Dear Cyber Security Wannabe, Here are 10 Ways to Get Started in an awesome career in Cyber Security:

Make good money in your PJs. The Cyber Security field is popping. Here is how to get started:

(🧵thread)

#cybersecurity #informationsecurity #infosec #leadershipbyexample
1. Educate Yourself - This is extremely important. Learn the basics of cyber security. Use online resources, tutorials, courses, or whatever works for you. Learn the fundamentals.
2. Gain Relevant Education - while you are studying, you study and gain certifications. Certs give you great street cred. Hang those certs above your desk proudly.
3. Own the Labs - build your own labs. Whether it's with physical systems or VMs with AWS or Azure, have fun with it. You can get great experience safely by hacking your labs. Own them!
4. Join Communities - Maybe it's Discord, LinkedIn, Twitter, or somewhere else. Join likeminded people who have the same interests as you. Surround yourself with smart people and learn from them. Ask questions.
5. Learn Programming - Python, Java, or whatever you are into. It will certainly help, especially if you want a hands on tech position. Understanding basic coding will really help when analyzing vulnerabilities.
6. Learn Networking Fundamentals - TCP/IP, how packets flow through the wire, subnets, Vlans, and others. If you understand how packets flow and networks operate, everything else will come easy.
7. Explore Different Cyber Sports - Offensive Security, Defensive Security, GRC, Sales, or Engineering. Cyber Security is a huge arena. Pick a sport and dive in.
8. CTF events - There is no better way of getting hands on than to participate in capture the flag events. You get to play offense and defense. You get to strategize. The knowledge from these are priceless.
9. Stay Informed - What are the latest threats? What are the trends? Stay informed from websites, newsletters, blogs, and other great resources.
10. Seek Internships - People love free help. Offer your local community advice in Cyber Security. Offer help to local businesses that you have relationships with. This will give you real world experience and is a win win for everyone.
11. Make Connections - this is one that I can really help you with. Get visibility from recruiters, HR departments, and have endless opportunities come to your inbox. Learn how to change your career in 4 hours. breakincyber.com/post/linkedin-…

The entire internet, every device, and the system you are reading this on uses network packets. To be of value to a SOC Team or PenTesting team, you must have a solid understanding of what a network packet is. Packets are the internet's motor. Without them, it doesn't exist.
These 9 steps will give you some insight on how to dissect a network packet and understand it. If you can grasp a solid understanding, most cyber security tools will seem easy. Once you learn to drive, you just have to understand the options in each car. This works the same.
