General Support for CyberSecurity

Hey everyone, I was wondering I completed the THM Cyber 101 and received my certification. It is 15$ a month and as a person in Iran which one dollar costs about 115,000 Toman, it is really hard to pay the price.

Is there a way I can continue my journey and still learn without paying for tutorials? I feel like I still have a lot more to learn in this field.

iran

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/2/25, 7:39 AM

but yes, you can find plenty of good tutorials on youtube

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/2/25, 7:39 AM

idk if you can watch youtube freely but given that you're on discord presumably you can

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/2/25, 7:39 AM

for you though i would definitely try to look into tutorials on operational security

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/2/25, 7:47 AM

yes

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/2/25, 7:47 AM

and if you're doing red team in iran you definitely need good opsec

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/2/25, 7:48 AM

well- actually no, opsec is necessary whether you're blue or red team

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/2/25, 7:48 AM

opsec is independent of that, but its typically a red team practice

Right, and another thing

when can I know im ready?

! ₳NØN ✦ ͲհҽԱղҟղօաղԱʂӠɾOP•10/2/25, 7:53 AM

like for an actual bug bounty or job interview for a small company

! ₳NØN ✦ ͲհҽԱղҟղօաղԱʂӠɾOP•10/2/25, 7:53 AM

junior position or even part time?

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/2/25, 7:54 AM

i really don't recommend you try to do red teaming full time

! ₳NØN ✦ ͲհҽԱղҟղօաղԱʂӠɾOP•10/2/25, 7:54 AM

Like when do I stop going from finishing course to courser, do I learn everything in courses or Is it like other jobs where 80% of the learning is in the companies?

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/2/25, 7:54 AM

red teaming is not an entry level job, maybe it is in iran but at least in USA where I'm from it is not entry level

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/2/25, 7:55 AM

if you plan on trying to get a job in the USA for some reason you're probably better off going for a security analyst or softare engineering job

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/2/25, 7:55 AM

maybe the job market in iran is similar or very different, i wouldn't know

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/2/25, 7:57 AM

but the main reason i don't recommend you do red teaming full time is because if you want to do it white hat, you really need to have at least some sense of blue teaming. you don't just find the bugs, you need to be able to explain to the company what to do to fix the bugs and patch the holes

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•10/2/25, 7:57 AM

and potentially you need to be able to explain this to a nontechnical person who barely knows how to open email or save a word doc

i have some level of personal experience with this

Correct.
