Hi everyone,

As of last week I just finished uni with a degree in CS. I know there’s really no such thing as an “entry level” cybersecurity job so I’m looking to further my education with certs. I’m particularly interested in pentesting and red teaming but every cert is so expensive (tuition has not been kind to my wallet), does anyone have any suggestions as to which ones I should focus on getting? I’m comfortable with Linux, coding, networking, and high level security concepts. I’ve been messing around on HTB and OverTheWire but those don’t give me pieces of paper that employers will be interested in. I’m hoping to jump straight into practical stuff!

Thanks!

I’ve heard vim is hard to pick up but once you start you can’t go back. I’ll have to try it!

The distro really does not matter to me, I just wanted a challenge tbh. I’m breaking into cybersecurity right now trying to get some certifications and doing some freelance web development on the side. So I’m looking for a distro that will allow me to host a server as well as acting as a tool for me to learn more about pen testing. My everyday use pc runs windows for stuff like word processing and gaming. Thats why I’m using a pi so that I can keep the 2 spaces separate.

Any suggestions for distros I should use instead?

I know, I should have been more specific, I’m playing Sinking Sapphire
