Hello again brother, quick question:
What laptops will be best for cybersecurity?
Do I need a dedicated graphics card?
@@preparationoftheelect2023 whatever you can affrod, you dont need anything fancy
hello can you suggest me the college project for the final year ln the feild of cyber security analyst .i hope you will reply step by step i have only 6 month remaining of the final year project am i doing now the google cybersecurity them i will join blue tem
@@RozanBasynet this is a question you need to ask your lecturers, i dont know what they want. Do your homework!
Hey Brother, quick question:
Is it possible to run your own purple teaming business?
Is there such thing as blue teaming contractor work?
My friend and I were thinking of starting our own Cybersecurity company one day way in the future once we are qualified and I was just wondering if it's possible to even be a blue team contractor, I want to do blue teaming, he wants to do red teaming, so we thought maybe a purple teaming company could be great
I cannot thank you enough for this! I actually commented months back asking how to get into digital forensics and although I know you didn't make this video for me I appreciate it & all the work you do so much! It's been a really hard road for me trying to get into CS and even though I'm not there yet your insight is invaluable to me, so thank you again. Took me six days to get through the InfoSec course and I start the RIT course on Monday - can't wait! Keep doing your thing mate, you don't know how much positivity you're bringing to the world.
wow you finished the infosec course in 6 days that’s impressive! how did you find it?
hang in there my friend, you are building the right skills and if you’re able to diversify your skills a bit by adding some generic cyber analyst skills you will get a job very soon!
(and yes I create the videos based on what people ask so I did listen to your suggestion :)
@@UnixGuy The depth of information was amazing and it was a great way to get into using tools like Autopsy & FTK Imager along with a bunch of others like RegEdit. How the information was conveyed was sometimes hard to digest but I feel like I really got a solid foothold on this path. I have a stack of CompTIA under my belt; A+, Project+, Net+, Sec+ & some ITIL, I know they aren’t the most practical certs but that’s why I appreciate your videos & guidance so much. Looking forward to this path you’ve outlined, thanks again, I hope you’re doing great & have an amazing 2024
well done, you are in a great position to start applying to jobs and get interviews - you got this 👏🏻
He is Very RIGHT !!!
Best cybercontentcreator by far, keep it pure bro, u deserve the best ! Ty❤

Please make a video on, how to choose career? And also the demand of cybersecurity jobs in details (red teaming, blue teaming, etc)
please watch my videos, I’ve already made that video..
ua-cam.com/video/qx3Zu5GdiQs/v-deo.html
@@UnixGuyLol
UnixGuy, thank you for this video! I am currently active duty military in an unrelated field, but I am close to finishing a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice with a concentration in Digital Forensics. And while the courses did have some hands on lab work, I felt like this was not enough for my to get hands on experience. These resources and road map you have provided will surely be beneficial as I prepare for transitioning from Military life to Civilian life. I will be following it closely and hopefully feel much more prepared come December time when my enlistment is over.
best of luck!
Digital forensics is what got me interested in cyber security in the first place. My current job is in the Military as a bomb technician and the technical, high stress and investigative aspects of digital forensics really appeals to me.
you are in a perfect spot to transition to digital forensics. Try to transfet to the electronic warfare unit if you can
Thank you so much for these great tips on forensics road map. I was struggling for months to decide the better way to get to osint/forensics career. Now I feel more confident but also a little depressed thinking about the looong road I still have to go through. But I'll keep up. Greetings from France.
follow the roadmap and you’ll get there faster! no depression, it’s a fun journey and you will learn a lot :)
Hey man, i am also interested in OSINT. Let me know if you want to start the journey together.
@@knockknock2290 Who's there?
Thanks! I haven’t seen much on cyber forensics and it’s what I’m most interested in.
now you know what to do!
@@UnixGuyI’d love some of these roadmaps for transitioning from certain positions into cyber security. Networking, Helpdesk, sysadmin etc. just a thought. Thanks again!
@@senorsleepy2359 I've explained this in the Q and A video and I go over this in every video. The roadmap doesn't change, follow it as it is :)
@@UnixGuyI’ll find that q&a thank you!
Thank you so much. I am applying for my master's in Cybersecurity & Forensic Information Technology at a UK university and I was looking to understand the real world applications of the degree deeply. This video is very informative for me.
Best of luck!
Your channel is such a gem, dude. Thank you so much for your hard work.
appreciate your kind words 🙏🏻
@@UnixGuy anytime 😊 have a great end to your week
Thank you so much! I have always been in love with the idea of forensics but it’s hard to know where to start, this helped me SO much and I can’t wait to get going on it! I’ve already got my Google cert and about to get my comp tia security + cert. wish me luck!
Glad it was helpful!
GREAT Video!! Totally gonna consider this. I am definitely at square one seeing what direction within this world seems interesting
best of luck!
I was in the marines and have 14 years so far in law enforcement. I will retire in 20 which is the minimum. The VA pays for university but I don’t know about certificates. Either way I will go to university for cyber security and do the online certificate courses you recommended. You helped me so much. Thank you.
good luck Andrew 🙏🏻
Great video as usual, thank you very much!

He's always clear. That's why I respect him
I'm currently a Network specialist with a cybersec degree, forensics work has always intrigued me so much!
it is an interesting area!
Currently working in cyber as an analyst but I want to switch over to digital forensics within law enforcement. Only have security+ right now. Thank you for the cideo
best of luck!
@princessdenise8659 can you guide me for doing cyber security if you can 😊
Very nice I was wondering about this pathway
🫡
Another great video, really enjoyed your cyber security engineer roadmap and was thinking about pursuing that path. Then you release this forensic path and this one interest me too. What to choose
start with the security engineer roadmap, follow it to the end, get hired, get experience, then you can learn forensic in your spare time later :)
I am too exactly I was interested by the cybersecurity engineer roadmap and wish to work as a cyber security engineer after college and then I was interested by the cybersecurity investigator this forensic path. Actually, I always love Sherlock Holmes and detectives I am interested in this and because I am female I thought forensics like this really suits me well, I was asking if you have any tips. Sorry for the long comment it is just I want to capture the whole situation so u can help me better.@@UnixGuy
You are a great help man, thank you.
Glad to help!
Thanks, very helpful
🙏🏻
Thank you so much for this info, when will you be doing a video about GRC.
very soon 😉
ua-cam.com/users/shortsoUvAUR6geEs?feature=share
Some books and the skills gained after doing certain courses would've been nice though. But thank you!
Good video, better than most and a good reminder why I subscribed
books get outdated as soon as they’re released, stick to the courses recommended here
Thank you so much for making this video, I actually feel like I have a solid plan of action to reach my goals now! Question though, where does Security + Certification and the Security Blue Level Level 1 Certification Course come into play? Or would you suggest us not do those for this career?
Hey mate,
as mentioned in the video, if someone has zero technical knowledge, then the google cyber security cert at the beginning is sufficient (no need for sec+)
blute team snd hack the box could be done later to gain more generic cyber analyst skills and incident response skills :)
@@UnixGuy Thank you for taking the time to respond to my comment! So Blue Team and HackTheBox Sherclocks is something to do at the end, gotcha! You're seriously doing so much to help people like me, thank you again for everything you do!
@@thebeanz7838 thats right do them after :) good luck
@@UnixGuy One last question and I promise I'll leave you alone lol For the RITx: Computer Forensics Course, I do plan on doing that after the Google Course, should I do the Verified Track or the Audit Track? Will they let me do it without taking the Prerequisite?
@@thebeanz7838 you can do without out the pre-requisite, do the verified so you can get tests and graded assignments
Hey UnixGuy, Thankyou soo much for another career roadmap video and I really like these kind of videos as I get to know different fields in cybersecurity and how to go about it. As a beginner I am really interested in OSINT, but I'm confused about the potential jobs or opportunities that open up after acquiring OSINT skills. I'm struggling to get a clear picture of the career options available once I've learned it.
If you can provide a basic roadmap for it I would be very glad. Or if you can please make a similar video on this topic.
OSINT is not a career path, it’s just a skill that can be gain as you follow this forensics pathway. Best to follow this roadmap and add OSINT skills later
Ok thanks, I got your point.
One more thing is there any scope of remote work in digital forensics?
yes@@knockknock2290
I work as an OSINT analyst now. It's not a bad job but it is a dead end for the most part. You might be able to advance into managing an operations center but that is about the only promotion in the field.
Love your content. So practical and useful. I have a question, you have the Ritx course, and it looks fantastic, but I have a full-time position. Is there any other course which is the same but self driven and not instructior driven?
hey mate, the RITx course is designed for individuals with a full time job, the workload is totally manageable and you shouldn’t have a problem completing it :)
I have a Bachelor’s in Forensic Science and Criminal Justice and I’m wanting to transition into digital forensics. I don’t have any experience in tech/LE, but I’m working on my cyber cert through Google. What would be the best route into this field for someone like me? Should I focus on certificates or should I go for a masters in Digital Forensics? Or both?
best is to focus on certs and try to land any cyber or tech role. I dont really recommend masters degrees to anyone
You're a godsend. Being relatively new to CySec, working as an ISSO (and sometimes also as a fill-in Sys Admin, hence your point on titles), forensics is the direction I want to move towards but pathway mentorship is been a bit lacking. My question, is regarding the Google Cybersecurity Cert that you recommend. IMO opinion, good training never hurts anyone but in this case I currently hold the CompTIA Trifecta & CySA+ and am about to knock out RHCSA (and maybe also Lin+, we'll see). I haven't looked into the Google Cyber Cert and am wondering if it will bring any new material that hasn't been covered by the Sec/CySA+ and would be more of just a refresher course at this point? Bypass the Google and head into the INFOSEC?
you probably dont need the google cert no
@@UnixGuy Appreciate the quick response and all the info you bring. Thank you
I'm 25 and just started going to my local community college which offers an associates degree in cyber security. My plan is to get the associates then work on certificates after, however I'm contemplating if this will be an effective strategy.
it’s not a bad strategy! no reason why u can’t start with certs at the same time, depending on how demanding your degree is. this is a nice easy start:
ua-cam.com/video/6LIUhx95MCU/v-deo.html
I am caught between studying for A+ or Sec+ or google cyber sec ..... or something like the courses here... hmmmm..... excited though.. I will decide soon. Thanks man.. your channel should get an award for real.. good luck..
definitely skip A+, start with google cyber cert then do sec+
you are reading my mind man , i was looking for a video for you about this title , so i was wondering after you said it is very technical i felt like its not for me ,is it bad if i was looking for field that dont need a really deep tachnical skills? (i donot mean easy OfCourse) nevermind my english is bad , thank you for this great content, keep it up
no it’s not bad at all! I will be talking soon about the non-technical side of cyber security which is called GRC. Watch this:
ua-cam.com/users/shortsBRmx7LAnqkM?feature=share
thank you😊@@UnixGuy
I appreciate this so much I’ve been lost trying to figure out where to start and this road map gives me a better understanding of how to go about my journey I have a question I am coming from a physical security background and was studying for my A+ would you recommend I continue or switch gears to the Google Cyber security cert?
switch gears, A+ is too pricey and completely unnecessary
Hey ! Great info once again. Been following you from a long time. What are your thoughts about TCM's Practical Windows Forensics ? Is it any good ?
hey mate, it is good! it can be used as a supplement to improve/practice windows forensics skills
@@UnixGuy Thanks for your reply. I appreciate it.
Question: Which laptop is better for learning and performing Cybersecurity work ? Windows or Mac ? and what do employees use in offices for cyber security? Thanks!
most companies use windows at work. Mac is fine too. Whatever you can afford, you don’t need anything special.
Thanks for another great video. I've done the Google cert, and I am doing the eJPT but realizing i don't have foundations to get into cyber atm. Thinking of starting Harvard's cs50 and would love your advice. Kind regards!
congrats on doing the certs. The ‘foundation’ is not a static thing that have or done have, instead its something thats progressively built. I dont recommend harvard’s course. Instead those will help more:
ua-cam.com/video/LFlsDm8w36A/v-deo.html
@UnixGuy thanks for the reply! Just edited my comment as auto correct got me lol thanks watching that video now!
Hi @UnixGuy Love your vids! Just a quick question, what certification would you recommend a HR personnel to take in order to land a job in digital forensics the fastest way - without going through a diploma or degree?
the certs mentioned in the video :)
@@UnixGuy thank you!
Nice video
please make a video about Incident Response Certifications and Training :)
those certs also cover incident response , so does my latest video
Hi, UnixGuy! Thank you very much again for the amazing job for doing this video! Truly appreciate it. I would like to ask your expert opinion on 2 questions:
1. Is Python the most suitable programming language for CyberForensic?
2. What level of programming is one that a cyber forensic investigator with healthy ambitions should pursuit? For example, Python basics or Python fundamentals, or Python advanced, or going deeper?
Trying to follow your advices and keeping the balance. You truly help a lot! Thank you very much for your self-determination, it is priceless for me and for many of us, I am sure.
Have a nice day!
hey mate welcome here!
1) Python can get the job done, and easy enough to learn so I’d say stick with it
2) dont worry about that now, follow the roadmap as it is, every role is different and not all of them require programming
Sincerely thank you! Copied that. Could you, please, share your opinion about two more points: is it a good idea to add EnCase certification to the roadmap in your video or the combination of mentioned RITx:ComputerForensics + Infosec CompForSpez+ INE DigForProf already covers that? Can't afford SANS for now. Also, do modern cyber forensics investigators need something like Comptia Network+ or the network topic is covered enough in the GoogleCybersecurityCertificate and in the other certificates from your roadmap. Thanks a lot in advance, sir. I truly appreciate it. Good luck to your channel and I wish you a lot of inspiration, thank your for inspiring us!@@UnixGuy
EnCase is a very popular software, but I would do that only after you finish this Roadmap, you need to first learn more about forensics and get some confidence and even try to land a job, then you can learn something like EnCase if your job demands
doing the certs in this roadmap will cover everything you need so encase will just be another software to practice with
@@UnixGuy I see it clear now! Thank you 🙏
Thank so much for this. I was thinking about this one for a while. Any plans for one on incident response? How I see it is a combination of the soc and forensic paths. Is that about right?
this plan can essentially get to become an incident responder! compliment it with the cert I link at the end of the video and you’re sorted!
@@UnixGuy thanks so much. Merry belated Xmas!!
hello can you suggest me the college project for the final year ln the feild of cyber security analyst .i hope you will reply step by step i have only 6 month remaining of the final year project am i doing now the google cybersecurity them i will join blue tem
No, this is a question you need to ask your lecturers. Do your own homework
This is my JAM! But unfortunately no opportunities exist in my area. And as far as military or Fed jobs go, I'm now a decade aged out of the system.
I have the skills & experience, even once held CompTIA certs since 2015, tried getting Salesforce certs in 2021(CompTIA now expired since 2018, haven't been able to retake exams, or pay for them) but never got hired anywhere.
Hi,
as explained in the video, dont restrict yourself to just forensics, consider soc analyst type roles
comptia dont give you any skills because they’re multiple choice based, please have a browse through my videos, I have cert recommendations and different pathways if forensics isnt accessible to you
XD I'm watching your roadmap videos to compare the paths for Analyst, Ethical Hacker, Engineer & now Forensic Investigator, and I noticed they always start with the google cert. Then you start here with RITx and I'm like "Oh, something different, he's not starting with Google, I'm a little disappointed." And then boom! "Go do the google cert as a prerequisite" LMAO XD You got me sir! Lol
its just good at easing people into the field and generic enougn to cover a lot of ground
@@UnixGuy yea, no complaints. I just thought it was funny. like "Awww? No google cert?" "Psyche! There is a google cert" lol
What is a good training for DFIR? I heard a lot of people recommend CCD?
the entire video is about DFIR, do the course recommendations that I linkedin the video
yes CCD is fine, so are the rest of the courses in the video
Can you do a video like this for the GRC field/industry?
very soon😉 please watch this:

Thank you very VERY MUCH!!!@@UnixGuy
Sir, can you make a video on CISO roadmap please?
that will be part of my GRC annoucement 😉
i dont plan on being a practitioner of cyber forensics. i do however want to develop the skills similar or better than people working in the field. basically i am a guy who studies law, and investigations skills and forensics skills can be incredibly useful for a laywer type of person. i also don't plan on being a practitioner of law either. basically i work in a field of work unrelated to both, but due to how much laws are broken on a regular basis within my field of work i need skills of lawyer and forensics and investigators because i can't simply rely heavily on others in those fields i want to gain as much skill that i have as much as possible to increase my success chances.
so with that said. do you have any advise on good books i can buy off amazon or any other things to study, any programs i need to use etc.? any other ways i can develop strong cyber forensics skills? im more about developing the skills and knowledge more so than a job or a piece of paper saying i have a degree. i just want to be strong in this kinds of catagories of my skill set.
the best way is to do the courses recommended in this video, books are all outdated and not worth the time/money
It's a computer detective!
yep 💯
What's a good road path for Exploit Development/Malware Research in terms of career? I was thinking going down the Red Team or Digital Forensics route. I already have a programming background and doing Internship with Splunk.
if you have some experiece you could do exploit development courses right away, but I recommend you do pentesting courses first.
That’s the roadmap to follow:
ua-cam.com/video/8K7iAJ9BNl0/v-deo.htmlsi=lDt9fIqNhjERl0uS
This is good. The only thing I wish you included is what are the salary ranges for forensic investigator for law enforcement and for civilian jobs ?
this is something you’ll need to search for in your city, salaries vary and most of the time salaries aren’t advertised
@@UnixGuy yes but I was hoping you could give a rough ball park….
@@jay2004r I cannot guess which city you live in, and I cannot guess salary ranges that are confidential. There are just so many variable. Please do a job search in your city and look at advertised salaries
@jay2004r you can be sure that highly technical skills that are in high demand will pay very well.
Another great video! I'm following this roadmap and wanted to know if any of the courses you mentioned are offered at universities under a different name? (excluding Google). I'm currently enrolled in WGU in their Cyber Security B.S program and didnt want to take similar courses to what my school offers.
the courses you will take through WGU are mainly ‘comptia’ stuff, those are different than the ones that I recommend in my videos - you will be okay :)
@@UnixGuy that's very true. I completely overlooked that. Thank you so much!! I'll get to it with those courses. Also, I just received my A+ cert. do you think I should start applying for jobs or wait until after I get my security+?
@@randomness8455 yes
@@UnixGuy thank you for all your help. I look forward to the day when I update you on the success in my new career. Be well and have a great New Year!
can't wait!!@@randomness8455
Please make a video about OSINT career and road map career.
it’s really a career but a skill, i’m planning a video about OSINT
Hi, do you think BTL1 would be a good cert for getting into Digital Forensics?
it will help but I recommend the roadmap in this video
@UnixGuy Okay thanks. I'm already in the process of doing BTL1 so is there a specific cert/course in this video that you'd recommend following it up with? Could SANS be a good next step?
Thanks for all your help.
@@JustinLazlo yes, the courses in the video :)
What do think about taking IT Support first then cyber security from Google or Cyber security only.
Do the google cyber cert as recommended in the video, that would be enough:
ua-cam.com/video/6LIUhx95MCU/v-deo.html
Do you have the same about GRC?
that’s coming very soon 😉 watch this:

Got Sec+ and CiSA exam passed but not getting any interviews, resume is ok, but no working experience. Should I use this free time to study CISSP for 2 months and have better chance or should I just start from entry IT desktop support to begin a career or IT audit? Very lost here, just want to get hired and provide for the family.
not really no, the certs are did are highly theoritical. They’re a good start but you need practical skills
No more multiple choice certs, watcht the videos in this playlist:
ua-cam.com/play/PLdI5VHN89i7X932iFp7-M30FM9J8QHqOk.html&si=v4jP7BBtO0wbfXeV
Please do a video on CPTS by HTB
ok…
what are some jobs do you recommend before someone becomes a cyber forensic investigator?
A good experience to have is within incident response and a SOC but it’s not mandatory, lots of people start in forensics.
If you want to broaden your skills, then do these:
ua-cam.com/video/wLgkX6F3ZDA/v-deo.html
i want to do this but nott in law enforcement as i never want to see things with children
then you’re better off doing these:
ua-cam.com/video/wLgkX6F3ZDA/v-deo.html
If I am interested in Analyst Positions, should I take Security+ then BTL1 then CySA+ or is CySA+ not necessary?
no need for comptia certs, just do google cyber cert then do this:

Hello, thank you for the video. I am now following the ethical hacker roadmap you provided. I have obtained the eJPT, and currently, I am studying PNPT. Can you create a roadmap for bug bounty? Thank you in advance.
continue with the ethical hacker roadmap, and once you finish it you can do some bug bounty courses from hackthebox or tryhackme
@@UnixGuyWhich one is better, TryHackMe or Hack The Box?
both are fine, pick one and run with it
Sir which will be better option penetration tester or digital forensics and I have seen that penetration tester get paid more and can you also make a road map for threat hunter ❤❤
Answer is here:

What do you think of EC-Council's CHFI?
not helpful if you want to become a cyber forensic investigator
Which one would you recomend eCDFP or CHFI?
watch the video, I recommended the certs in the video
I’m in school for cyber and digital forensics

So digital forensics interests me but seems like the end game goal. Should I just focus on blue team level 1 get a SOC job and then follow this videos cert recommendations?
yes there is a lot of cross over between digital
forensics and blue team :)

Would you still recommend google cybersecurity certificate for someone who have a bach degree in cyber security and forensics? Or should I invest my time and money to something else?
if you already have an understanding of what cyber security is, then you can skip it :)
hi sir, thanks for the info. im a beginner to cyber sec and in hope to learn scripting for cyber security. which language should i learn for that. does it have to be PowerShell ,python , bash or everything?

I have the option to take 1 of the 2 choices in SANS certificates. I can take either FOR500 or FOR508. I want to take FOR508 because I think that will help to to get a job with the law Law Enforcement but do you recommend going straight to FOR508 or should I take FOR500?
I recommend 508 as well!!
Thank you, I was going to take FOR500 because I thought I needed that background first but I will take the FOR508 instead. Thank you again for everything that you do.@@UnixGuy

As a beginner what laptop is suitable for Cyber security?
the one that you can afford
Very nice informative video appreciate but i have one request id be willing to watch any tutrials for example scriptung ethical hacking subnetting kali linux
follow the roadmap as it is, you will get those skilled covered
I mean i want to gain knowledge for your exprisince you are actually knowledgeable in this field and not like wvery infleuncer
@@Slumber_Tales you will gain that with enough handson labs and certs and hopefully you will become more knowledgeable than me 🤝
Do most cybersecurity jobs are during night shift? Because I don't prefer night shift
No most of them are normal 9-5 , here’s a breakdown:

Do I have to be a Security Analyst first to become a forensic Analyst?
some people can jump straight to forensic, but it’s always a good idea to have more broad skills (security analyst) and gain some experience in case you cant find a forensic role
I’m lacking motivation but I really want to start learning I tried self learning but I stoped half way I keep getting off track what tips would you give me as a person with zero skills and person who goes off track😭

So i was thinking about taking a diploma course on digital forensics after my bachelor's in msu malaysia. Will the diplome course benefit me? Will the certificate benefit me from getting a job?Do u recommend it? Or should i follow what you said in this video?
that really depends on how expensive the diploma is, the subjects in the diploma, and the quality of teaching. the certs i mentioned are less risky and you can use them to get a job as a cyber analyst while you upskill in forensics
What's the best university program for this? Would a degree from WGU in Cloud Computing qualify me for computer forensics investigator?
no, a degree in cloud computing won’t help in digital forensics!
Honestly you don’t need a degree! but if you insist and you are US-based, then this is a good choice:

@@UnixGuy Is there an alternative university other than Champlain? Champlain is private and tuition is expensive
What are the federal agencies that a Special agent can do DFIR ? @@UnixGuy
While I am referring glasdoor it is showing the salary as $1L - $2L/yr$52T-$84T per year. What's the exact meaning of this L and T
no idea, this is something you’ll need to search for in your city, salaries vary and most of the time salaries aren’t advertised
@@UnixGuy hello mate. I'm currently pursuing bachelor's degree in computer science. But I am very much interested in cyber security field. Do I need any Master's degree for that.
Could you please recommend a University Degree in Cyber security here in Australia, by the way, love your content.
yes for sure! which city do you live in? do you want the degree on campus or online? full time or part time?
do you have a degree or this is your first degree??
@@UnixGuy, thank you for your prompt reply, my inquiry is actually for my daughter, it would be her first degree, she has a undergraduate certificate in Social Media and started the Google cert. We are at the Sunshine Coast, so I guess online would be more convenient but I can tell already that a lot of Uni courses are not up with it und just pack related degrees with some Cyber courses, also not to heavy with maths would be apreciated. Thank you for your help!!!
@@schuma61 hey mate, no worries at all! I know university of southern queensland have cyber security courses
She should look into the free tafe cert IV in cyber security. It is free, and will get her started quickly, while she learns through certs and courses on the side
The only caveat would be that the sunshine coast is a small market so naturally opppurtunities are limited but im certain you’re aware of that!
@@UnixGuy her long-term goal is to get into government or defence, so a Bachelor's is a prerequisite, TAFE won't cut it, do you have a recommendation for AUS-wide online degrees?
@@schuma61 If that's her goal, then she should consider applying to defense/army right now. They're constantly hiring individuals with zero background and they'll pay for their training! For degrees, Deakin is 'okay', so is ECU.
Hey brother please last one reply .. should i start from try hack me or directly start learning CEH ..?? Please reply
Do the certs in the same order that i recommend
Can we work from home,as a cyber forensic?
it’s hard.. you will need to be in person for some roles
Hey mate! I am from india. I am very much interested in cyber security and want to build my career in that. How much can i get paid at entry level jobs.
welcome mate. Do the certs that I recommend in this video and you'll be able to land a job
Are these Coursera Courses really worth ??
they are a good way to learn a subject

@@UnixGuy did you mean to tag another video? This is to be a cloud engineer? Thank you! What should I be doing to become an analyst?
it's for cloud security, following the roadmap will make you both a cloud engineer and a cloud security engineer@@ikemitch2498
Could you do another ethical hacker or penetration tester roadmap?

Hey @UnixGuy great and very informative video once again!
I was wondering, are people with ADHD/ADD generally not hired in Cybersecurity, especially the forensics, would that be even harder to get into or does the rule you use to mention apply, "Be so good they can't ignore you."?
hey mate, some of the best cyber security professionals that I know tell me they have ADHD. This question is best directed to a medical professional because every case is different
@@UnixGuy thank you for the answer. Beginning my journey now. Hope to speak to you as a colleague in due time.
Suggest some free courses for beginners ❤
browse through my videos. i have a video titled free trainint
is DFIR an entry level job ?
Mainly SOC roles can be entry level
@@UnixGuy ok thanks

i am 13yo i cant spend that much money on certifications like ceh or ocsp can you recomend any udemy courses try hack me courses hack the box subscription or even youtube videos to get me started in hacking
I never recommended CEH. If you want to learn ethical hacking, follow this roadmap:

I know i want udemy courses since im so young certifications are useless can you recomend any youtube tutorials / courses on udemy or wensite subzcriptions with good prices
your age has nothing to do with certifications. Watch the video, everything you need is there
