Man these wizardry classes are getting crazy

[RoninAuron]

Reverse engineering and malware analysis to get into cybersecurity is like learning to drive a formula 1 before learning to walk LOL

as a senior security consultant who did abit of everything red team, blue team, audits, pentests, malware analysis, security tools development, project management…what was said represents a tiny portion of the security field, even pentesting itself is broad, you dont need to
know c or assembly.

[endlessvoid]

You do not need to know C or Assembly, or tbh any language, to work in security. Most people I’ve worked with don’t (but probably all of the great ones do). It definitely helps- Python mostly. You will be automating way more often than you’ll looking at low level code (unless you’re doing reverse engineering, niche exploit development, or some parts of appsec, but even appsec is now a lot of cloud, web frameworks, etc.)

You should learn networking, Linux command line, Powershell and Windows internals, OSINT, read lots of blog and learn to identify the attacker behaviors (how do they accomplish different goals then abstract that).

[jmp_esp]

This is good if you're looking to go down the AppSec side of security. There are other routes (SOC, Red Team, Policy, etc) with differing skillsets and routes to entry.

For example, a Detection & Response Engineer needs to know how to write detections, reverse malware, manage incidents, general IR... Don't really need to know systems languages for that.

I don't know that korean programmer, but I already love them, not just for making/maintaining the site, but because they too love Ragnarok Online.

Cybersecurity is so huge you could be a cybersecurity engineer and never know how to code

[MrCherry]

The moment he said assembly I was like "I'm out"

[Andreas-ghis]

You don't need to know system languages to be a security engineer... most security engineers work on web applications, microservices and so on. Assembly doesn't get you in that door. So there are multiple routes

[drew-etmm]

This is not my experience. My Cybersecurity classes are all focused on networks and how to segment networks, configure firewalls, and watch log aggregators for alerts. Frustratingly little malware analysis or anything that resembles binary exploitation

[gamingstorage]

Best page ever 😂 good old ragnarok online monster cards - love that game

[Qyfashae]

Best tip i got when i started out was. "First.. Become a cyber security researcher". You will basicly research your way towards cs engineering and niches within this to specialize

[fablouis]

Never went to school, learn some code (help for scripting). Then ive learn what i could about system, network, organisation.
Now im a security consultant presales.

There is not only one job in cybersecurity.

[RedAngelSR]

Those challenges pictures are from Rangarok Online btw. Awesome game.

[mjango]

You explained how to get into binary exploitation, which is a very small portion of cyber security, which most industry professionals don‘t get in touch with often.

[IronKreisel]

My friend is getting a Bachelor in cyber security in London and the only coding he is learning is python and js/html/css and only basic levels of both. They learn the basics of networking and the very basics of digital forensics as well. I know more than him in any of these fields as a web front and backend developer and while I share the sentiment of many in this comment section that cyber security is a vast field, I firmly believe that no one in his class will be qualified for anything above cyber security related support. I.e. working for proof-point on their simulated email phishing campaign product support. If you wanna do interesting stuff in cyber security like appsec or reverse engineering specifically he is giving good advice.

[dedsec]

Can you please make a guide for a very beginners guys who wants to enter exploit development?
- What best resources for learning C
- How to practice C
- Best resources for study assembly
- how can we practice reverse engineering
- what after that ?

We love you ❤

[zuberkariye]

Certainly! Here's a refined version of your statement:

Understanding Assembly and C languages is crucial for malware reverse engineering. It's also essential to grasp computer fundamentals, networking, defensive and offensive strategies, as well as scripting languages like Python, Bash, and PowerShell. Additionally, familiarity with operating systems such as Windows, Linux, AD, web application security, compliance, standards, policies, procedures, NIST, and various frameworks is beneficial. Proficiency in tools like Splunk, Crowdstrikes, SIEM, EDR, XDR, nmap, Metasploit, and Burp Suite might be necessary depending on the specific field or role you're pursuing.

[PopeShreesus]

He's advising for a *very* specific part of cybersecurity. As others have said, you don't need to know how to code to get into cyber. You could do cyber risk, threat analysis, simple vulnerability assessments, etc.

I'd say best thing to do is get training, doesn't matter to much where from. And use that knowledge to get certs from orgs like ISC² or CompTIA
