skills look good on a resume If you’ve done something similar (like a homelab, phishing detector, vuln scanner, etc.), please share your experience or roadmap 🙏 Thanks submitted by /u/Ddraibion312 to r/Hacking_Tutorials [link] [comments]

I’m a student trying to start a career in cybersecurity and I want to be more intentional about what I study early on. I’m looking for online courses that are genuinely worth the time to build strong fundamentals , things like Linux, networking, operating systems, Windows internals, and core security concepts. My main focus right now is learning practical skills that will actually matter long-term, not just surface-level theory. I’ve been exploring different learning platforms and training programs, including TrainSec, which looks very hands-on and more advanced, so I’m planning to come back to that once my foundation is stronger. If you were starting over today as a student, what courses or learning paths would you recommend to build a solid cybersecurity foundation? submitted by /u/glorius_shrooms to r/Cybersecurity101 [link] [comments]

TLDR I spent two years following the usual Security Plus then Network Plus then CCNA path and it did not give me real cybersecurity skills. What really helped was hands on training like Hack The Box defensive or offensive paths plus basic programming and strong research skills. Do not rush. Learn slowly. Use ChatGPT only to clarify concepts not to solve labs for you. Introduction I want to share something for anyone starting in cybersecurity. I spent two years learning and failing and taking random courses without guidance. Everything here is based on my personal experience and I simply wish someone had told me this earlier. About the usual beginner certificates Like many people I started with the classic sequence Security Plus then Network Plus then CCNA. These certificates are not completely useless. They can help some people build a general IT foundation or give structure if you have no background. But for me they did not prepare me for real security work. Security Plus was mostly governance and theory. Network Plus was very basic. CCNA focused on being a network engineer not a security analyst. People often say you need these certificates to understand the OSI model or the TCP model. Honestly you can learn the basic idea of OSI and TCP from one good video or article. And even after all the learning and labs I have done I can tell you it is very hard to directly map real attacks to OSI layers in your daily work. Almost nobody does this except very advanced people with many years of experience and even then it is in a very indirect way. For beginners you only need a simple high level picture of what each layer does. Because of that using OSI as the main reason to take long and expensive entry level certificates does not make much sense in my opinion. You will get much more value from real labs and real security work. What actually matters: real practice After taking stronger certifications like OffSec OSDA and INE eCIR I understood the real problem. Beginners do not lack theory. They lack practice. You really learn cybersecurity when you attack systems and defend them and investigate incidents and fix things in real labs. This is where everything starts to make sense. The best starting point I can honestly recommend For a beginner I strongly recommend starting with Hack The Box Academy. Defensive path https://academy.hackthebox.com/preview/certifications/htb-certified-defensive-security-analyst Offensive path https://academy.hackthebox.com/preview/certifications/htb-certified-penetration-testing-specialist These two paths are general starting points. You choose defense or offense based on your personal interest. No one can decide the right choice for you and both are valid. What I personally did as my own path In my own journey I completed OffSec OSDA. It was the best and strongest course I have ever taken in my life. After finishing it I finally understood how cybersecurity really works as a whole and how the different parts connect together. Because of that clarity I was able to recognize that DFIR is the field that fits me the most. So OSDA helped me see my direction but that was my personal path not a rule for everyone. However OffSec is extremely expensive. The only reason I could take OSDA is because my organization paid for the full package including two exam attempts. With their strong training I passed in about three months. For most beginners the price is not realistic. So even if the quality is amazing I do not recommend my exact path as a starting point. Why Hack The Box is a more realistic start While preparing for OSDA I used Hack The Box labs and they were excellent. Sometimes the hands on training even felt stronger. They are also much more affordable and their reputation in the security community is growing fast. The skills you get there are real and respected. From what I remember they might have separate plans for labs and courses or bundles that combine both so please check their current options because my information is a few months old. Struggling at first is normal You will probably struggle with these courses at the beginning. Not because you are stupid but because you are building your foundations from zero. This is normal. Whether you choose offense or defense the first phase will feel heavy and confusing. That is simply how your brain builds a new structure. Keep going and after some time the concepts will start to connect together. How your path becomes clear later Something important happens after you finish one of these paths. Your career direction becomes much clearer. You finally understand how the cybersecurity field works and how roles connect to each other. For me once I finished OSDA I could clearly see that DFIR is my path for you it might be governance incident response blue team or something else. The key point is that real hands on exposure makes your path appear naturally not through theory but through experience. A note about programming basics I also assume that you have at least basic programming knowledge. You do not need to be a developer but you should understand simple things like variables and conditions and loops in a language such as C plus plus or Java or Python. Without these fundamentals some of the security courses will feel like a nightmare. With them the content becomes much easier to understand. How to use ChatGPT in a healthy way Please do not use ChatGPT to solve labs or write answers for you. If you let AI do the work you will not build your own analytical muscles. Use ChatGPT only to explain concepts in a simpler way or to clarify something that you already tried to understand by yourself. Learning how to research on your own is one of the most important skills in cybersecurity. Reading documentation and articles and searching smartly is a core skill for any SOC analyst or security engineer. Build this skill early. Respect slow learning Cybersecurity cannot be learned in a hurry. Take your time. Learn slowly. Feeling lost and stuck and confused is completely normal at the beginning. If you stay consistent with slow and steady learning for a few months your progress will surprise you and seniors will be able to see your growth through your work. Conclusion with clear steps Choose one path on Hack The Box defensive or offensive and commit to it. Study the material and labs slowly every day for at least three months while building basic programming and research skills. Use Google and documentation first and use ChatGPT only to clarify ideas that you still do not understand. If you do this you will build a solid foundation much faster than you expect. This is just my experience. It can be right or wrong. But it is exactly what I wish someone had told me when I first started. submitted by /u/kratos2k2k to r/cybersecurity [link] [comments]

Hey everyone, I just got the opportunity from my company to take some certification courses (they’ll cover the costs). The thing is — I currently have no certifications and I’m just getting started in cybersecurity. I’m trying to figure out which certifications would make the most sense to start with — both for building a solid foundation and for career growth. A bit about me: Currently working in IT with a growing interest in security Have some hands-on experience with Windows, networking, and Microsoft 365 Finished my bachelor in cybersecurity I’ve heard about things like CompTIA Security+, Network+, Google Cybersecurity, ISC2 CC, and Microsoft SC-900, but I’m not sure which path makes the most sense for a total beginner. submitted by /u/heartgoldt20 to r/cybersecurity [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, I’m completely new to tech and cybersecurity, and I want to start learning from scratch. I don’t have any prior coding, networking, or IT experience — I’m starting at zero. My goal is to eventually become a skilled ethical hacker or cybersecurity professional, but I honestly don’t even know where to begin. I’ve heard of things like Linux, networking, Python, and penetration testing, but it all feels overwhelming right now. Can anyone give me a step-by-step roadmap or suggest the best resources, courses, or platforms for a total beginner like me? Ideally, something practical with hands-on labs so I can actually start building skills, not just theory. Also, any tips on how to structure my learning so I can progress efficiently would be amazing. Thanks in advance for any advice — I really want to commit to this journey and need guidance from people who’ve been there. submitted by /u/Old_Astronomer_9163 to r/Hacking_Tutorials [link] [comments]

Over the past months I’ve been building something I really wish existed when I first got into cybersecurity: a Cybersecurity Mastery Roadmap. The idea was simple, put everything in one place, from the basics all the way to advanced concepts, so learners don’t have to struggle with figuring out what to learn next or where to find reliable resources. The roadmap is broken down into phases that guide you step by step. It starts with the foundation phase, covering core IT knowledge and security basics, then moves into technical skills like networking, operating systems, scripting, and essential tools. From there, learners can explore specialization paths whether pentesting, blue team, forensics, or other areas and later dive into advanced topics like security research. To round it all out, I also included professional development guidance, certifications, and community recommendations. On top of that, the repo features curated lists of cybersecurity tools, hands-on labs, learning platforms, CTF competitions, and research resources. Basically, the goal is to make it easier for anyone whether you’re a beginner or already working in the field to follow a structured journey without feeling overwhelmed by the massive amount of scattered info out there. The project has already gained some nice traction (670+ GitHub stars 🎉), and I’d love to get feedback from this community on how to improve it further. Are there tools, resources, or phases you think should be added? Check it out in Comments 👇 submitted by /u/NullPointerMood_1 to r/SecurityCareerAdvice [link] [comments]

Hey folks 👋 I recently built my very first home lab to improve my skills in cybersecurity, networking, and self-hosting. After spending weeks tweaking and learning, I finally made a setup that I’m quite happy with. Here’s what I’m running on a Lenovo M920q (20 GB RAM): Proxmox as the base hypervisor pfSense for routing and firewall Wazuh for log monitoring and SIEM practice Pi-hole for DNS filtering Jellyfin as a media server Some lightweight Docker containers Some highlights: Used an Intel i350-T2 NIC with a PCIe riser (one of the trickiest parts!) Created isolated VLANs (for my wife's work laptop and for lab traffic) External USB drive for media storage Planning to expand into monitoring attacks and blue-team practices I also made a short YouTube video explaining the build and how everything connects. It’s more of a walkthrough than a tutorial, and I’d really appreciate any feedback you might have 🙌 🔗 https://youtu.be/fd5_xSUDnOM Let me know what you think, or if I can clarify anything! submitted by /u/Bitter_Highlight_215 to r/homelab [link] [comments]

After having a large sum of money stolen in a cyber attack, I recently started taking cyber privacy and security a lot more seriously. I have officially switched from iPhone to GrapheneOS on a Google Pixel 8 and have been using it successfully for about a month. I know fully de-googling is not realistic for everybody so I wanted to share the things I've implemented ranked by difficulty. This way people wanting to dip their toe in the water can start at level 1 and go as far as they feel comfortable. I am still learning on this journey as well and would welcome any feedback for ways I can improve. Level 1: No Excuses Stop reusing passwords use a password manager to generate and store random, unique, secure passwords as well as two-factor authentication codes I prefer Proton Pass, it allows you to store unlimited passwords for free write down your master password and keep it somewhere safe Create an email account exclusively for financial institutions don't give out this email address except for your most important accounts use two-factor authentication as an extra layer of protection this is a great way to get started using a privacy focused email such as Proton Mail remember, if you are using a Gmail account through the Apple mail app, both Google and Apple are reading all of your emails Use a privacy-focused web browser and search engine I recommend Brave browser as it has a built in blocker for ads and trackers as well as many other advanced privacy features I use DuckDuckGo for search but there are lots of great options for both browsers and search engines Level 2: Stop giving out your email address freely the free version of Proton Pass allows you to create 10 unique email aliases, and unlimited with a subscription by giving out a unique email each time it makes it a lot harder for hackers to get into your accounts if your unique email address is sold or leaked you will know which company compromised your data if you are getting spammed you can disable the email alias with a simple toggle switch Apple offers unlimited email aliases via hide-my-email, but keep in mind Apple also reads all your emails created this way Use a VPN, especially on public networks this is easy to do and gives you an extra level of privacy by masking your IP address Proton VPN can be used on one device completely free and is available on mobile Disconnect smart devices when possible there are countless cases of privacy invasion via smart devices, and they can also be a weak point in a network for hackers to exploit a billion dollar heist was committed by sending malware through a printer Level 3: Update your Wi-Fi password from the default on the router go do it now Subscribe to a data broker removal service this is the only service on this list that can't be done for free I have used Incogni for about two years and it is super effective when searching my name on Google half the links used to give out my current and past home address, email address, and phone number they have removed my data from over 800 data brokers and now my personal info doesn't come up on Google and spam calls are super rare if you use my referral discount code that would be cool too: incogni.cello.so/Dmm94hW7hGp Enable number lock with your phone service provider this prevents your phone number from being switched to a new phone without additional verification this is known as a SIM swap attack and can be used to bypass two-factor authentication Level 4: These will take a bit more effort to implement but are worth the efforts Remove your personal info from Google manually if your personal info is listed on Google you can submit a request to remove your info from the search here: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/9673730 Place a security freeze on your credit you can create a free account with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion and initiate a credit freeze this will prevent hard credit checks and can be easily lifted any time if needed this prevents somebody else from opening an account in your name and racking up debt, which may be a lot more common than you think it also protects against unexpected credit checks lowering your credit score Go through your privacy settings on your phone, computer, web browser, Google account, Apple account, etc. carefully consider what data you are willing to share there are many videos online to help you decide which settings you can turn off to extend battery life and protect privacy by default, most services collect, buy, sell, and trade your data. Take the steps to opt-out wherever you can Level 5: For the tech savvy Switch to GrapheneOS switching from Apple to Graphene was actually a lot easier and smoother than I expected there is a learning curve, and I cannot recommend it unless you are tech savvy and enjoy exploring all the corners of a software for almost every paid service on Apple there is a free and open-source alternative on GrapheneOS there have been some sacrifices switching from Apple, but there are many improvements as well. The trade-off has been worth it for the increased level of privacy and security it provides Thank you for reading. These are all things I have implemented and I hope they will help you too. submitted by /u/Teursu116 to r/degoogle [link] [comments]

G'day everyone, My 14-year-old son has recently developed a strong interest in cybersecurity, and I want to help him find good free resources to learn the basics. He’s really eager to dive in, but he’s struggling to find beginner-friendly material—especially since most structured courses seem geared toward those with an IT background or a degree. I’d love to hear from the community about any free online courses, websites, hands-on labs, YouTube channels, or interactive learning platforms that would be a good starting point for a teenager who’s curious and motivated to learn. Ideally, I’m looking for content that’s engaging, beginner-friendly, and helps build foundational skills in areas like ethical hacking, network security, OSINT, or general cybersecurity principles. If you’ve got any recommendations—whether it’s CTF challenges, gamified platforms, or just solid beginner guides—I’d really appreciate it! Also any good "networking for beginners" references? Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/Any_War_322 to r/cybersecurity [link] [comments]
