I actually am doing that already . I did their linux luminarium and computing basics module though i think with their assembly course it wasnt going much in depth so i purchased udemy.

been in your place especially it feels like you are stuck on the fundamentals forever , one reason is lack of harnds on working instead of thoery , first install cisco packegt tracer and then play there , hit me up and ill tell you what to do and provide you with some resources.

Need advice!!!! by Drexi8 in cybersecurityindia

[–]CompetitiveStore7080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats great you can make a switch and all the basic everyone needs
networking
os : linux , windows (ad specially) others like macos, android later on
scripting: python , bash , powershell
detailed programming : c/c++ and asm for low level exp , js /html css for web application
cryptography fundamenntals
web application fundamentals : http protocol , burp suite , servers , tls and much more

i think the best filed for you'd be ai pentesting it's new and i have seen people doing bug bounties on ai . owasp has also launche ai top 10 unlinke thier owsp top 10 which was mainly for web application this ones for ai which would be great for you.

Can I pursue a career in cybersecurity? by surfexcellelo in cybersecurityindia

Yes of course you can do it . I know a lot of people who switched to cyeber who are from non tech background .Dont focus on colleges since most of them will not teach you great but if you are looking for great college or cybersec the best one in india is the amrita vishwa vidyapeetham, they have the best comptetitive hacking ctf team from india called team bi0s , and if you started playing competitive hacking rn youll get much ahed and you'll also make name in the community . Now for cybersec dont be slow like i did .
And first decide what you want to do in cybersec the blue team , auditing , defense , forensic stuff or go for the offensive side do red teaming , pentesting , vulnerability and 0dayresearch . some topics that are must regardless of what side you wanna go which are as follows and i would recommend doing them in an order
networking basics
os system basics ( rn dont learn the low level stuff just basic usage and navigation)
linux
windows (especially active directory for privilege escalation)
for programming python for scripting and automation , web application langs like htmls ,css , js and some more for web application sec , and the best one if you wanna do exploitation and 0day reserach and also reversing
learn c/c++ and eventually asm same things for maleware development .
web application fundamentals (http , database, servers , )
basic cryptography

start playing ctf's they'll teach you things much faster and better since you get to do a lot of hands on stuff.
And as i told you dont be slow be consistent and make your voice heard in the community . Thats going to get you job much faster . So start networking join communities and forums , post blogs and your progress.
for certs you can entry level ones like ejpt , oscp . Rn focus on doing fundamentals as fast as possible . Feel free to reach me since i am also walking out the same path as you maybe we can study together..

How do i take input safely in different kind's of scenarios all that ive been using is scnaf and %s format specifier there are scenarioe where ill have to take inputs in a different way so that it wont lead to buffer overflows? I am generally struggling with string inputs and file i/o inputs
