I'm a senior infosec guy (four digit CISSP) with a 27 year old son that is great at tactical leadership and customer service. He's a restaurant server and seems stuck without any real career inspiration. I think he would really enjoy infosec. Do you have any more inspirational videos, or be willing to make a "get off the pot" video? Nice work on these, BTW.
Maybe try building a pc with him. Show him some examples of malware, show him the physical, tangible things before expecting him to appreciate the abstract conceptual aspects.
Great vid. I would like to mention that while building projects is super important to show your skills, I advise you to still get the best certs possible. They will get you past the robo-check and HR, because they won't even care about what you built unless you have the right certs in the first place. You need to get the OSCP, CISSP, CEH etc. Don't get too comfortable in your job, you might lose it and find it impossible to find a new one because you don't have the right certs to get you past the robo-check and HR.
very valuable contribution however, these certification you have mentioned above are way too high and lofty for beginners to attain. What do you do think about the Comptia A+ ans Security + cert for beginner?
@@footyworld813 Wrong, because he is not a beginner. I believe he has a master in cyber security, he is doing himself a disservice by simply relying on projects.
Thank you, this helped me clear many doubts I had. I would always go blank when someone asked me what kind of projects you can do in cybersecurity, while I knew about everything you talked about and have done it, I didn't really consider them as worthy projects until now.
I know that reality now can be harsher than a decade ago, but I always thought that it is easier to teach entry level security to a guy that knows how to code in at least one language and administer services on both Linux and Windows, than to teach programming and administration to a guy who just knows some security material and security tools. In other words - my advice is: learn to code and learn OSes, and you will not hear the mantra "Cybersecurity is not an entry level job anyways". I love your ideas, as they are about actual doing, and more so - doing things independently. That comes a long way.
Which programming languages should I learn for pentesting and etichal hacking?.....i'm studying like i said comptia sec+ and after i'll do pentesting...i was thinking to do red team....but i also like to become an ethical hacker.........at the moment i'm studying python with bash and batch.........after they told me to study go and pearl
Python is the winner here, just focus on scripts and automation that focuses on solving real world job problems on IT by automating boring stuff. Then you can move to other programming languages such as bash, powershell etc.
@@babayaga.666-v8x C does really worth it, you will get more into it when trying yourself out even with the basic privilege escalation, if you dont want to be a simple skiddie of course.
Please help, I'm so confused, I transitioned over a month ago and everyone says build projects but I don't know how or what they do or how it affects the real world and I can't find resources that explain these things, It's all theoretical and difficult
This is exactly what I've done for years. I'm about to graduate undergrad and now I understand a lot and I have a good set of options lined up for jobs. **Please take this advice.** Feel free to reach out to me as well if you'd like help starting.
can you please make a detail video on how to document our jounery the way to write apps and tool to use to write and document and guys if you know such videos plzz mention it

Take a look at some of my previous videos I did! Specifically the "Why cybersecurity is a great career"
Can you adopt me too? 😂 I'm 24, passionate about I.T / Cyber security. 😅😂✌️
I think I'm your son, but I'm 22 and about to graduate still serving tables.
@@andrewbustamante5446 You can do both! Just don't stall out. Don't confuse inertia with initiative. They are opposites.
Creating a blog and documenting my ctf journey is really a great idea. Thanks mate.

@@smnomad9276 I wasn’t talking about him, I was talking about beginners like myself and so many others
@smnomad9276 Okay yes, but what about beginners? What certs would you recommend?
What an intro man. Omega based!

@7DuRd3n thanks.....for c language is worth it?....i asked at a lot of peoples....and and many have said no..'cause i thought to learn c++ or c sharp

@@babayaga.666-v8x I love C++, but I guarantee you that C and Python make a great pair, with C you get a great foundation.
