Hey! I'm new here, can someone recommend me books or videos to start learning about cybersecurity, please? Thank you beforehand!
>>108089986I believe there sometimes a general discussion you could be on the look out for, but it is missing at the moment.Here is an archived version of it with a ton of links. Good luck.https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/108026185/#108026185
>>108090035>https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/108026185/#108026185Thank for your help! Have a great one!
If you're looking to get a career in cybersec I would look up courses for cybersecurity certifications, most of those assume you have basic IT/networking knowledge so you might want to study that first
>>108090052>Thank for your help! Have a great one!You are welcome, and thank you also. I hope we both have a great one. Since the general is missing, someone might make a new one now that you have asked your question; so perhaps stick around and check periodically to see if someone has.Live chat with enthusiasts will also be of high value. You might perhaps learn something, seeing you are new here, attempting to copy paste all the information in the archived version of the general (being sure to put the proper information in the proper fields(subject in the subject, being sure to modify any changes to the URLs provided like they did here: https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/108026185/#q108026228 , etc)) and then supply the missing general for the board by becoming the OP.
>>108090061Oh, thanks! I'm not looking for a career, but I'm interested on how all of this works, I would like to learn the basics to be safer and not be cluless on this topic. Anyhow, any recommendations on IT?
>>108090086Great! Thank you for all your help and kindness!
>>108089986> Any areas you'd like to focus on ? Its very vast. Cloud ? Code/AppSec ? Infra ? Offensive ? Blue team ?
>>108090035Must be blind, because there is an active general right now, the same one linked in the archive. XD>>108026185
>>108092156Probably, and based on previous advice on this thread, I would wanna focus on infra first. But guess Iwould say the end goal would be defensive/offensive, so I can have an idea of how people could expliot vulnerabilities
>>108093220lol, thank you
>>108093125Then pick a topic first and follow the rabbit hole. If you say infra, OK, let's refine further : Cloud infrastructure ? Companie's on-prem infrastructures such as Active Directory ? Classic networks with linux servers and user workstations ? One good thread start is to learn basic AD pentesting, its covered all over the place (hackthebox, tryhackme, TCM security, ired.team, hacktricks....). You'll setup your own labs, and play within your infra. from there, pivot to whatever.
Just ask the entire company for their password kindly sirthen login and you're done
>>108089986just google "OWASP guide".
