BeginnerCybersecurity Foundations
Understand how websites and attacks work
The minimum base every security skill builds on: how the web, networks and authentication actually behave before you try to defend them.
- 1.Internet & web fundamentals — How DNS, HTTP and TLS connect a browser to a site.
- 2.Networking basics — IP addressing, ports and how traffic reaches a host.
- 3.Linux basics — Navigating a shell and reading logs where servers live.
- 4.HTTP in practice — Requests, responses, headers and status codes.
- 5.Authentication — Sessions, tokens and how sign-in actually works.
- 6.Common web vulnerabilities — The classes of bugs that lead to compromise.
- 7.Security monitoring — Watching for change and knowing your baseline.
- 8.Incident response basics — What to do first when something looks wrong.
IntermediateSOC & Blue Team Path
Prepare for a Tier 1/2 SOC analyst role
Build the detection and triage muscle: read telemetry, write detections and handle incidents methodically.
- 1.Networking & OS fundamentals — Read packets and processes fluently.
- 2.Baseline certification — Security+ or equivalent grounding.
- 3.Log analysis — Stand up a home SIEM and query real events.
- 4.Detection writing — Author Sigma rules and tune out noise.
- 5.Incident practice — Write clear handovers and post-incident notes.
IntermediateWeb Security Path
Find and fix common web weaknesses
Move from knowing vulnerability names to actually finding, reproducing and remediating them safely.
- 1.HTTP & the browser model — Same-origin policy, cookies and content types.
- 2.OWASP Top 10 — The most common and impactful web risks.
- 3.Hands-on labs — Practice against intentionally vulnerable apps only.
- 4.Secure configuration — Headers, TLS and transport hardening.
- 5.Remediation — Turn a finding into a fix a developer can ship.
