Hello there,

I'm Jameel An ECE Student and Cybersecurity Enthusiast

I Will Keep Updating This Blog in Future as i get more experiences so Remember To keep Checking out this BLOG

If you are a beginner and wanted to start your carrer in Cybersecurity and want some guidance?

You are at right place :)

Even if the content of my blog is only at an intermediate level, I feel compelled to share this difficult path in the hopes that it could benefit one of you.

And Let's Start

Well let me guess what you're thinking first!

Fed up of which domain to choose?

Confused where to start?

Excess of Resources and does'nt know how to learn?

Does this domain have more job scope?

Kya ye Field mai paisa hai?

That's correct I went through the similar stage as well, and I have many inquiries.

I'll share my personal experience with you, along with advice on how to deal with it and learn more quickly.

Choose a Domain

The field of cybersecurity is incredibly broad, therefore choosing a domain is your first and biggest obstacle. You'll be wondering which domain has the most money.If you're worrying about money instead of studying, you're in a massive trap. As a newbie and fresher, why not focus on a topic that has future potential instead of thinking about money?

Try to study the fundamentals of each and every field, then pick one that interests you.

After following this roadmap you'll get to know which domain to choose in Cybersecurity, i started with Web application Penetration testing and now I'm currently Learning Network security and Security operation centre (SOC) Skills

where should I begin learning?

Roadmap I've Followed

first Clear you're Basics

These are fundamentals that apply to all fields. How will you be able to understand the advanced topics if the fundamentals are unclear?

ALL IN ONE - YOUTUBE

  1. NETWORKING BASICS - Resources , Resources2

  2. LINUX FUNDAMENTALS -Resources

  3. Cybersecurity Essentials - Resources 1 - Resources 2 - Resources 3

  4. ETHICAL HACKING - Resources

    After This You will Know the Different Domains in Cybersecurity and Then select a Domain of Your choice

  5. Python Fundamentals - Problem solving level

  6. ** Javascript - very Helpful

  7. Practical Ethical Hacking (TCM Security) - I'ts Paid But if you're smart enough you can grab the resources

Best Roadmap Ahead -->

This Roadmap Was Prepared by me and i Verified this Roamap with Industry Professionals

If you choose Penetration testing This may help you a little!!(Offensive)

RESOURCES

I will Add more Resources in Future so Keep looking into this Drive Folder

While doing all this Also Solve TryHackme , Portswigger and Hack the box ROOMS/LABS

And the most important focus on OWASP TOP 10

i've heared that OWASP TOP 10 Questions have been Asked almost every interviews , it's like a judging factor wheather you are fit to this role or not

How to learn Effectively?

If you're going for penetration testing or Red teaming this the the most useful

methods i've implemented

Very Useful Method To learn!!

** vvimp Tip : First Learn Theorytical Concept and Understand it Break That concept into simpler parts after Focus on Practical Part , for example at the end you should be able to explain that concept to an non technical person

  1. One Software at a time

  2. One Vulnerabiity at a time

  3. One Methodology at a time

Just listen this playlist of self learning given by a good hacker - the best one i've heared and applied in my journey -----> Youtube link

***Important***

Never ever pay anyone for learning Cybersecurity, never pay for doing internships, Training etc

They are just a Huge Scam, they promise many things to teach you but it will be extreme basic

Don't fall into their trap and don't lose your precious money, everything is Available in the Internet if you have some searching Skills
