Learning Roadmap

A structured path from novice to cyber-operative.

01. Network Fundamentals

The foundation of the internet. Learn OSI model, TCP/IP handshakes, DNS resolution, HTTP protocols, and subnetting logic.

02. Linux & Scripting

Abandon the GUI. Master the Linux command line, file permissions, Bash automation, and Python for security scripting.

03. Cryptography Basics

Protecting data at rest. Understand hashing (SHA), encryption (AES/RSA), digital signatures, and PKI infrastructure.

04. Penetration Testing

Offensive Operations. Learn reconnaissance (Nmap), scanning, exploitation (Metasploit), and report writing.

05. Malware Analysis

Dissecting the threat. Static and dynamic analysis of malicious binaries, reverse engineering, and sandboxing.

06. Incident Response

The Blue Team. Detect breaches, analyze logs (Splunk), contain threats, and perform digital forensics.
