Career Resources

  • Cybersecurtiy Education – A great resource to learn about the different fields available in cybersecurity. Learn about job responsibilities, salary expectations, and certifications that pertain to that job role
  • Daniel Messler: How to build a Cybersecurity Career – The entire blog is a goldmine of information, but this page in particular is great if you’re trying to figure out how to get started. He touches on certifications, home labs and projects, and conferences. One of the reasons I decided to finally kick off this website.

Home Lab Tools

  • Rufus – An awesome tool to help you quickly create bootable USB drives.
  • OS Boxes – Ready to deploy VMs for VirtualBox and VMware
  • Navy Postgraduate School Labtainers – VM lab containers with over 50 exercises. Go to the lab summary page for a description of each exercise.
  • FireEye Free Security Software – Free tools for learning analysis, research, and IOCs
  • Vulnhub – “Vulnerable By Design” VMs. Break, hack, and exploit your way in.

Networking

  • Cisco Packet Tracer – Level up your networking knowledge by using and learning Packet Tracer, a network device simulator.
  • Skills For All – Another free Cisco resource for learning cybersecurity. Hundreds of hours of content and labs.
