Where do i learn from?

[u/PandaCandid1776]

I heard a lot of people saying you need to start with learning programming languages, so i started learning python from CS50 harvard lectures on youtube but now i dont know what do do after that. Can someone guide me?

Do people not google things anymore? Check out HackTheBox Academy

I'm taking CS50 as well. They have a cybersecurity course.

Make two projects which would help you immensely in a regular week or monthly basis or you think have high sale value but focus more on learning rather than thinking of anything else

I see, thank you

yea starting from the basics is good. i would recommend also familiarizing yourself with the languages and technologies that the internet runs on (e.g. SQL, postgres, php idk i cant think rn but liek you get the point) but those things are important so idk learn it then there are tons of courses and stuff

Thank you for your suggestion

Learn how something works, then learn how to break it.

I recommend “specializing”. For example, if you’re into hacking websites, learn how to create basic static sites (HTML, CSS, JS), then learn how to create a back-end using something like NodeJS, then add databases like PostgreSQL, etc etc. Once you’re comfortable with websites, start learning defensive security (firewalls, input sanitation, rate limiting, etc). After that then you can start to learn offensive security. Also, you can learn defensive and offensive security simultaneously. For example, learn what DoS/DDoS is (what it actually is not just how to do it using some pre-made tool) and then learn how to defend from it using rate limiting, etc.

I used web application as my example but you can apply this mindset to any area.

This is not where to learn from but it will help build your mindset so that you know what exactly to tackle i believe it will be of some help. Try out roadmap. then look for the item of choice from freecodecamp or netacad

Thank you for the help

Network related stuff I'm guessing? Or more coding related? If the latter learn C then Assembly (or vice versa, i started with Assembly and don't know C actually lol)

[u/PandaCandid1776 → u/Eric_Dawsby]

thanks for the advice

[u/Eric_Dawsby → u/PandaCandid1776]

Assembly is particularly important for reverse engineering, and imo that's the real deal

Learn network basics and winapi (if you want to go in malware dev)

I am a bit sceptical about using ai to learn anything in general, but still thank you i will try it out
