3 Project Ideas in Cybersecurity. Build Experience & Portfolio.

- Cybersecurity projects are great ways to get hands-on experience while building a portfolio. The three projects ideas I recommend include 1) Cybersecurity Homelab, 2) Programming & Scripting Projects, 3) Capture the Flag (CTF)s and blogging. As I begin to plan and document a new cybersecurity project, I thought I would take the time to overview some larger cybersecurity projects I have done in the past to learn, build, and refine my technical skills.

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.
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. 😅😂✌️
Creating a blog and documenting my ctf journey is really a great idea. Thanks mate.
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.
What an intro man. Omega based!
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?
Really enjoyed this video, solid stuff!
Couldn't agree more. Great video!
So nice i liked it twice
Cool! Thank you for the information!😎👍
Happy to share!
Thanks mate nice video
👍Thanks.
Thank you!
Happy to help!
nice and helpful video
Thank you so much Brother ❤
Happy to share!
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.
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.
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, C, Powershell, Bash
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.
@@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
@@user-cb8jz8rt6x thanks
@@babajaga_666 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.
You look like coffeezilla
Voidzilla.
