Hey! Hackers wassup.
My Name is Anshul and I was an average student from Commerce background.
I completed my graduation in Bcom(Hons). But the question is how and why I landed into IT ?
So basically, I was eager to learn about how people hack the system. And No, you don’t need advanced coding to learn hacking.
I read so many blogs and watched tons of videos but can’t decide how to start.
How to Kick-Start your Cyber-Security Career from any background
First thing first. complete your graduation from any technical background (but it is not mandatory).
Networking
Learn Networking, it is the fundamental key . I learned networking from youtube course by Technical guft-gu. As I am an Indian and know Hindi-language.
Although there are many videos you can watch in English as well.
Then do 2 Certifications :
- NSE-1
- NSE-2
Once you complete this.
You can go on to next step.
Tryhackme.com
Trust me this is one of the best site from where you can learn cybersecurity in layman language.
It contains various modules, but you need to start from Pre-Security Module then Web-Fundamentals.
After that you will be able to decide weather you want to go in Defensive Side (Protect The System) or Offensive Side (Attacking).
It is having free modules (Pre-security & web fundamentals are free) but for more it costs $10.50/month.
Its worth it, I learned it from here.
HacktheBox
After completing modules , go for CTF (capture the flag), to enhance your skills.
It boosts your skills 8x.
Internships
Now create a resume add all the topics you have learned and start searching fro internships.
We gonna posts on this website free for you, where you can actually get the stipend too.
Although if you want to do paid internship, you can go on to safernternetproject.com
Experience
Now you have all the skills required and internship (Atleast 6 months) and you are good to go.
Job
Now you are ready to do your job.
Summary
These are all the steps that I followed and got success.
I hope you will get the same.
Good Luck For your Future.
Happy Hacking.
