(His videos are often very lengthy and beating around the bush, so here is a short summary)
- Learn basics of IT, Hardware, Software, OS, Networking
Like CompTIA A+, Networking+, Security+ Certificates (they have educational material, no need to do the test)
- Learn how big security is, security domains
How they work together
- Try Overcome Imposter Syndrome
Focus on what you want to do and what you can
- Hobby vs. Career
Separate identities to prevent burnout. You shouldnt work your hobby all the time, I guess
-
Work with tools to increase productivity (and use ads lol)
-
Join the InfoSec community
Learn from another, projects, conferences
- Take one step at a time
I can imagine that, never did any of those certificates.
Selfhosting vs. writing code is different. But yes for sure if there is some kind of separation that may be fine.
For me personally, being on a computer after a workday on a computer can be nice, but can also be too much and cause stress over time, without me noticing it.
Absolutely. I’m a software dev by day, and a hobbyist admin by night. And cybersecurity involves a bit of both, but honestly, the coding is largely just scripting, which I totally think can be picked up on the side if you’re logically inclined.
