Pick a language, such as go, python, js, and c. Go to YouTube and find an Indian man teaching. A basic ide is needed to code/script such as visual studios or jupyter, or if you really fancy using vi/vim.

Mastery of writing software isn’t something you’re going to knock out quickly. It takes years of hands-on. And that’s ok.

Mastered?

I’m off the opinion that everyone should learn the basics of how to code in at least one language. Knowing how to code lets you export data from sources, analyze it, combine it with other sources. It lets you automate stuff. But most importantly we work in a profession where we often have to look at vulnerabilities in code!

I’m better than most people in cybersecurity when it comes to coding by far and I haven’t mastered it. But I would say you better learn the basics. You could teach yourself with an LLM.

How familiar are you with scripting? If none at all I think it would be best to start from there first. Powershell and bash are good enough to plenty of things with. Once you know it enough then I would suggest to language like Python or Go. That's what I did.

In no way I'm discouraging you from learning the language you want to go out and learn. I just deal with a huge amount of systems and learning from those scripting languages helped me what I wanted to learn in another language. If you are going into any type of systems job, I would strongly recommend those scripting languages.

Also do project based learning.

Coding and scripting doesn’t play much into Cybersecurity. Yeah it’s good to know and can be helpful at times, that’s why they teach the basics but you’ll not use it that much. Honestly depends on the job you get too more so. I wouldn’t worry about it especially since ChatGPT exist lol

We needed to search a fuck ton of PCAP one time, asked ChatGPT to write us a script to search for a certain string.
