For those who are new to the concept: Every day, starting from the 1st of December until the 25th (Christmas), there is a new challenge up ahead. Kind of like the 30 days of tooling.
The Advent of Cyber is mainly focused on Security testing. A great way to start learning some security!
Iâm definitely tempted! Like Eva said, hoping itâs pure beginner friendly because I know absolutely nothing. I might just start and see what itâs like, no need to commit for the full advent I guess. Thanks for sharing!
This one is online and itâs fully âgamifiedâ, so it encourages you. And the exercises are pretty easy to get takeaway learnings from, so far looks good.
I went to check out the website the day before the advent started and did some of their exercises, it was fun! Theyâve got this beginnersâ course (the Pre-security one) which I may or may not finish, all good.
The other thing that happened is that actual infosec people that I know are all teaming up and doing this together with some beginners that they know, and instead of just asking âHey I heard about this and was considering doing it, can I join?â I just completely froze and pretended I hadnât already checked out the website and wasnât interested whatsoever.
No no the thing is, because now itâs real infosec people doing I instantly went like âOK clearly this is not for me thenâ. And so I havenât even tried the advent thing anymore.
Hahahaha yeah I guess I could. I actually did get something out of it, TryHackMe also have a Presecurity learning path for people who have never done any kind of hacking or infosec stuff so Iâm currently working through that one. Itâs interesting!
