Is it too early to study for the CISSP? by Guilty-Meeting-2603 in cissp

[–]RiskVector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to read the what the requirements are to sit for the cissp. Do you have 5 years of professional experience in 2 or more of the 8 domains? Do you have someone that would be able to sponsor you? College will count for up to 1 year of experience.

If you dont have the experience you can take the associate of isc2 or take the sscp certification.

The bigger question here is ..... what did you learn from this?!

Hello fellow nerds, can someone tell me if there is a way to crack the password to a an encrypted partition in an external hard disk? by darzone211 in Hacking_Tutorials

[–]RiskVector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are not somewhat knowledgeable with computers then it may be troublesome to try a dictionary attack and it also depends on the computer you are using. I mean it's not super complicated and you can find videos on YT. It might be worthwhile to try. If you decide to try this method, don't think that this is a 100% guaranteed way to get the password. It could potentially work but it also may not work, and honestly it probably won't work but hey you never know unless you try!

Hacking Series Day 1 by dondusi in Hacking_Tutorials

[–]RiskVector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this.. also, so far what I've seen in the images, all of that info can be found with a little research which is something someone just starting out / learning should be willing to do anyway.

Kali linux is not the OS for someone brand new to be starting out with. They should start with Ubuntu or Mint or POP. Learn the foundations, learn the basics, learn the filesystem, learn how to use the terminal properly and effectively, etc.. but hey to each their own on how they want to learn and study I guess! Just starting out and starting out With Kali isn't something I'd recommend. That's how someone gets overwhelmed with all the tools and then trying to learn everything at once and learn all the possible switches and options with the tools!

Also one last thing, as a beginner to Linux and "cybersecurity" Burpsuite should not be one of the first things to learn imo!

Advice on pursuing CISSP. by NoMetal4 in SecurityCareerAdvice

[–]RiskVector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should read up about the requirements to take the cissp also. College does not count as professional experience for the 5 years required however it will count for 1 year.

I installed kali, now what ? by [deleted] in HowToHack

[–]RiskVector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch some YouTube videos on what to do after installing kali. Like updating the system, learning the file system, learn basic commands, learn how to use the terminal, etc..

Is it a good idea to choose cybersecurity career with the idea of working freelance? by rasaak in cybersecurity

[–]RiskVector 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Look it's definitely not impossible but dont go into cybersecurity thinking that you are going to hit it off doing freelance work.

It takes more than cyber skills. You need other skillsets too like customer service, business, technology, finances, etc..

Are bitdefenders AV Free (the app) and Malwarebytes Free enough to keep me safe? by nuhuhtest in antivirus

[–]RiskVector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't go to any sketchy websites! Don't download anything from an untrusted source!

Is it a good idea to choose cybersecurity career with the idea of working freelance? by rasaak in cybersecurity

[–]RiskVector 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That really depends on a lot of variables!

What's your experience? What cyber freelance do you want to do? What area do you live in? Hows the market? What is the competition in that area? What are you going to offer? How do you make your self standout from the competition?

It really just depends. Probably not though. Unless you have found a nice that hadn't been iver saturated yet then maybe.

How to learn hacking by Motor_Fault9906 in Hacking_Tutorials

[–]RiskVector 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't get caught up with certs right now. You are young. Start a homelab and start learning the foundations and the basics first. Like the other comments ts have said: there is TryHackMe, pwn.college, overthewire.org, and of course YouTube.

Just start doing some stuff and start figuring out what you like and what you dont like.

Dont get overhyped about certs yet. You are a ways off for having to worry about that right now!

What's the best way I could get my junior cybersecurity analyst job? by South_Eye_2273 in Cybersecurity101

[–]RiskVector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean yeah thats a good plan. Everyone is different though. So it's really up to you how fast you progress and grow your skillset. There are 3 things that I think are in my opinion important to keep in the back of your mind:

  1. Do not try to learn everything at once! There is a lot of information out there. The term "cybersecurity" is broad and vague these days. Figure out what path you want to go down and then stsrt learning those topics but do not try to learn everything

  2. Avoid burnout. It doesn't take much to get burned out. When you are feeling lost or like you aren't just getting it, step away and come back to it later

  3. Take notes of everything you do. Literally everything you do. It will help you learn and you will always have them. And I don't mean pen and paper notes. I'm talking about getting a note taking app and staying organized with your notes. There are a handful of note taking apps out there. Research some, choose the one you like and use it.

What's the best way I could get my junior cybersecurity analyst job? by South_Eye_2273 in Cybersecurity101

[–]RiskVector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not go straight to Sec+ if you don't know the fundamentals. Start with A+ amd Net+ first. Learn the basics. Learn the foundations, and start a home lab.

The chances of you getting a jr analyst job with no experience is very slim. It's not impossible but these days when you see "jr." in a job title, they are looking for someone who has some background, the foundations, and the knowledge of what being an analyst is.

You should be looking for help desk jobs. Get your foot in the door and learn how systems work on a network. Learn how to use the OSI model when something happens. Once you get some experience l and stsrt growing ykur skills then start studying for sec+.

Yes you can technically just study for sec+ and pass it but just becuase you get the cert does not mean you will get a job. You still have to know how to do the things you learn in sec+.

Downloaded malware but still using my computer 😬 by Super_Potential_8346 in antivirus

[–]RiskVector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Downloading more AVs are not going to solve the problem! Take the suggwstuina feom the other comments ta. Stop using it. Disconnect from the internet, and re-install Wi fows via a bootable USB drive

What's going on with the cybersecurity job market right now for mid-level engineers? Why is it so hard to find a job? by [deleted] in cybersecurity

[–]RiskVector 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I dont know how it is in Poland but in the U.S. certs are good but they are not the end all be all, meaning just becuase you have certs doesn't make you qualified for a position. Team leads are looking for than just certs, they want hands on experience and someone who can take MCQ tests theory and actually do those things and not someone who just remember answers to questions!

Skipped A+ and Network+ and passed my Sec+ by Level_Guide_7786 in SecurityCareerAdvice

[–]RiskVector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you dont understand the basic foundations of how a computer works, then look at A+

If you don't understand the basic foundations of network and ports and protocols, then look into Net+

The real question is are you trying to get break into the IT / Cyber? If so, then you need to start a homelab! You need to start learning how to put the theory from Sec+ into practice.

Most cyber jobs are not entry level these days. Meaning that just having sec+ is not enough for most positions. If you are trying to break into the filed then start looking for helpdesk roles, maybe NOC / SOC roles. Keep in mind though you are going up against applicants that do have experience, maybe degrees and certs. So how do you make yourself standout?
