    Hey Heath, hope you see this. I watched one of your videos in early 2020. I purchased your ethical hacking course that same year and began my journey into ethical hacking. I transitioned from construction my entire adult life and just this past week was offered a job as a security analyst. Made the career change, and landed an amazing job for an amazing company. I owe lots of my knowledge to you and your journey motivated me. Thank you so much!

    How much do you actually work on pentesting for a company and how much is actually attributed to reading up on new exploits or vulnerabilities? Also, do you mostly work remote? I think you said in your practical ethical course that it is typical to get a VPN connection to the client and perform the internal test that way?

    Although I am already somewhat experienced and very computer and linux literate, I still learned a lot from your videos. So thankyou from England.
    Curious why you recommend OSCP over CEH?
    There are thousands of jobs here in the UK looking for people with CEH cert but only 800 looking for OSCP.
    In your honest opinion being in England, Is OSCP really worth the extra money? Thanks

    • @anonyghost7422
      @anonyghost7422 2 года назад +9

      My best advice is to change your mentality. You can’t possibly learn to be an effective security practitioner “quickly”. This takes time. I just finished my degree in cyber security, earned my sec plus this past summer and have been on tryhackme and I still feel like I don’t know much. This takes time and practice and drive to want to learn everyday. Now as being effective, learn the basics first. Hammer them into your head because most of the time your headaches come from the simplest mistakes. Once you master the basics, move on to more complex topics. Certs are a good way to track some of that progress. But do not be mistaken that you will get there in 6 months or even a year.

    • @anonyghost7422
      @anonyghost7422 2 года назад +2

      @Jay Anyone who says they mastered something in a small amount of time is in my personal opinion either a genius or full of shit. That being said, dont be discouraged. This isnt an easy field to come into and master in a year or two. Get the basics down and practice practice practice. In due time you may be teaching other beginners ( and teaching is a good way to demonstrate and fortify your own knowledge). Keep at it !

      @vawaken3860 2 года назад +3

      There’s really no accurate answer to this question. It all boils down to the time and energy you put into learning the information and applying into something practical. Also ties is your ability to pick up the concepts and your willingness to learn. Some may say 1-2 years, others may take longer and that’s ok. Like TCM said, focus on improving every day and don’t worry so much about how long it will take you to get there.

      A little late on this reply… but I actually learned a lot of what I know about hardware and components from the various RUclips channels part of Linus Media Group. (Linus Tech Tips, Tech Quickie, etc). They make videos experimenting with pc’s and their components or talking about the latest news in the field. The content is aimed halfway at education and halfway at entertainment. It was a really organic way to get started in the space for me.

    Comptia A+, Network+ are purely theoretical. You have to cram it to pass their exams. I think these multiple based question exams will not help you through your ethical hacking journey. Basic knowledge of networking and IT is enough to continue through the roadmap. Why you have to go so much deep in networking that is required for a network administrator??

    Hey Heath, I hope you are doing fine.
    Recently I got my security+ cert and I do not want to waste my time with irrelevant certs. My question: is CEH still relevant in the market or I should find some different cert !! Thank you so much in advance.

    How long do you think it takes for someone starting from zero experience until they're able to get hired? Thanks for all that you do!

      An advice: don't think about it just start doing it .
