When I started learning networking in cybersecurity, I hated it so much 😭
Subnetting alone used to ruin my mood. IP addresses, routing tables, ports, VLANs… it all looked like pure confusion to me.
I was seriously searching things like: “Can I do cybersecurity without networking?” “Which cybersecurity role doesn’t need networking?” 😅
Instead of learning networking, I was busy looking for ways to escape it.
But later I realized something…
Almost everything in cybersecurity connects back to networking somehow.
SOC alerts. Firewalls. Packet analysis. VPNs. Attack investigations. Even simple troubleshooting.
You really can’t avoid it.
So I stopped trying to run from it and just started learning slowly. One video. One lab. One confusing concept at a time.
And funny enough… the same networking I used to hate is now one of the most interesting parts of cybersecurity for me.
If networking currently makes you feel frustrated or dumb, trust me, you’re not alone.
Most of us suffered through it at first.
Keep learning. One day the things that look impossible right now will suddenly start clicking.
I started learning cybersecurity quietly.
Now I’m finally documenting the journey publicly.

KNICKS’ WIN STREAK BY THE NUMBERS: 11 STATS FOR 11 WINS
The Knicks are the league’s hottest team. They haven’t lost since April 23, and have rattled off 11 straight victories to defeat the Hawks, 76ers and Cavaliers.
As they prepare for their first Finals appearance this century, let’s look at 11 numbers that help quantify just how hot they’ve been:
17.9: During the streak, the Knicks have averaged 17.9 ppg on fast breaks.
23.8: Their +23.8 point differential is the highest in league history during an 11-game span — regular season or postseason.
24.5: New York’s net rating of +24.5 during the streak is more than double the next-best number (OKC at +8.2).
43.7: Led by Landry Shamet’s 69% clip, the Knicks’ bench has shot 43.7% on 3-pointers during their streak.
53.3/41.3: New York has shot 53.3% from the field and 41.3% from deep. No other team in league history has shot 53% and 40%, respectively, over an 11-0 Playoff streak.
72.2: The Knicks have created 72.2 ppg off assists during the streak. That’s the most in the league, powered by 17.4 per game off Brunson dimes, and 15.3 from Karl-Anthony Towns.
72.2 … again: In 4th quarters, Brunson has shot 72.2% (26-36 FG). The league average is 42.9% over the last 11 games.
102: New York’s 102 DefRtg during its streak is No. 1 in the NBA. In the regular season, its DefRtg was 112.3, good for 7th-best.
108: New York has scored 108+ points in every game during the streak, becoming the first team ever to do so over an 11-game span.
368: The lineup of Brunson, Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby and Towns has scored 368 points together during the streak, the most of any five-man lineup in that span.
11: For 11 straight wins, powered by No. 11, Jalen Brunson (26.6 pts, 6.7 ast), who joins Steph Curry (2017) and Kobe Bryant (2001) as the only players to average at least 26/6 for 11 straight wins in a single postseason.
