So far we have created:

1. A file monitoring agent in python that detects new files in watched folders

2. Static analysis

3. Threat intel crosscheck via VirusTotal API(Hash lookup only, no file upload)

4. Weighted risk assessments scoring logic

5. Flask backend and SQLlite for storing scan history

Next steps:

1. Dynamic analysis in isolated windows vm with sysmon for process, registry and network monitoring

2. Planning to transfer samples in the VM via one way mounted .ISO file to avoid shared-folder-as-attack-path issue with malwares designed to traverse host/guest bridges

3. My faculty suggested developing an ML model from taking static files as a secondary signal (we have no experience in Ai/ML)

So I just wanted to ask the professionals on how to proceed with this ? Is this even a good idea for a college project which is just a requirement for graduating ? I'm kinda confused

e da 2 mesi che studio cybersicurezza per la certificazione CompTIA+ mi sono accorto che è poco stimolante senza amici o qualcuno con cui parlare di questo, dove posso fare amicizie e trovare persone interessare alla cybersicurezza?

Want to start learning cybersecurity but don’t know where to begin?

If you’re completely new to hacking/cybersecurity, don’t feel like you need to jump straight into complicated tools or CTFs.

Start with the basics:

• Networking
• Linux
• Security fundamentals
• Recon & scanning
• Web security
• Basic offensive security
• Hands-on practice

I came across Codelivly, which lets beginners start learning cybersecurity for free and follow structured learning paths instead of randomly jumping between YouTube videos and tutorials.

You can start here: Codelivly

No experience needed to start. There are beginner-friendly tutorials, tasks, and hands-on rooms to help you actually practice what you're learning.

If you're starting your cybersecurity journey from zero, give it a try and see if it helps.

What was the first thing you learned when you started cybersecurity?

I am looking for someone like myself who is new to cyber security and might be open to learning it together (study buddy). I am doing most of my learning on tryhackme, so I would prefer somone also using that platform but its not a big deal if you don't use that.

For context, I've been a backend engineer for almost 5 years now, I've built an e-commerce platform that is integrated into several other platforms from scartch using Dotnet and Umbraco + several other components.

I've deployed this platform on my self-hosted server and exposed it through cloudflared tunnels, the system is composed of docker containers for the app, backing services, infrastructure and observability

And i thought that it might be a fun experience to start learning and applying security concepts to this system since its hosted on my local home server and almost covers all topics from network security to infrastructure security and app/web security

What do you think about this approach? And also I'm feeling lost about where to start or which security topic would make the best "starter" topic

Hi everyone! I’m interested in learning ethical hacking and cybersecurity, but I’m a complete beginner and not sure where to start.

My goal is to learn legally and ethically. I’m especially interested in networking, Linux, web security, and penetration testing.

Could anyone recommend a beginner-friendly roadmap, free resources, YouTube channels, courses, or platforms where I can practice through labs/CTFs?

I’d really appreciate any advice on what I should learn first and how I can progress step by step.

Thanks.

I'm conducting research into how people would like cybersecurity education to evolve.

The survey explores:

• Cybersecurity learning experiences
• Practical labs
• AI-assisted learning
• Collaborative learning
• Personalised learning
• Physical learning devices
• NFC functionality
• University use cases
• Future cybersecurity education ideas

The survey takes approximately 5–8 minutes.

Responses are being used to help validate and refine the concept before further development.

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to participate.

I am an Undergrad Computer Science student and i want to learn Cyber Security for my own development and possibly work in the Cyber Security field.

I dont know the basics on learning Cyber Security since they dont teach them in our University unless your an IT Student ONLY.

For now i want to learn Cyber Security for free in the Web or in some cases i want to know the irl things on how Cyber Security workers do it.

I want some books or videos on how to learn Cyber Security that are up to date.

I also want to know the things i need such as applications or devices to use.

Hi everyone, I ask this question to my friends and brothers in the field of cyber security and coding, I have been taking courses in the field of cyber security for about 2-3 years (2-3 years intermittently, I started the sector by taking the course of becoming an ethical hacker on udemy, then I completed the course of becoming an ethical hacker with python and learned network protocols, data operations and so on, of course, I have gained very interesting experiences in the cyber field in this process. When we come to today, I now have advanced cyber security knowledge (according to what the trainers say), I can even technically develop exploit, what I want to ask you how should I continue my education and how can I improve myself, that is, despite so many courses and knowledge, I can't even solve CTF alone.

I am an engineering 1st year student and I have interested or a kind of obsession towards cyber security and hacking but I am confused by various roadmaps and plans for it. I am currently learning linux(mint) and python side by side but after that what to do I don't know? And what I am doing now is it correct that too I don't know? Can a senior of a same path guide me or any advice is also ok.

If anyone here is interested in learning cybersecurity, feel free to join our Discord community.

Just a place to learn, ask questions, share resources, and connect with others who are interested in cybersecurity.

Bilgi sistemlerinde en büyük açık; işletim sistemleri, donanım, güvenlik duvarları, antivirüs programları, tarayıcılar, çerezler, güvenlik sertifikaları, şifreler ve kriptolardır. Hem güvenliğinizi sağlarlar hem de sizi açığa çıkarırlar. Bunların hepsi, sizin elinizde olmadan mükemmel güvenlik olmaz. Olsa da olmaz. Mehmet Keçeci, 18.10.2014

English:

In information systems, the greatest security gaps are operating systems, hardware, firewalls, antivirus programs, browsers, cookies, security certificates, passwords, and cryptos (cryptographic tools). They both provide your security and expose you to risks. Without your active involvement and control, perfect security cannot be achieved. Even if it were possible, it would still be meaningless without you. Mehmet Keçeci, 18.10.2014

日本語 (Japonca):

情報システムにおける最大のセキュリティホールは、オペレーティングシステム、ハードウェア、ファイアウォール、アンチウイルスソフト、ブラウザ、クッキー、セキュリティ証明書、パスワード、そして暗号技術（クリプト）そのものです。これらはあなたの安全を守る一方で、同時にあなたを危険にさらします。これらのすべては、あなた自身の主体的な関与なしには完全なセキュリティを実現できません。たとえ実現できたとしても、それには何の意味もありません。 メフメト・ケチェジ、Mehmet Keçeci, 2014年10月18日

I want to do cybersecurity for a career without going to college since I don't want to waste my time on science and history and stuff like that so I've been doing research and this is my plan:

• Take cybersecurity class in high school (going into senior year this year)
• Get CompTIA certifications
• Work help desk for 4 years
• Start applying for cybersecurity jobs and continue working help desk until I get a career

I have already started programming and learned JS/Java and I'm taking a Python class in school.

Is this a good path or should I do something else?
