How to Learn Cyber Security Faster In 5 Simple Steps

[@sinapanahimehr5710]

When you said in the end "I know it sounds a lot but you've probably already done this with other activities" and then showed the games I had played, a HUGE lamp turned on over my head. You're absolutely correct and you reminded me that I'm already good at it. Thanks Cyberspacial Always looking forward to your informative content. This channel is a goldmine.

[@tayoxo]

can you list the games pls :)

[@bringbackdislikes3195]

@@tayoxo I'm late but here's the list (Games are in correct order) : Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War, League Of Legends, Rocket League, Minecraft, Grand Theft Auto 5, Overwatch

This is my new favorite channel. I’ve been studying professor messer for the last month, and he does a good job. But I definitely felt like the cramming of so much info in a short time could be counter productive. This mind map theory makes sense for sure. So does spacing things out. These videos also do a very good job of visualizing to force engagement.

[@anonymous-sec]

I've found certifications very useful. They are good do get the basics of a specific subject down. And from there you can start to build on more advanced concepts. The study also happens over several months with a lot of notes, mind maps and flashcards.

[@LS-th5hy]

I personally often do not get enough out of youtube videos to say that i really picked up on something new today, and that it was genuinely educative in that sense, this is the first video that makes complete sense with coherent basis and great & straightforward delivery. Thank you for your work

[@redtiger8275]

I get so overwhelmed that I get discouraged and I just give up. I have been stuck in this loop for years

[@marcoswick2366]

Same here

[@jbfin6328]

You are not alone.

[@Zorgsen]

I would try smaller parts if you get stuck in a loop. Kinda like babies learn to walk. First learn to sit balanced, then when you know that try to, from a crawling position, pull yourself up to standing and practice that slot until you can stand without holding on to something. Then it's time to try and shift your balance to be able to move one foot without falling and do that a lot (with many falls) until you can get from the table to the couch and then keep doing the same thing until you know it good enough that you can stand and walk around without falling. Your target is reached, you might still fall from time to time but as long as you get up again and keep walking that knowledge is getting more and more locked in. Then on to the next adventure.

[@bytefu]

- You have to focus. Don't try to learn everything in parallel, it doesn't work. Of course, if you have ADHD (I do), it may be hard to stop yourself from opening dozens of tabs and then getting overwhelmed. But it's really important to learn one concept at a time. - Persistence is paramount. Don't give up when you stumble upon something you just don't get, you'll get it eventually. Maybe the concept needs to be slept on, or maybe you need to approach it from a different angle. It often helps to return to it after learning another, related one. Again, can be very hard with ADHD, when you're hyperfocused on the topic and just can't let go and switch. But if you do, you have to go back at some point and reiterate. Maybe this time something will click in your mind. - Just accept the fact that everyone needs to put time in a topic to understand it. There are some geniuses that just absorb information like a sponge and can use it almost immediately, but the most brilliant specialists are not that, they just have been dumping shitloads of their spare time into learning and practice, for years. - Pick some topic you're really, really interested in and be at least a bit specific. And again, with ADHD it's pretty much the only way to learn. I've never been able to do well anything I'm not really interested in, the information just won't stay in the head. - Most importantly, pay attention to your mental health and know your limitations. If only I knew I had ADHD earlier in life, I could avoid so much anxiety, depression, addiction and other nasty crap, for dealing with which I had to go to a psychotherapist and take meds for 3 years straight. Turns out, there is medication that can help with ADHD, now I take it and finally can read a page of a book without starting to wander in my fantasy world after a few sentences, I am less impulsive and more calm. Have trouble with sleep? There are breathing techniques for that (and meds, if it's really bad), mostly focusing on lowering the heart rate. Don't consume any caffeine after morning, 1/4 of caffeine will still be circulating in your body 12 hours later and mess up your deep sleep. Don't work too intensely, give yourself a short break every hour or hour and a half. Go for a walk, stretch, clean up the mess on the table, whatever. And don't work too much, or you will burn out. Sitting in front of PC for 12 hours every day is not healthy at all. Feel tired? Then rest, don't push your body and mind beyond the limit. The topic you're researching will wait you tomorrow. In general, put in the work, but don't be too hard on yourself. Don't try to actually reach perfection, use it as a guiding star. And, of course, watch everything on Cyberspatial, he gives a lot of good advice.

[@ChristopherJohnston]

Been there. I've just started to ignore anything else. Took me a long time to build the habit of ignoring non-security content (and I still falter now and then)

[@louiem5985]

I understand how you feel the burn out. I tried for about 1 yr to pass MCSA cert and got burn out. After that I didn't feel like touching a computer studying or anything that had to do with learning. After a whole year I'm starting again but with a different cert. Still hard to retain the info but glad I seen this video. Going to do a brain store and time line on how to study. Never did that and always studies for hours. Glad you are back and can't wait to see more videos.

[@Cyberspatial]

Thanks for sharing! Spacing it out over time is definitely the way to go.

[@searchbug]

One of the best 15 minute video about Cyber security! Promoting digital security helps create a safer digital environment for individuals and society. Educated and aware students will foster cybersecurity in their homes.

[@vanessid0001]

I'm so delighted to have seen this video before I go out to the work industry

[@LinhNguyen-nh8oq]

This is the best video about cybercecurity I have ever seen

[@dragonwood4562]

Thanks for this video. It was a great reminder for me. I've attempted college several times (Computer and/or Software Engineering). However, each time I realized I was teaching myself more than I was learning from the class. Plus, my OCD refused to let me use single letters for variables (i. e. n. etc.) and I would get points off on my projects because of it. But, this video reminded me of the one thing I learned in my journey. That is, I learn best when I can relate what I'm learning to either something I'm doing or have done. For example: I taught myself HTML by just having to maintain a website. I taught myself CSS and Javascript by just wanting to improve that site. I taught myself VBA by just wanting to streamline my workflow. Going to "school" to learn something doesn't work for someone like me. I need tasks that actually mean something and "Hello World" doesn't mean a thing to me. Thanks again.

The way you keep the content dynamic & fun and follow through with great information is phenomenal. From my work and life experience I already know and practice a lot of these concepts. You can explain them very well, at a relatively young age if I may say so. Well done, you got a new subscriber!

[@mypointofview5400]

Just liked and subscribed. Can't find words how great this channel is. Watching the videos in this channel is like joining a therapy session. The quality of the content, high-definition videos, etc. ... just hands down!

[@onyinyechiobialor6042]

Welcome back, long time, I knew you would be back we waited for you.

[@yurilsaps]

If you want get into cyber security, you need networking, programming, operation systems, hardware and other bases. Don't jump to cyber security before understanding computers

[@maksudmuzaffarov]

The quality of video was amazing and the content is so straighforward. Thank you so much, please keep going to make the vidoes, which are so lucrative.

[@starshipx1282]

@1:57 just about sums me up. I usually end up asking myself why I always go down these rabbit holes and it's not just in things relating to cyber security.

[@puncher939]

I use Notion to organize "my knowledge" instead of having a mind map. I write down important things that I find interesting and you can really easy organize it. The cool thing, you can have it on different devices (also mobile) for free.

[@MichaelJones-us9ty]

Two minutes in, and you have described my learning journey. So far, in my computer science classes, there has not been much on the topic. The Bootcamp does start to sound good.

Hello, I recently came across your KZbin content and found it so engaging that I haven't felt the need to look elsewhere. As someone who is just beginning a journey into cybersecurity, I am keen to learn more. Could you possibly share if you offer any training that covers the top five skills in cybersecurity you've discussed? Alternatively, I would greatly appreciate any recommendations you have for quality training in this field. Thank you for your guidance.

[@ETERNAL-G]

BRO THANK U 4 SIMPLIFYING THINGS 👍

[@TheOGJeff]

I'm almost to my associates, and I feel like I haven't really learned how to do anything. The labs I've done don't seem to be realisticly based and just simple examples to introduce what is being taught. All in a short amount of time too. They walk you through it, which is fine, but not when there isn't enough time to absorb everything, and they're not based in real situations like I said before. I've also heard the same line as in the video of actually learning when on the job, but I am afraid that not many people will want someone who has an associates but still doesn't know what to do and has no experience. I'm sure I'll find somewhere to start, but it's just something that I think about a lot and gets me down

do you recommend using a specific software as a 'second brain' for mind mapping?

I'm sure there's great software out there, but pen and paper for me. If I really need to, I can take a picture of my sheet and then digitize it.

Software would be better to update/edit

[@shaynewilliams4482]

HOLY FCK THANKS! When you used googles advance search operators or whatever, it reminded me of when I was a kid, and even the elementary school library still had shit like regex that they would teach us about. But as I got older and saw none of that information for google search bars or any other search bars I was starting to think I was hallucinating as a kid.
