Two-step guide to learn cybersecurity from @node.io

The creator answers a question about how to get into cybersecurity by outlining a two-step process. First, he advises learning to code systems languages to understand the engineering side. Second, he recommends learning how to break code by participating in 'Capture the Flag' challenges, then shows the website pwnable.kr as a specific resource for legally practicing and learning about exploitation to understand how to prevent it.

Transcript excerpt

Really recommend to get into cybersecurity? Yeah. So step one, learn to code systems languages. You can't be a security engineer without knowing the engineering side. No, like, learn how to write code. Cool. Step one. Step two, figure out how to break code worse that's what you're trying to prevent against. You're trying to prevent bad people from breaking code. The way you do that is you go play rank capture the flags. No the big one that I reckon to people is pwnable.kr, the website that you are legally allowed to hack. You're not gonna get in trouble for doing. And these are all challenges that some guy in Korea wrote. They're really, really good. So if you understand, like, basic assembly and basic c, you can take these challenges and, like, learn a thing about exploitation. Right? And then by learning about exploitation, you learn about how to prevent exploitation.
