FASTEST way to become an Ethical Hacker and ACTUALLY get a job - UPDATED (2024)

[@markosaric9994]

you literally pointed at every certificate i doted down as "needed" on my way to OSCP and you said not to do those... I just finished my CCNA studies, just need to take the test now, and was planning on doing Comptia Sec+ next... but i will not. What you said makes a lot of sense, and during my CCNA studies i realized it's somehow wrong to get multiple choice on each exam. I have a decent amount of Python experience, and have been using Linux for the past 8 years, and for the last 10 years i've been working in IT (helpdesk level stuff), so it's time to go for my dream of cyber security. I'll follow your roadmap, and subscribe to your channel. Your way seems harder, but it makes a lot more sense. That analogy about learning to swim by reading a book really "hit the nail on the head"! Thank you for this, it was something i really needed but didn't know i needed.

[@UnixGuy]

hey mate, it’s definitely harder but you will be learning the skill needed to perfotm proper penetration testing - it’s also a lot more fun :)

[@tonyvelasquez6776]

Cissp and Ccna are irrelevant to pentesting. Cissp is for management and policy roles, ccna is for neteng roles. Totally different niches of security and not going to do anything but slow you down. There's no such thing as multiple choice in offsec, either you can find the vulns, exploit them, and report them, or you can't. Simple as that. Drop all that MQ shit and start using the keyword on THM,HTB,Proving grounds,etc

[@DJReacts777]

@markosaric8884 - tony is right. Those certs have nothing to do with security. I was a senior network engineer for years and have been a network architect for a quarter of my almost 3 decades in IT and I have CISSP. You need to be looking at actual stuff like pen testing or CEH.

@egatycasi you think ethical and legal are the same thing? That's cute

[@garychap8384]

I'm a gatekeeper and proud of it! So, you want to be a hacker, but think gatekeepers are unfairly holding you back? ... ummm, yeah... hopefully the irony of this 'gatekeeper' concept is dawning on you : ) Hackers grew up breaking things... pressing buttons marked "Don't press this button"... dismantling stuff to figure out how it works. If you need someone to hold your hand and teach you how to be a curious self starter that can solve novel and unique problems... ... go home! Or, alternatively, go get your CEH and get paid to use tools that others have written, to inform long reports your client isn't likely to read and make suggestions your client mostly won't follow... all so that they can tick a box that says : "are we proactive about our security?" (now, re-read that last paragraph again) If it appeals, you'll be a hacker in the same way that I WAS Spiderman, when I was 4 years old. So, yeah... *Choose your own adventure :* Page 1 You find yourself in a wide open space. Ahead of you are lots of fascinating objects who's purpose you cannot ascertain from here. Life is limitless and opportunities abound! An adult stands in front of you with their arms folded, shaking their head disapprovingly. They look grumpy and unhelpful. They are a gatekeeper (24HP, 0 Damage per attack) What do you do : a) If you cry, return to the top of this page b) To look around for another adult, go to page 4 c) To simply walk around them and investigate, go to page 312 d) If you wish call an abuse line, put down this book and go shoot yourself! *EDIT:* Just kidding about option (D) ... Really! don't ever do that! You are a beautiful and unique little precious snowflake - and the world is better with you in it ! Bug hugs and little bunny kisses!!! x x x

There are so many people out there looking for a new career, and it's so hard to find specific, useful information that they can use to determine if a) it's even something they would be interested in doing, b) is the market too saturated to be worth the time and money, c) what skills/learning track should they be focusing on in order to actually get a job? And many people, when you ask them about these things always come back with some cliche like "you get out what you put in." And then there are those click bait videos that make it sound like anyone can just get a certification and immediately start making upwards of $100 grand a year with no experience. Videos like this with specific, and actionable steps from someone who has actually become successful in the industry are priceless.

[@abhithesh]

do you need to pay $1500 if u are taking it again?

[@neocloak]

@@abhithesh to my knowledge no. Offsec has many ways to pay for it after a failed attempt. They have revamped the course since I took it last, so I could do an upgrade which costs significantly less. And if I failed more recently all I would pay for is a lab extension which comes with a retake attempt. A retake voucher without the lab would cost even less than that. I would have to check the prices on that again. But I recall retake vouchers costing in the high double digits or low triple digits in dollars.

[@tonyvelasquez6776]

No, $250. Oscp is very easy though, it's the most basic network pentesting. None of it is realistic, it's all disclosed CVEs. Real world hacking doesn't work like that 99% of the time, most companies that are competent have patch management programs

[@tonyvelasquez6776]

With that said though, it's a great beginner cert and can get you in the door and give you a baseline of offsec knowledge, but it's the bare bones knowledge needed

Hi sir I'm 16 yo can I start ethical hacking journey by doing certificates . or should I complete collage degree

[@UnixGuy]

you absolutely can do through certificates but you can also do both college and certificates :)

[@KrishnaDevotee-d4f]

@@UnixGuy sir I was planning to completely focus on ethical hacking by developing skills as certificates can save my time . Is it preferred

Thanks for the high quality content ... I'm on my way to pass the HTB CPTS and apply for a junior role, and i want to know if it's a good alternative to the certs mentioned in the video

yes HTB CPTS is a great course, you can also supplement with the ones that I mentioned :)

[@mrobvious6112]

But when it comes down to oscp... my friends... this will be the biggest challenge, so who over is taking the OSCP, good luck to you all

Hey man, thanks for this great video. It really helps me a lot. I have a question about hack the box. Since we should then pay for Academy or the normal Hack the Box?

they're different! I should've clarified that, the normal payment is for the labs not the academy

Thank you so much for this video. I have been in love with programming since March 2023, and I’ve tried a lot because this field is soo interesting. Ethical hacking felt like I finally found my place. So, thanks a lot for providing us with the information to fulfill our dreams.

[@UnixGuy]

my pleasure! enjoy it!

[@EkkoN7]

​@@UnixGuyHello, I have a question. I was curious about HackTheBox, and I am a bit confused. There is HackTheBox, and there is also HackTheBox Academy. In your video, you show us both. But if I am not mistaken, there are two different subscriptions. Or am I wrong?

[@jmd4257]

Thanks for the knowledge!! I am in my 2nd semester for an associates degree in Cybersecurity, and 100% want to be an ethical hacker. You saved me time & money because I was going to do the net+,sec+ first. Would it be smart to create a github to put on my resume & if so what type of projects should be included on there? THANK YOU!!!

[@UnixGuy]

hey mate, yes github is a great idea, but do that after you finish this roadmap, and by then you can experiment with different projects that can inspired by the certs in the video

[@ronp5615]

Excellent. Great use of nuance, humor, idiom and video lanterns.

[@UnixGuy]

Cant thank you enough for putting the info with clarity out there. Knowledge is meant to be shared and not stored. I have just begun my foray into cybersecurity and ethical hacking,which is a paid course. I had a tough time installing Kali Linux and maeta2 but i finally got both vms to talk to each other. Thank you again for your words of encouragement.....but after hearing this video,i feel overwhelmed already. So much to learn,absorb,implement,practise and then pass the exams.

thank you so much for this video. i’m new to IT / cybersecurity, but I’ve always had an interest in technology and the way it works. ethical hacking seems hard and like a lot of work, but i think i’m finally ready to dip my toes in and change career paths. i really appreciate this detailed video, hopefully i can comment again when i’m further down the path! time to start google cybersecurity course :)

I retire in 2 years from military, I thought I was going to do PMP, started studying, but my mind always wanders back to linux/Parrot OS security (prettiest gui). I think I'm going to pursue my dream of being a pentester. Learned linux about a decade ago, it's great having a foundation in it, haven't used much but wouldn't take long to get proficiency back....Your road map is super simple and attainable within 1.5 years with dedicated and consistent studying/practice....Thanks for this vid!!!

[@UnixGuy]

now the fun begins 😎

[@Ted_James]

This is all excellent advice! I wish I had seen this video 10 years ago. If someone wants to focus their career exclusively on, for example, web application penetration testing, do you feel it's necessary to complete the OSCP and others versus studying web-related testing techniques only?

[@UnixGuy]

its definitely not necessary but it really helps specially in landing your first role :)

You should pump the eEDA before eJPT, I think it warms you up for eJPT. In the end if you pass both you will be beginner purple.

[@UnixGuy]

mmm it’s not the usual path that I recommend but yes it might help :)

[@tonyvelasquez6776]

There's no need to do a "warmup" to the eJPT.. The eJPT is the warm up, and I consider even that a waste. Just go OSCP on the first time and screw all the rest. How I did it and how my mentees do it too

[@MariaMarmoGarcia]

I'm watching most of your videos. I'm an economist but would love to transition to Cybersecurity, specifically Ethical Hacking or Digital Forensics. I'm still reading and learning about all the possible areas within cybersecurity, and those are the ones I like most (and threat intelligence too). I'll start with Google Certificate and then follow what I enjoy most from then on. I've always been a windows user, which might be a disadvantage maybe. Can I use a virtual environment in which I download Linux to use for the courses and practices? Or would it be better to have both systems installed on my laptop and boot Linux separately?Thank you!

[@UnixGuy]

if you’re starting from zero then this plan is the best one to follow: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKuTg39qjdqYY6M as you follow it you will learn what OS to use and how :)
