Hi, I’m Rami (BSc Computer Science — Security & Forensics; MSc Advanced Security ongoing).
What I’m about to do:
Build a safe VM lab (Kali + vulnerable targets).
Master linux , core networking and packet analysis (Wireshark).
Learn scripting (Python + Bash) and basics of web security (OWASP, Burp).
Practice on TryHackMe / HackTheBox / CTFs and publish write-ups.
Prepare for practical, hands-on pentesting (Metasploit, Nmap, privilege escalation).
Certs I’m aiming for:
Cisco Cybersecurity Essentials (quick baseline)
CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701)
OSCP (longer-term hands-on goal)
Continue CCNA study in parallel
Feedback welcome — especially on cert order and what recruiters actually value given im in the UK.
Thank you!!!
