I like how you use Star Wars characters to explain the 3 different types of cyber security analysts. It’s funny and relatable, therefore easy to understand. Thank you for this!
@@Cyberspatial It’ll be a hit or miss, I guess. Like in TED talks, people who give speeches has to insert a bit of a joke in their speech to grab their audience’s attention and make them listen. In my opinion, when speakers do that, I don’t see them as a guru or some super expert - but instead as a human being who has quirks just like me - which makes me feel comfortable listening to them, therefore relatable. So corny is good! Showing a bit of personality is good. You do you! In any case, you bring great content!
I'm in the opposite boat. I'm a web developer who wishes more web developers knew how networking worked, and various ways bad coding could open us up to attacks.
2 other strong benefits for learning how to code are: 1. Being able to perform code reviews and reverse engineering. This is the bread and butter of security researchers. Security researchers are often some of the highest payed and most technically advanced security people. If you cannot code, you will not be able to advance to this level. 2. Being able to code allows you get a much deeper understanding of how technologies work and how software engineers work. Once you build your first web app, you will be able to have much deeper understanding of what can wrong in apps and how can those problems be exploited
Two excellent points! In the spirit of Star Wars, coding is almost like the Force. The deeper your understanding and mastery of it, the more you can manipulate the world.
Yo, man I have been watching your vids and I really appreciate your wealth of knowledge shared with us: the books you recommend, tips on where to get started, and overall general insights. I really do appreciate it. It seems that the IT field has some secret cult-like mantra of keeping the knowledge they've obtained hidden and most people are not willing to share. I never understood it. Thank you so much and in my senior years, I want to give back to the community. All knowledge is borrowed: we are not born with it and we die, we must leave it.
Great stuff! I would like to add one more thing that for most of the people with half baked programming skill, it's much better to stick to the ready available tool even though it might not be the most comfortable for you, than making something on your own. Never underestimate your ability to screw things up
Bro you are incredible, thank you for making these videos. I was planning to go into cyber security but I’m glad I’ve started to do my own independent study before entering any courses. I wanna be ahead of the curve by the time I get my foot through the door and people like you help do that. Thank you for the videos 👊🏼👊🏼
I'm an older new student to I T and I appreciate greatly your guidance and knowledge in the depths and paths of it's various fields. Please continue to lead.
I just graduated studying primarily software engineering and realized I like the scripting distinction better, and have gotten more interested in security. I'm hoping what I learned can help but I'd rather use programming as more of a tool for a task than developing fully fleshed out software. The former seems more hands on where the latter seems more boring and extremely reliant on whole teams working toward building and maintaining something. I don't know, it seems more proactive and less boring. Had I realized this earlier, maybe I would have changed course a little bit, but I'm glad to at least now feel like I'm genuinely interested in something rather than studying it because I feel like I need to. I hope I can one day get good at security in general, and maybe my programming knowledge will serve me. Maybe I'll take a dev position for now and learn more about security, and kind of specialize on my own time.
Please, if you all are going to learn to code, make sure you understand how and why the languages work and the underlying systems. Just a heads up!!! Too many learning to code, but can't understand beyond the basics... Don't give up, you will get there.
I started building tools when I studied 3D animation, but latter on I got more in depth into other script languages to also build small tools. And now using Linux I learned a lot and I can say that is like a super power because while everyone goes crazy with the UI you can solve things in a fraction of the time with code, so I think having coding skills for cyber security is essential.
I'm trying to switch careers from IT Consulting in the Life Sciences sector (@Accenture) to CyberSecurity. This content has really been helping me in "fine tuning" my trajectory in terms of what items I should be focusing on. Awesome content - subscribed.
Another reason to learn to code is that it's well, fun. And learning python and java isn't rocket science. But it's time consuming, because it's NOT like riding a bike. The first language I learned was Turbo Pascal decades ago and I never used it professionally and I've pretty much completely forgotten it.
Thanks for sharing this video. I recently earned a Graduate Certificate in Cyber Security from the University of Phoenix. My background in physical security and proficiency with computers make me a highly qualified candidate. Being a novice to programming, I am eager to learn coding in Cyber Security. It is the act of programming cyber security that instructs the computer what to do and ensures that information is protected from cyber criminals. Your knowledge of coding and cyber security is extensive. My goal is to become certified in Comptia Network+ and Comptia Security+ through a tutor who can break down the concepts in coding, cyber security, and prepare me to break them down.
Literally starting my first info security position next week. Transitioning from a non-tech position at work to the cyberteam. My supervisor said I do not need to code for my role, but it looks like for career development, I should get at least some basic python and bash skills the first year.
Lots of more senior technical folks won't want to invest their time with you unless you demonstrate some basic understanding and competence. "How fast til' he becomes useful to me" is what they're probably thinking. Definitely learn it!
SQL querying is another coding language that cybersecurity pros should have in their backpocket. Combine that with scripting and a couple of developer-level languages of your choice (JavaScript and C++ being my picks due to how prevelant they are) and you'll be sitting pretty.
Recently got an admission to study Cyber security and computer forensics, for a PG degree in Canada. I'm a rookie to this. Your videos are a ray of sunshine. Please keep them coming. God bless.
We recently ran into some technical difficulties with our frontend hosting provider causing us to lose some data. In light of this we need to enter into maintenance mode for the short term while we put things back together. We appreciate your support and will let everyone know once we are back up and running and what the impacts to users will be. ~Thank you for your patience and understanding~
Great video, thank you. I really appreciated what you said about starting off with scripting. I know of experienced Network engineers who have started off making simple scripts with Powershell before moving onto Python or other languages and working in Devops.
Woow! Where have you been all this time!? I'm definitely subscribing! You are a talented mentor who has the gift to explain everything in simple terms!! Keep it up
As someone coming into the cybersec space, this is invaluable content. I've always wondered how programming/coding would aid me, and the way you have laid it out has just cleared it all up so concisely! Glad to be watching your channel and the great content grow so rapidly!
love this video recently wanted to change fields to software engineering and electrical. i have to learn coding while in school and doing freelance in cyber security does not seem bad at all.
I'm going for programming. One of the courses I have to take is called "prog for cyber sec" . Pre req, intro to basic networking. Don't care for networking but I'm enjoying programming. It does go hand in hand
Love your videos bro, just getting into Cybersecurity and scripting is a must, need at least the basics in order to build a solid foundation in the field. Keep the content coming and thank you for what you do.
@M D , I have an interest in Cybersecurity but I have no prior knowledge in computer science.However , I'm good at Math and Physics which those 2 subjects go really well for any computer field degree.However , I'm only in year 11/ grade 11 student do you think I can do cyber security?
@@Xarishher You can absolutely get into cybersecurity, age or stage in your educational path is not necessarily important. I do however recommend you start attaining computer netowrking knowledge as networking is, in my personal opinion, the foundation of cybersecurity. Start reading, watching videos, and most importantly, getting your hands on skills asap!
Thanks Ricky for doing this! And thanks to SANS podcast I was able to know you and your youtube channel! This video is what I need right now as I just got my first job in infosec and was wondering how studying python would benefits me in the long run. And you definitely motivate me to learn programming ever more. Please keep up your good work Ricky!
I just discovered this channel and I really like your videos! I'm currently at the end of my first year of an IT study and going towards the infrastructure side (networking, OS, virtual machines etc) and your videos are really inspiring! I didn't have any previous knowledge starting this study so compared to some classmates I feel really dumb some times but thanks to your videos I'm definitely planning to increase my knowledge during summer break 😁 You really motivated me 💜
I have one more year to go and started teaching myself coding a few years ago but i definitely wished i started earlier because it makes things so much easier. in the long run especially with scripting problems i could just write a line or two instead of clicking around or figuring out linux commands, so much easier to understand what the script is actually saying although linux is still better.
I'm finishing a cibersecurity course and then I've a 5 month internship. I'm not new in the world of IT since my school background and formation is programming. At that time in 97/96 I had c/c++, VB, COBOL, hardware, protocols etc. Now the course I'm finishing (after a year) , I had maths, algorithms, c/c++/python/JavaScript (node, angular), cibersecurity IT frameworks , It frameworks , legislation, EU legislation, my country's legislation , laws to data protection, networks, work with CLI, virtual machines, Kali, Windows servers, working with siems, SQL, Apache, API rest, etc etc etc. I don't think it's difficult, but yes the amount of information is neverending, and the skills to perfect are neverending also. So nothing new to someone with background in IT. If a person in IT stagnates...well.... it's dead to the work market.
Personally, I wouldn't describe software development that way. I've done software development since the PC was born and know like 17 languages. I've never had to write algorithms or libraries much at all. Rather I just code to solve problems; I think of software development much broader to formulate solutions to problems some big some not so big. Regardless I always learn a great deal listening to you. Thank you so much you are awesome.
Great way of putting it! For beginners needing "some" kind of answer, it's easier to draw solid distinctions for them. The more experienced you get, terms and definitions become more fluid and flexible. Awesome to have you watching!
You have no idea how much relief I feel with this video. Thank you for uploading it. Question, what if you just can't understand code entirely. Would it stop my career progression because I can't understand even the basics? And does Digital Forensics focus on any type of programming languages?
Digital forensics focuses less on programming, but learning some scripting with Python can go a long way to do disk/memory carving and analysis. It wouldn't at all stop your career progression, though it would limit you to roles that don't specifically require them!
Ur videos are absolutely amazing and super helpful. I've been trying to watch f5 dev central, but lack the base knowledge and terminology to understand everything. Your videos though are really resourceful at all levels.
Another great video. I was thinking I am going to ask you more about your journey as watching this video and then you shared some of you Journey. I did some university subjects in the early days learning Assembly Language and some Pascal at the time but never really did very well I would get frustrated as already mature age student at the time and the young school leavers would knock over their projects in a 1/4 of the time. As I am looking at leveraging my previous IT Management Skills and moving into Cyber a day of binging on your site has already helped me to work out some possible pathways. Definitely going to get at least some understanding and practice with scripting in Python to start with. Would love to hear more about you Journey.
This is what i wanted to see mate, i have no skills what so ever and i found some online courses for Cyber Sec. i will try to get in , life is bout risking 😃🥃
This stuff doesn't change very much. If they do, it's really minor There's also newer editions. Unix and Linux System Administration (5th ed) came out in 2017, for example.
I agree 101% but as a software developer that just switched to cybersecurity I tend to lose a lot of time trying to reinvent the wheel instead of looking for readily available tools
thanks a lot sir I really appreciate I am a software developer and I was thinking about getting into cyber and now you just opened my mind on getting into cyber thanks a lot
thank you for the content! my only problem is that the video has all this nice offices and i don't know IT departments maybe, but I work from home on the same sofa where I sleep and this is just soooo sad
We're entering a world where companies are breaking their leases on those nice offices, and having people work from home anyways. Time to upgrade your home office!
First of all, this is really great content and watch almost all of your videos, you deserve millions+ of subs and you will get once. I just got a macbook and I am learning (Cisco - packet tracert) networking, (Microsoft) CMD, Powershell, AD, GPO, cloud, web, and more, hope everyone and I become an expert at tech one day, stay health..
AS A EX NETWORK SECURITY ENGINEER AND A CURRENT INFORMATION SECURITY ANALYST CODING IS NEVER NEEDED UNLESS YOU ARE CODING ZERO DAY EXPLOITS YOU WILL NEED BASICS OF PYTHON OR JAVA SCRIPTS AND MAYBE SOME RUBY BUT THATS IT BUT I WILL RECOMMEND POWERSHELL AND BASHELL SCRIPTING thank you for reading my ted talk
I just bought two python books for my computer logic class as a reference . I am studying cyber security and I got gifted that middle book but I don’t have the bash one yet
I am learning cybersecurity and have 0 knowledge of coding but would luv to learn and practice. Can you recommend a few languages other than python that I can look at.
I think one can study cyber security as analyst without learning coding right? Some postgraduate courses/programs have not tech in it for example, master of cyber security analysis - has not tech in it like python, sql or r(studio). What do you think?
I’m 35 and I’m about to maybe maybe waste 17k in a cyber security program that last 11 months but I have no clue of computer network or coding or programming these people are telling me I will learn python in the program but I feel I should learn other things first
I’m at the tool operator level but want to learn Python badly. I took a class in college for basics and did like it but then just never had a chance to practice. You’re definitely making me want to practice it more now!
Cyber security without programming knowledge is like Jet lee before he move to america. His muscle aren't so big, but still can fight awesomely. Add some programming knowledge and u will able to become jet lee that we know now days, he is a TANK
Question? Which one do you think 🤔 might be more touch to learn or master, cyber security, let’s say security analysts which is one of path in cyber security or a software developer? I’m trying to see which route I’ll go. Thanks for your great content!!!
Cyber security can use a more software developers, specifically with respect to tools and infrastructure. The two aren't mutually exclusive! You can do software development, concentrating on cyber security topics.
Thank you so much for making these videos. Your thorough explanation on various topics has been a great help to me. What an inspiring man to the tech world!
I recently graduated with a computer science degree and I know coding but I want to get into cyber security. What skills should I work on and what jobs should I look for to continue to use my development skills?
Congratulations on your degree! Check out some of my other videos on key skills and getting into cyber. If you are looking for work, I recommend you watch some of my short videos with cybersecurity recruiters on my LinkedIn channel. They have a lot of great tips for finding the right job for all levels of experience. www.linkedin.com/in/gorickytan/
as a programmer i find it funny how you went to the guy to implement your solution in python to make your solution faster 😄. my first thought is C or Rust
Ur ideas matched with my experience . I always thought that hacker is a pro - programmer . then i met a guy who i paid for teaching me how to hack , he doesn't know how to code at the time when he taught me , but he teach me web hacking , phishing , creating viruses all using lot of different tools . Like just creating viruses alone , he use tool to generate it , then use 3 different programs to encrypt and by pass antivirus , bin it with file type that we normally use so that it can fool people. He is an expert of using tools . And now he learn c# and writing his own viruse and sell in online (sadly he doesn't teach me ) Anyway i can only do some SQL injection in specific website , coz i still a black box user ,don't know much about cyber security

Good for you!
The edition of the videos of this channel is just too good. Keep it up!
Thanks for the support!
I find it funny how one of the most replayed portions of the video is the Rogue One Vader scene. That shit has a gravitational pull.
Mastering the basics is important on any given day. Interpreting code is a prerequisite to security audit I feel personally
Reading and understanding code is important. In fact, most programmers spend more time doing this than actually writing.
Ur videos are absolutely amazing and super helpful. I've been trying to watch f5 dev central, but lack the base knowledge and terminology to understand everything. Your videos though are really resourceful at all levels.
Thanks for the kind words! The content can be really dense, and we try our best!
Does Data Structures and Algorithms matter in Cyber Security?
Thanks for the content not many of these in TH-cam
Appreciate it! :)
Simply amazing. I hope you have great success with your videos.
Another great video. I was thinking I am going to ask you more about your journey as watching this video and then you shared some of you Journey. I did some university subjects in the early days learning Assembly Language and some Pascal at the time but never really did very well I would get frustrated as already mature age student at the time and the young school leavers would knock over their projects in a 1/4 of the time. As I am looking at leveraging my previous IT Management Skills and moving into Cyber a day of binging on your site has already helped me to work out some possible pathways. Definitely going to get at least some understanding and practice with scripting in Python to start with. Would love to hear more about you Journey.
This is what i wanted to see mate, i have no skills what so ever and i found some online courses for Cyber Sec. i will try to get in , life is bout risking 😃🥃
Risk-taking builds fortunes. Go for it!
Hey did you do it I want to join too
Almost ready to go to n.y.u. for my bachelors in cybersecurity. never had any experience. may want to study first and see if I can keep up..
Thank you for your kind information. I really understand now about how important is learning programming language.
Glad to hear!
understand the basics of the software untill now. Your guide is very very good quite simple and very helpful. I gave you a like and a sub
Question:
Aren't books that are 10 years old (like the one you recommended about Bash) are too outdated?
This stuff doesn't change very much. If they do, it's really minor There's also newer editions. Unix and Linux System Administration (5th ed) came out in 2017, for example.
I agree 101% but as a software developer that just switched to cybersecurity I tend to lose a lot of time trying to reinvent the wheel instead of looking for readily available tools
😆 so true! Until you can't get their code to work and just end up redo-ing it yourself.
The best most engaging video explanation regarding cybersecurity. I only wish my uni lectures were half this engaging.
Professors should learn to be creators!
man you were a big shot in Rush Hour and now you doing cyber sec? Good for you man
🤣
thanks a lot sir
I really appreciate
I am a software developer and I was thinking about getting into cyber and now you just opened my mind on getting into cyber
thanks a lot
This was amazing, really great information I have subscribed!!
Awesome, thank you!
Boy this channel is fantastic # can't watch TH-cam video without visiting cyberspatial
*God bless you bro
So nice of you! Thank you!
thank you for the content! my only problem is that the video has all this nice offices and i don't know IT departments maybe, but I work from home on the same sofa where I sleep and this is just soooo sad
We're entering a world where companies are breaking their leases on those nice offices, and having people work from home anyways. Time to upgrade your home office!
I did a coding bootcamp for web development, so I know my way around code. I’m just not the best at actually coding.
First of all, this is really great content and watch almost all of your videos, you deserve millions+ of subs and you will get once. I just got a macbook and I am learning (Cisco - packet tracert) networking, (Microsoft) CMD, Powershell, AD, GPO, cloud, web, and more, hope everyone and I become an expert at tech one day, stay health..
Hey wat MacBook do you recommend in cyber security
Also temme your specs
Great to hear. Thank you!
@@Cyberspatial hey wat laptop do you recommend in cyber security degree and wat specs
@ben bryan Macbook Pro isn't a bad option.
Thank you! This is all great stuff for a cyber sec. student and trying to change careers
Hope it helps! Best of luck! :)
AS A EX NETWORK SECURITY ENGINEER AND A CURRENT INFORMATION SECURITY ANALYST CODING IS NEVER NEEDED UNLESS YOU ARE CODING ZERO DAY EXPLOITS YOU WILL NEED BASICS OF PYTHON OR JAVA SCRIPTS AND MAYBE SOME RUBY BUT THATS IT BUT I WILL RECOMMEND POWERSHELL AND BASHELL SCRIPTING thank you for reading my ted talk
What certs did u learn to become a network security engineer?
Why did you delete this a few hours ago?! , the video is amazing, and just what I needed
Apologies! Had uploaded a wrong version 😅
@@Cyberspatial doesn't matter, it was good 😂
@@Cyberspatial yeah i was wondering as well it said private video when it popped in my homepage
th-cam.com/video/Vp_Z5rr4udQ/w-d-xo.html
They ran the wrong script
I just bought two python books for my computer logic class as a reference . I am studying cyber security and I got gifted that middle book but I don’t have the bash one yet
First youtube started recommending me software enginner videos then game developer but now the algorithm finally got what I want
Thanks to TH-cam algorithm for bringing you here.
Short and simple, right on spot.
Deserved my sub man
Thanks for the sub :)
Very very helpful! But which programming language is better for a cyber security to learn?
mate, you made my day. till now i was thinking programming is must to get into cybersecurity
Appreciate it! :)
I can code but I can't reverse a binary tree and where I can optimize my code 0(n^2) to 0(nlogn)
I am learning cybersecurity and have 0 knowledge of coding but would luv to learn and practice. Can you recommend a few languages other than python that I can look at.
Bravo! Keep up the outstanding work!
I think one can study cyber security as analyst without learning coding right? Some postgraduate courses/programs have not tech in it for example, master of cyber security analysis - has not tech in it like python, sql or r(studio). What do you think?
I’m 35 and I’m about to maybe maybe waste 17k in a cyber security program that last 11 months but I have no clue of computer network or coding or programming these people are telling me I will learn python in the program but I feel I should learn other things first
I’m at the tool operator level but want to learn Python badly. I took a class in college for basics and did like it but then just never had a chance to practice.
You’re definitely making me want to practice it more now!
Great to hear! Level Up!
I like how you are using star wars to explain this video. Great
Thank you!
I am a data science student and your video is very helpful for me. So thanks for the informative content.
Glad it was helpful!
Cyber security without programming knowledge is like Jet lee before he move to america. His muscle aren't so big, but still can fight awesomely. Add some programming knowledge and u will able to become jet lee that we know now days, he is a TANK
Level Up.
Great video! Your following is going to take off with all of this knowledge and great editing skills
Appreciate it! Really just trying to make this stuff as accessible as much as possible.
I’m learning python so I can become a cyber security some day
Wish you well. :)
Question? Which one do you think 🤔 might be more touch to learn or master, cyber security, let’s say security analysts which is one of path in cyber security or a software developer?
I’m trying to see which route I’ll go.
Thanks for your great content!!!
Cyber security can use a more software developers, specifically with respect to tools and infrastructure. The two aren't mutually exclusive! You can do software development, concentrating on cyber security topics.
@@Cyberspatial hello there 👋🏻
Thanks a lot for your info, it is gladly appreciated.
Keep making good content 👍🏼
Very nice video sir
I'm a total beginner wat do you recommend I do please
Thank you so much for making these videos. Your thorough explanation on various topics has been a great help to me. What an inspiring man to the tech world!
Appreciate the kind words :)
I recently graduated with a computer science degree and I know coding but I want to get into cyber security. What skills should I work on and what jobs should I look for to continue to use my development skills?
Congratulations on your degree! Check out some of my other videos on key skills and getting into cyber. If you are looking for work, I recommend you watch some of my short videos with cybersecurity recruiters on my LinkedIn channel. They have a lot of great tips for finding the right job for all levels of experience. www.linkedin.com/in/gorickytan/
as a programmer i find it funny how you went to the guy to implement your solution in python to make your solution faster 😄. my first thought is C or Rust
Ur ideas matched with my experience .
I always thought that hacker is a
pro - programmer .
then i met a guy who i paid for teaching me how to hack , he doesn't know how to code at the time when he taught me , but he teach me web hacking , phishing , creating viruses all using lot of different tools .
Like just creating viruses alone , he use tool to generate it , then use 3 different programs to encrypt and by pass antivirus , bin it with file type that we normally use so that it can fool people. He is an expert of using tools . And now he learn c# and writing his own viruse and sell in online (sadly he doesn't teach me )
Anyway i can only do some SQL injection in specific website , coz i still a black box user ,don't know much about cyber security
It's hard and takes along time. Stay out of jail!
The little Audio bits are way to anyoying, please just keep it to a few distinct noises. There to need to constantly peep when a new word poops up
Thanks for the star wars analogy. It simplified things.
Glad it helped!
