Hey I'm new to hacking kinda 😅 but anyways. I'm going to school for IT- Cybersecurity Ethical Hacking Certificate. I want to start out with a beginner friendly job. once I get out of school so the cyber security analyst would be good fit for me too. Since I want to study IT-CyberSecurity Ethical Hacking?
Been watching your videos as time permits. Wondering if you came across TCM. Glad that you reco it here. Truly agree to what you said. Spending time learning. More power to you. Many thanks to your content
Hey Wency,
Glad the content is helping you!
yes TCM is solid.
What’s next for you?
Such great video, solid advice! Thank you!!
thanks Cara, glad you found it useful :)
Really appreciate your videos.
Keep up the GREAT Work.
Thank you VERY Much

Thank you so much!! Someone showed me this website a long time ago and I'm so happy to come across it again!
no worries at all
❤You helped me make up my mind to transition to Cybersecurity even with no tech background. Just listening to you makes me believe I can do this. Thank you so much!
you got this 🤝
Sir I just want to THANK YOU for all your guidance.
you’re very welcome Ali :)
@@UnixGuy I am currently exploring all the options you have suggested in the video. I’m looking forward to learn more from you sir.
Thanks
@@AliBaba-st9zi that’s exiciting! keep me posted with your progress and join our discord :)

Funny enough I did read your project while I was studying for my MSc in Cyber Security.
Great project
which project?
Thanks for the video, you gave me a good reference to the things i need to study on.
So about the TCM course, do I need to understand basic computer troubleshooting or networking before taking the course?
to a point! you can quickly reference those after u start the TCM course:
th-cam.com/video/rIOvsj7jBuQ/w-d-xo.html
I really appreciate your recommendations especially your advices regarding the different paths for blue team and red team. I am about to graduate and get my Bachelor’s in Computer Science. I am also currently working on the Google Cybersecurity certificate. I like this certificate a lot since it is very beginner friendly as you said. My question is which should I take first the Practical Ethical Hacker or the Blue team level 1? I want to be an ethical hacker/pentester, but I am also not sure if it is for me. Also, another question, would it be faster to get my foot on the door of cybersecurity through blue team like cybersecurity analyst or SOC analyst? I really appreciate what you do and your videos. I have watched most of your content. I’m just thankful for being a mentor to us. I hope that you would be able to answer as I want to take the next step.
hey mate, if you want to be an ethical hacker there is no point doing blue team cert. Yes, it might be slightly easier to land a security analyst role than a pentesting role because there is more of those around :)
@@UnixGuy do you think it’s ideal to be a cybersecurity analyst first while I’m working on my pentesting certifications or should I just dedicate my time on taking these courses? Thank you for your reply!
I love your videos. I've been watching for about a year, and it has really helped sort out a solid path towards cyber and pen testing.
I'm going through INE's eJPT course right now. I'm currently a network engineer(DNS and IPAM), and have only been in IT for 2 years. (Network engineer isn't the right title for this job, but I'll take it)
The biggest problem I have is impatience. I want to learn everything now. The second is choosing the "best" program to follow. There are so many great programs, but I can't escape the FOMO of other potentially better programs. Such as Cyber Mentor, John Hammond, David Bombal, as well as other cybrary and udemy creators.
Something I've realized is that as long as you start somewhere, anywhere, you're farther along than you were yesterday. That's something to be proud of.
Thanks for your content. I do consider you a mentor. Excited for what you post next.
Hey Brian, thanks for your kind words. I am as impatient as they come, it’s not necessarily a bad thing! Use your impatience as fuel to learn faster.
It honestly doesn’t matter what you pick, as long as you stick with it and put 200% efforts in it. Finish your eJPT then do eCPPT then OSCP for example and you’ll be solid!
@@UnixGuy That is solid advice for anyone. 👍
@@BobBob-qm2bm 🙏🏻
What was your progression li
@@LillyLeigh-mu2fy I'm almost done with my masters degree now. Studying for CISM, hopefully taking that soon. (See WGU Masters of Cyber Security and Information Assurance)
Thank you!
no worries at all Bob, so glad you enjoy the videos
Currently 50% through the PEH from TCM security and man,i knew knothing...yesterday i hacked my second box just learning the course from them...
they’re amazing hey! keep me posted with your awesome progress 🫡
@UnixGuy | Cyber Security Career Thank you,still a work in progress,but going to get there!!Thank you for the amazing content👍🏼👍🏼
@@phillydee3592update?
Did you complete the course? I am at 40% right now.
@CricketVarun Yes completed the course,but going through AD part of the course again to do the PJPT exam,good luck with the studies👍🏼
Hi Unixguy, I found your channel through recommendations, and your videos have inspired me and helped tremendously. I want to get into cybersecurity, I am not sure yet exactly in which area, but Pen-testing does interest me. I currently have 9 months experience at an MSP. I will have a bachelors in CIS w/ specialization in cybersecurity soon and I have Comptia A+, Net +, and Sec +. I plan to focus more on doing hands on labs. I am thinking that I should start off on blue team and have the option to switch to red team. Will that be enough experience to get an SOC/ Cyber Analyst role?
The answer is detailed in this video:
th-cam.com/video/cqJ2nAHKpog/w-d-xo.html
Hey UnixGuy, I have a few questions and wondering where I should start. I have no background in IT, I did build my own desktop over 5 years ago and seen a few cybersecurity on TH-cam. I was wondering if I should start with the eJPT cert? If so, what other information should I learn/know before I take a deep dive into it? Or would the INE class teach me everything, including the basics?
it depends on what the ‘basics’ mean. it will certainly take you from the ground up. There will definiteky be things there that will be difficult for you but so what? it’s part of the process! each time you come across something you have no background, do research and you will find the answer. I’d say go for it and give it your 100% and see what happens
As someone who's 36, this sounds like an awesome career path and exciting as I've always loved networking and computers since I was 10 years old. But let's me honest am I too old at this point to really have a chance and not just be laughed out before ever getting in? Honest question recently went through some life changes diagnosed with PTSD and a new career path is a must.
Hey mate, you’re 100% not too old at all, in fact maturity and life experience are an asset. However, you’ll need to put in real effort to get your foot in the door, which means head down and studying for the next 18-24 months depending on how fast you learn etc.
Watch this video for a step by step plan:
th-cam.com/video/CePhURvdyqk/w-d-xo.html
and then watch this video for a perspective on how we get a cyber security job in general:
th-cam.com/video/GPmVphOqSGY/w-d-xo.html
@@UnixGuy as someone who career wise was hugely based on mentorships etc I truly appreciate your valued response. People don't understand how much value mentorships truly hold.
@@jexodustalks thanks mate, you’re absolutely right, had to learn this the hard way
I want to really really thank you for all things you talk about I have been 3 months searching for my self what’s the best and from where to start and what to do. I wish good health and life for you brother. I really grateful. I want to ask you. I want to go to institute for cyber security to teach me the basics. Do you suggest that?
Hey Rasher, I’m not familiar with that institute, but if you want to learn the basics, I have a much cheaper and quicker way for you here:
th-cam.com/video/ug_ruisDUXc/w-d-xo.html
Your videos are great! I got a CIS degree I know some universities call it MIS. I heard it’s a good degree if you get some certs to break into cybersecurity. I’m not sure where to start. I want to a penetration tester. Juggling between going to WGU to get some base knowledge or get ejpt then oscp and then break into the industry.
if you already have a degree I recommend you dive deep into certs. Get your eJPT and follow the rest of the certs that I recommend, that’ll take you a good 18+ months of HARD work.
Watch this video to understand the whole certs vs degree argument: th-cam.com/video/GPmVphOqSGY/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the advice!
@@NeoCyberWatch you’re welcome :)
First I'd like to to thank you for your videos. I've been thinking about getting the ejpt and ewpt certification. Do you think it would be worth it to go for those two? Or should I go for CompTIA's PenTest+?
eJPT and eWPT are so mucn better because they’re hands-on. Do them them and skip pentest+, I’m not a fan of multiple choice exams for pentesting / they don’t make sense
@@UnixGuy Okay, thanks so much
@@Greatman678 no worries at all!
Hey brother greetings for the day, a great video as always no doubt in that. I want to ask is that I am confused in what should I pursue should I go with Penetration Testing or Cloud Security, like I have interest in both and really confused, when I think about one I have a FOMO of other. Now I want to prepare for cert but I am confused like for which to prepare, eJPT or AWS from cloud guru. Thanks.
Edit: Also, which has great future?
thanks mate. They both have a great future so choose the one that you love more, because when you love something you’re more likely to invest more time learning it and getting good at it which will lead to a better future :)
Pretty awesome that the AI Bard recommended this video. That's how I know this guy is great!
oh what did Bard say? 😅
@@UnixGuy I asked about the penetration tester career path and a link to this video was linked as an additional resource!
this is the updated version that I recommend by the way:
th-cam.com/video/8K7iAJ9BNl0/w-d-xo.html
Have you heard of Georgia Weidman? She has a course on Cybrary which looks really good too.
The name rings a bell, is it a CISSP course?
Thx
🙏🏻
Hi unixguy, thanks for the useful videos you upload, im currently doing a cybersecurity degree, does my grades matter when it comes to getting a job ?
Hi Aref, to be completely honest they don’t matter for getting, I explain in this video what it takes to get a job:
th-cam.com/video/GPmVphOqSGY/w-d-xo.html
Your grades can matter if you want to do a masters degree later. I would question why your grades are low and just focus on improving them as much as you can. But don’t worry, no one cares about grades in the business world :)
@@UnixGuy they’re not low, just average but i wonder how i can stand out from other graduates to get hired faster, can’t find much entry/graduate level jobs either. Thanks for the answer!
@@aref568 average is fine, nothing to worry about it. Watch the video i recommend in the previous comment and you’ll know how to stand out :)
Hi UnixGuy. Do you recommend any of the certifications from the EC Council?
hey No I don’t recommmend any of their courses/certs.
I’m getting my comptia security + December 13th. With the TPM website should I just filter out what I think I already know and also is scripting a must know for a pen tester
awesome good luck!
Thanks
🙏🏻
What’s very crazy is that I feel like I could relate to you. I’m 17, look up to Kevin mitnick, and I’m trying hard to find anything cybersecurity related to become a good future hacker.
wow that’s incredible! looks like you have good inspiration and a plan 👏🏻
@@UnixGuy haha to be honest your videos are definitely helping I’m just a bit nervous about the whole “experience” portion of a job application since I heard you need like 15 years for an entry level job-
@@mr.paranormal776 nah deifinitrly not 15 yrs, do the certs and gain skills and you’ll be fine
Would you recommend a masters degree Unix? 🫡
Question, can you do a video on comparing the pnpt and ejpt certifications?
I mentioned both in this video:
th-cam.com/video/8K7iAJ9BNl0/w-d-xo.html
they’re both fine
Nice as usual. Please, are these beginner courses important roadmap to becoming a soc analyst?
yes I explained it all in this video:
th-cam.com/video/HohIYcNd_VM/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for this advices , i just wondering if i complete this laps and courses and i have certified ejptv2 how can i get a job or internship in pentesting
a lot more goes into getting a job that just certs, they will help but other things like CV, experience, how you interview, location etc, come into play
I have no cybersecurity knowledge or certifications currently, but i do come from a software engineering background with 3+ years of professional experience. Would you still suggest that I nosedive directly into the PEH course by TCM, or should i start off with something like Google's Cybersecurity certification, and build upwards from there?
it depends! if you want to be a penetration tester then I have this updated roadmap:
th-cam.com/video/8K7iAJ9BNl0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=SG6p2l0xm2UmJbDP
However, with software engineering background you can pivot to something like Application security or automation:
th-cam.com/video/shgKU-zjOmw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=HxMvLjMitArE2j_4
I no college degree and no it experience, I do know a bit of html and css and how to set up a basic website.
I want to go into penetration testing. Where does someone like me with zero background or skills start learning from the very bottom, and how long can I expect to be learning before I'm job ready?
Follow the plan in this video and this one: th-cam.com/video/CePhURvdyqk/w-d-xo.html
basically start with eJPT and work your way up. I don’t know how long it’ll take you, it depends on how fast you learn and now committed you are
Wow nice video ❤️❤️😀😀
thanks
hello, do you have any suggestion on projects to do at home for Penetration Tester ? to put in resume/ github?
try hack me and hack the box that I talked about here ( Beginner cyber security projects you NEED to get hired
th-cam.com/video/LFlsDm8w36A/w-d-xo.html ) have many projects for pentesting
@Unixguy I am a Project Manager in IT and really want to explore the field of Pentesting, with 12 years of work experience can I still start from the scratch and will I be able to get a breakthrough in this competition? Also, if I have to start I can choose any path mentioned in this video or I can also go through HTB Pen testing?

This is the pathway that you need to follow:
th-cam.com/video/8K7iAJ9BNl0/w-d-xo.html
Hey UnixGuy, do you have an opinion on the Zero Point Security certs like CRTO and CRTP? For example, do you think it would be better to take them before, or after the OSCP? Thank you.
hey mate, never heard of them! I think doing the ones I recommended in this video are much better and if u want a beginner start the eJPT is good
Holder of both certs here, there's no strict order, but I'd say OSCP first then CRTO.
OSCP is a beginner cert for pentesting which teaches you the fundamental skills for hacking. While CRTO is Red Team oriented (more focused in Red Teaming skills with an emphasis on Cobalt Strike usage, and yes, there's a big difference between pentesting and red teaming), creator of CRTO would assume you have the basic skills when it comes to hacking (especially Windows Active Directory)
@@neloangelo__13 is web hacking pentesting closer to red teaming than external pentesting?
@@FaLkraydz no not close at all, web app hacking, external pentesting and red teaming are completely different. While some red team engagements may include webapp exploitation, they're not close whatsoever.
Most of the time, for a web app pentest, you are given x days of billable work to pentest a web app, with the goal of identify as many vulnerabilities as you can, along with PoC.
A red team engagement does not test the vulnerabilities but assesses the security posture of the whole company/organisation with a pre-defined goal, including external security, internal security, security products (AV/EDRs, DLP), and security processes (managed SOC).
@@neloangelo__13 Great explanation! Thank you.
So in order to become an ethical hacker, you’d need to study for 18 months, are the courses online only ?? How fast passed is the courses ?? For my job I can’t always join during live zoom classes.
this is an older video, follow this up to date one:
th-cam.com/video/8K7iAJ9BNl0/w-d-xo.html
yes all online, click on the links in the description box under the video and read the training description
I've seen cyber security jobs that immediately pays you while still learning at an entry level. Any truth to this?
They exist but they are very rare and definitely are the exception not the norm
@@UnixGuy thanks
Hi, I currently work at an MSP and have been there for over 5 years now who are wanting to start deploying more cyber security focussed structure to our clients.
I have been tasked with creating our security stack and selling to clients/managing our cyber team within our business.
What do you suggest I do to move into this role better? I feel I have a good broad knowledge of IT systems but regarding security I am still quite new.
Are there any certs I should specifically do to increase my own knowledge to fill this role? Should I learn pen testing in order to learn how to defend against it etc? Just looking for some guidance on how to take on this role and use this opportunity to get into this more and earn myself more money for the future. Thanks
that’s a tough one. it seems that your role is more sales focused? or are you going to be implementing those solutions?
Either way, a generic solution is to do comptia security+ followed by CySA+. If you’re going to be selling managed security operations centre, this video might help: th-cam.com/video/HohIYcNd_VM/w-d-xo.html
@@UnixGuy thanks very much for the reply!
I am tasked with both essentially, to make the sale and then to follow up with the implementation and also the monitoring/ongoing work of managing the tools also (I have a team I can delegate work to so it isn't all just for me to manage).
I'll definitely have a watch of that and a look at those certifications also!
I believe the plan would be for me to be managing a SOC for our clients (or atleast co-soc with a third party) to keep on top for our clients.
If my main role once deployed is to prevent/remediate attacks using the new security stack I deploy, is a SOC analyst the type of training I want to be learning so I can be better at monitoring?
Thanks very much for your time
@@s0beit_aus yep then getting knowledge of SOCS is what you need. You may need to hire someone who is a SOC expert to help as well
@@UnixGuy just watched the video you linked, do you believe a SIEM is a must for me to manage logs and detect attacks for my customers? Just so I know if I need to have the cost of running and managing a SIEM in my sale cost and to learn to use it to do the job
@@UnixGuy ok thanks, I'll start trying to learn a SOC role more and looking at those certs as you mentioned so I can better fullfill that role. Thanks heaps for the help
What is The Sacramento Academy? It is showing in the video chapters titles...
its probably the cyber mentor academy, but my accent confused youtube 😂
@@UnixGuy hahaha... :D
Why no one talk about CPENT i am trying to find reviews and i could not find any.
I need your suggestion should i go for CPENT or OSCP? If i take CPENT i can do some other courses i am getting the certificate at very cheap price but OSCP i can not do the same.
this is a more up to date roadmap:
th-cam.com/video/8K7iAJ9BNl0/w-d-xo.html
reason why nobody talks about a certain cert, maybe because it’s no good? 😉
Plz guide i am electrical engineer having 20 years fiber optic system experience but no experience at network side.i want to shift my carrier plz suggest what should i do either comptia security plus or AWS cloud practesioner.which will be easy for me and get job easily
First thing is watch this video and understand it very well:
th-cam.com/video/GPmVphOqSGY/w-d-xo.html
You should do both, start with comptia security+ pass it then move on to AWS. These are all entry level certifications that will form as your baseline to build on more knoweldge and experience
Hey,
Can you recommend some books on cyber security and job interview suggestions for beginners ?
watch this:
th-cam.com/video/uaK7pM3aRj8/w-d-xo.html
thank you sir . i have no money to buy course ,can i get job proper learning become a ethical hacker,penetration tester??,i mean without certificate but have experience penetration tester???
yes experience is the most important thing, if you have the skill and can demonstrate that you have it, this will help a lot. if you can save money and spend on ONE cert, do OSCP
I'm just curious, but do you think that a person needs to go to college to become a penetration tester or do you think we could possibly just learn it on our own or use the programs you showed us in the video to learn about it without going to college? Also, do you think a company would hire a person without a degree for a penetration tester opening or no?
I answered this question here:
th-cam.com/video/csXVHpDNM4M/w-d-xo.html
Okay, thank you so much!
I'm sorry, but another random thought popped in my head, but which cyber security job do you think takes the least amount of time to get and which one has the best work-life balance?
@@ZachAttack8292 GRC has the best work life balance and requires the least skill: th-cam.com/video/C6IgksBpMF4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=yuTDNewidBiabkHn

How long if someone with slightly above average intelligence spends 80 hour a week? learning linux, coding, networking, hacking techniques..?
No one can answer that, the more work you put in the faster things will make sense. This is a long term pursuit so think it’s a marathon not a sprint. Give yourself 8 to 20 months and see what happens

Will Artificial Intelligence Replace the Cyber Security Experts????
if you took the time to watch my videos you woulda found the answer here:
th-cam.com/users/shortsYdEvzJDR0E4?feature=share
How will A.I replace Cyber Security experts, when Cyber Security is heavily dependent on securing of Networks.
A.I will replace physical jobs like waiters, drivers, cleaners - rather than replace jobs related to networking and engineering...
A.I will still need people to maintain it like a machine and that includes securing its network.
Plus, none of us will live to see A.I transform into this massive power anyways
Is penetration testing in demanding skill
yes

Can I became a penetration tester without any coding knowledge
you can’t become a good pentester without programming knowledge. Big part of Pentesting is exploiting vulnerabilities in software, so you need to understand how code is written. You don’t need advanced programming skills but you need basic skills
@@UnixGuyis python enough?
Are you taking mentee apps lol?
hey mate, I take on a very small number of mentorship calls for those who want a more one on one specific advice that they couldn’t find in the videos: Cyber Security career mentorship
th-cam.com/users/shortsTT-6txhJbjc?feature=share
Why do you say something but then contradict your claim? Calling out other youtubers that they are lying about getting a job without a degree.
when did I ever called out people as liars? don’t put words in my mouth. Watch the video properly, I clearly said in anither video that some companies won’t hire you without a degree and that’s a fact. Some will.
For Pentesting, it’s a very specific skill that many people are willing to overlook ‘degree’ if you have thr right skill/training.
The world is not black or white, the truth is a lot more nuanced.
Hello there! You explain really well. Could you please suggest some training or courses for compliance.
@@gardenfairyvlogs Best ones are ISACA and/or ISC2. Also, I think you’ll benefit from doing cloud certifications such as ‘Microsot azure fundamentals’ and AWS Cloud Practioner, they will improve your confidence when you know bit more rechnical stuff

Hi UbixGuy,
I've been a system administrator (MCSA - Microsoft's) for two years now, and I'm very interested in CyberSecurity in the field - PenTest, do you recommend starting with Comptia+Security and then eJPT?
Or skip Comptia+sec and continue towards eJPT.
I will take the best recommendation from you.
Thanks!
I would skip the sec+ and go straight to eJPT then PNTP
@@UnixGuy
Don't you think it looks better on my CV? Should I have comptia+sec before I start a specific internship?
Isn't that a little funny? Certified MCSA then eJPT? I mean you need knowledge in the security world before.

May prepare me for the eJPT exam? Or will I have to look for additional study material to be updated with the official test..
Should I do CCNA or Linux+?
Neither! do the courses recommended in the video
There's a book which I find to be a very useful guide for anyone who want to get in this field, it's called "The Pentester Blueprint" by Philip Wylie.
thanks, I’ll check it out!
