@cat3lyst 😂True, same as with most of the things in life.

@johnumorujo @tryhackme Hi, I am learning SOC L1 path on Tryhackme, if I get the opportunity, it would be a great help. Thank You!

I gained 50 followers on X. Tiny achievement but more to come in the future.

There’s something uniquely powerful about being a Security Researcher.

Just a laptop, a few hours, and the ability to uncover something that can make a billion-dollar company stop everything and listen.

That’s the rush which makes you go deep in this field including money ofcourse.

[Zeeshan Shahrukh @CyberWolffff]

Hi everyone! I’ve started learning pentesting. I use THM to learn the basics, then dive deeper through official docs and make my own notes.

Connecting with the right people can accelerate the learning process.

If you’re a pentester or learning too, let’s connect!

@Teach2Breach Excited for this count me in 🤝

[Zeeshan Shahrukh @CyberWolffff]

@Maskoff023 Great advice. Very impactful habit in the longer run as you said. It helps you to understand the pattern of your success and failure.

@webenstein_ How are you managing the time. It must be a lot of effort you are putting in it. Great work!

@WilliamInCyber Thanks for sharing. I am on SOC L1 path from THM.

[William | SOC and Detection Engineering @WilliamInCyber]

I stopped building new SOC labs.

At first, I thought the more projects I completed, the more prepared I'd be for a Tier 1 SOC role.

Then I realized something.

Tier 1 analysts don't face a brand-new attack every day.

Stop saying 'Sorry for the late reply' in emails.

It doesn't make you polite. It makes you look disorganized.

Here are 6 phrases that skip the apology and get straight to work:

[Zeeshan Shahrukh @CyberWolffff]

@ArtemPolynko I am following SOC Analyst learning path.

[Victor Akinode @VictorAkinode]

No course will get you a cybersecurity job. Labs will. Here are the 10 you need to practice right now.

1. TryHackMe SOC Level 1 Path: the single best starting point for anyone who wants to work in a SOC. Covers log analysis, SIEM tools, threat detection, and incident response in a fully guided, beginner-friendly format. https://t.co/jqYUL166VU

2. HackTheBox Starting Point: step-by-step guided machines that take you from zero to your first real exploitation. Once you finish Starting Point, move to the easy machines and build from there. https://t.co/xpC1bDl0TO

3. PortSwigger Web Security Academy: the best free resource for learning web application security. Every OWASP Top 10 vulnerability covered with real labs you actually hack, not just read about. Free. https://t.co/25VIlgwBL0

4. Blue Team Labs Online: defensive security labs focused on forensics, threat hunting, SIEM analysis, and incident response. Built specifically for people who want to work on the blue team side. https://t.co/FAhx2Tz78f

5. OWASP WebGoat: a deliberately insecure web application you run locally and attack. One of the best ways to understand how web vulnerabilities actually work from the inside. https://t.co/QaYoLz19dJ

6. VulnHub: free downloadable vulnerable virtual machines you spin up in VirtualBox and practice on locally. No internet required, no subscription, just download and hack. https://t.co/P4YkpsowR2

7. PicoCTF: a free beginner CTF platform built by Carnegie Mellon University. Covers web exploitation, forensics, cryptography, reverse engineering, and binary exploitation through hundreds of challenges. https://t.co/s1wJUOeiWJ

8. OverTheWire Bandit: a wargame that teaches Linux fundamentals, SSH, file permissions, and basic exploitation through progressive challenges. If your Linux skills are weak, start here before anything else. https://t.co/YhlcsO0wNm

9. Immersive Labs: used by enterprise security teams globally for hands-on skills development. Has a free tier with labs covering SOC, malware analysis, cloud security, and threat intelligence. https://t.co/4LAjDmwebr

10.Cyberdefenders: blue team focused labs built around real-world attack scenarios with PCAP files, malware samples, and memory forensics. The closest thing to working a real incident without being on the clock. https://t.co/9PMRoFRF8D

The gap between people who get hired and people who keep applying is not certificates. It is lab hours. Put in the reps.

Save this and share it with someone trying to break into cybersecurity.
