Cybersecurity for Beginners: Basic Skills

[giblin]

3ys of cyber security at univetsity, no practical labs except advanced cryptography, 3 months internship in a SOC with no guidance, inability to do a Thesis because interesting projects are "too practical, just engineering problem, no real research advancment", inability to land a job in the fields for missing practical experience and back to my developer job (which luckily I love)... And here I am learning from a YT channel.
I think there is something terribly wrong with University education system if they manage to kill the interests in a super challanging and hot topic, closing behind doors of a library...

This channel is an incredible resource for all levels of understanding, I always learn something new with your content and it’s very short and digestible. Thank you for all you do!

I am in my 2/3 yearish and still haven’t done actual SOC or check sny advance or beginner testing for malware. But this makes me wanna start somewhere and be ahead of the game once I graduate

An interesting, Well explained and helpful video. Thank You Leo. After Windows 7, I, as a non business user, have used Linux which is enough for my requirements. I have been aware for some time that Linux has its own set of security threats and I am starting to learn more about this. Thanks again.

Wow the malwarebytes UI has changed alot. think it mauy be time to test it again. Thanks for the informative video Leo.

[MichaelAmen]

Leo, love your videos; even thought I am not a newbie and did learn something I kinda felt the video was a bit rushed and wished that you spent a little bit more time on each "basic skill" and listed the websites used in the video in the description. Thank you again for your work.

4:40 I used Malwarebytes way back in the day.... like maybe 2008 or so then antivir. Both honestly are a good choice.

[tony_two]

Thank you for this video! This is very helpful!

[amigazo]

Thanks for the video. A good procedure as well is to check the hash value of the file to see if it matches known malware signatures.

Bro fuck yeah you nailed this. How haven't I run into these tools in all my time on the internet. . . Every pc gamer in the world could benefit from learning to use something like sysinternal! Let alone how vital scam success could be reduced if we taught people to check if websites are legit in multiple stages. Loved how direct and clear this was, please keep doing what you're doing! I'll be sticking around!

[robertb]

Wooow! You made my interest grow bigger in cyber-security! :O

[MFmyk]

stopping half way through the video to comment how good this info is. I've been studying IT and cyber sec for a few months and all these are fantastic adds to my book marks tool set. Thank you and sub'd!

[anthonyyu]

So much useful info condensed into a short video.

[gemox]

Thank you very much. I'm an absolute beginner, so I do not wish to comment further. I just appreciate the help.

[Markyroson]

But what I don’t think was mentioned that really should have been is: please, for the love of whatever deity you hold holy, DO NOT run software you suspect to be malware just to see what processes it starts. That’s very, very bad advice outside of perhaps in a VM (and even then…only if you know what you’re doing).

[bibinraj]

It seems hybrid analysis is more likely to give false positives like the set up exe for sharex is shown as malicious on it (both crowdstrike and metadefender is green but falcon sandbox is red)

[veooquenodaa]

Thanks, great video! I didn't know this type of tools existed. I thought that in order to test a file, the best option was running it on a VM. I will make sure to run hybrid-analysis as the first time saver.

thanks for providing the malware bytes link. Also thank you to the malware bytes team for the free download

Seus vídeos que me inspiraram a trabalhar na área de segurança! Obrigado mesmo!

[bravepart]

Nice! Could I suggest you please consider making videos for people on how to help their parents or elderly relatives understand cyber attacks and scams, perhaps a super simple animated video for elderly people too? It's such a real vulnerability in society and we'll all experience it in one way or another! Cheers
