r/learncybersecurity

I'm looking for a few people who are interested in learning cybersecurity and systems programming together.

Some topics I'm interested in:

• Network / Web / Mobile Security
• Malware Analysis
• Pentesting
• Embedded Systems Programming
• Applied Cryptography

You don't need advanced knowledge. Basic programming/OOP and networking knowledge is enough — the main requirement is that you're genuinely interested in these topics.

Timezone: GMT+3 to GMT+8

I'm hoping to keep the group relatively small so we can actually work together rather than have a huge server/group.

If you're interested, feel free to comment or DM me.

Hey guys i'm in need of some solid advice ,  I have 90 days to try and land a role in cyber security , I know it’s a bit of a drastic timeline . But ive done 8 years of warehousing and now ive been made redundant , I have about 1.5k in my savings that I am planning to put towards certs and learning, please give e some advice on what I should do in the next 90 days. 

Me gustaría pedir ayuda a alguien que ya esté trabajando en el mundo de la ciberseguridad.
Estoy interesado en empezar en este campo. Cuento con un ordenador, pero actualmente no tengo los medios económicos para pagar un curso, por lo que me gustaría saber si es posible aprender por mi cuenta y qué pasos debería seguir para formarme bien y, en el futuro, poder trabajar en este sector.
Si podéis recomendarme canales de YouTube, páginas web, cursos gratuitos, libros o cualquier otro recurso que os haya servido, os lo agradecería muchísimo.
PD: Si podéis compartir también vuestra experiencia personal y cómo empezasteis, sería de gran ayuda. No tengo a nadie cercano a quien pueda preguntarle sobre este mundo y me gustaría conocer diferentes experiencias antes de comenzar.
Muchísimas gracias de antemano a todos los que os toméis el tiempo de responder. 🙏

Looking for a cybersecurity buddy! 🛡️

I’m a 2nd-year CSE student learning networking, ethical hacking & CTFs. Looking for someone who’s also interested in cybersecurity so we can learn, practice, share resources, and grow together.

Beginner or intermediate — all good. Let’s level up together! 🚀

I've been looking into a career change and I started to listen to and follow people who are in IT and cybersecurity and it seemed interesting to me and I've decided to purse.

im trying to make a decision about going back to school or studying for certs and joining the market from there.

important info. I have a Degree in computer science already. however due to my mental health and thing with my family at the time I wasn't really in it. I didn't get internships, or career guidance so I had no idea what I wanted. I ended up at my current job, with great benefits and decent/ok pay (30 /hr) but not related to CS.

I can go back to school and finish 40 credit in 2 years with a degree. my current job will reimburse me for most of the tuition, I can possibly get internship, and my current student loans will go back in deferment till I finish. The cons to this is the time and money to go back to school.

I guess I'm looking for advice from people have gotten in the field or farther along then me on wether school is worth it. or should I focus on certs and experience.
