Well, it has been a while since I posted about my #FromZeroToHacker challenge here.
No, I haven’t stopped learning about hacking and everything. In fact, the opposite.
Right now I’m doing a 1-year course in Cybersecurity, from a proper place. From Monday to Friday, I’m doing the equivalent of a postgraduate, but for a trade school. A specialization sort of study I guess.
Every day I study for 5 hours in the afternoon about Security incidents, Net and Systems hardening, Security Production (all the CI/CD stuff), Forensic Analysis, Ethical Hacking and Normative.
Problems
It has been a blast, but also quite hard, as we have two types of Cybersecurity students: The ones that come from the Dev side (creating scripts to automate things, reading HTML/Javascript/PHP/Python/etc code from an application or a website, mobile app developing) and the ones that come from a Networking side (setting up Networkis, configuring routers, etc).
As I have a Developer background, the programming stuff is easy by now (we haven’t done too much, sadly), but the lack of knowledge in Networking stuff is pretty hard to deal with.
Solutions
So, to deal with a lack of knowledge in that subject and also learn the day-to-day stuff, I have to dedicate a lot of hours (on top of 5 hours of classes, daily) to fix that problem.
Googling stuff, watching hours and hours of videos, etc.
This is taking me a lot of time, and that’s why I haven’t been able to post more often here. Also, I’m not touching TryHackMe.com too much, as I have to cover the basics of the current Cybersecurity first. That, on top of the normal day-to-day stuff (doing groceries, cleaning, etc).
What now?
I’ll start posting again but, instead of posts that take me too much time (taking notes, writing the post, making sure it doesn’t have too many typos…), I’m going to post here the resources I’m using. From videos to PDF files, courses, books, articles, etc. And I’ll keep it free whenever I can, and very cheap (just a few €) when not.
It is going to be less about me and what I am learning, and more about resources you may be interested in, especially if you are just beginning your Cybersecurity learning.
Starting tomorrow.
