3ys of cyber security at univetsity, no practical labs except advanced cryptography, 3 months internship in a SOC with no guidance, inability to do a Thesis because interesting projects are "too practical, just engineering problem, no real research advancment", inability to land a job in the fields for missing practical experience and back to my developer job (which luckily I love)...

@@user-od4gs3iu4t I am not saying university is useless. I learned a lot of interesting theory, which was definitely needed. But god, I was unlucky, I hope, that there was no practical part except the internship which was useless and a blind shot as the only practical part in the curriculum. The mindset was just for research and if a University is so shortsighted that most students would like to then land a job, rather than pursuing a PhD (and positions are few), well, in my opinion you failed as an educational institution.

@@HeisenbergTrazyn hi, hope you see this message. They are three different path wich of course can and will intercept each other. Cyber security can be a lot scientific if it is about crypto and protocols, but also a lot nonscientific when it comes to analysis and risk management. MI will always be very useful nowadays. Never went in that direction myself, I am missing the math and statistical basis to do it (bad teachers at uni). Software engineering is about code and sw architecture. Personally I think CS is nearer to SW engineering, but will give you a basis to then proceed with the other anyways. There are however universities that offer a cyber security or MI learning course path right from the BSc. Nevertheless, uni will give the theoretical basis. For the practical skills look what kind of lab they have or you have to work them yourself though work or personal projects out of passion

That's not really the case anymore. Malware is much more often distributed using social engineering because links being blacklisted takes very little time. Even the link he provided as an example is already dead. The point of this video was to educate people on how you can prevent giving your information away by doubting if something is secure. So even if you fail the first part and download something from an email or a webpage (and trust me, you will eventually fail this part), you can still stop getting infected by using the tools shown in the video.

This channel is an incredible resource for all levels of understanding, I always learn something new with your content and it’s very short and digestible. Thank you for all you do!

I am in my 2/3 yearish and still haven’t done actual SOC or check sny advance or beginner testing for malware. But this makes me wanna start somewhere and be ahead of the game once I graduate

Thank you for this video! This is very helpful!

Thanks, great video! I didn't know this type of tools existed. I thought that in order to test a file, the best option was running it on a VM. I will make sure to run hybrid-analysis as the first time saver.

4:40 I used Malwarebytes way back in the day.... like maybe 2008 or so then antivir. Both honestly are a good choice.

So much useful info condensed into a short video.

Thanks for the video. A good procedure as well is to check the hash value of the file to see if it matches known malware signatures.

Leo, love your videos; even thought I am not a newbie and did learn something I kinda felt the video was a bit rushed and wished that you spent a little bit more time on each "basic skill" and listed the websites used in the video in the description. Thank you again for your work.

Thanks for the, once again, great video. Quick question: is there a reason for not including URLs of programs or websites in the description, ones that were presented or discussed in video(s)?

Thank you for the Information

An interesting ,Well explained and helpful video. Thank You Leo. After Windows 7, I, as a non business user, have used Linux which is enough for my requirements. I have been aware for some time that Linux has its own set of security threats and I am starting to learn more about this. Thanks again.

that was helpful. would be good to watch an advance skill course

This was good. As a SOC analyst 1 im impressed about the tools you mentioned. Most people are clueless and I was expecting something like firewall rules for windows. Wazuh is a great free soho siem by the way.

Bro fuck yeah you nailed this. How haven't I run into these tools in all my time on the internet. . . Every pc gamer in the world could benefit from learning to use something like sysinternal! Let alone how vital scam success could be reduced if we taught people to check if websites are legit in multiple stages. Loved how direct and clear this was, please keep doing what you're doing!

btw windows sandbox is it good for testing potentially bad stuff? like if i run something to test and it happends to be ransomware will it spred to main system i know sandbox is ment to be isolated but knowing it shares network and who knows what, been wondering would it be safe? i like it more then vm's because i just ran it like any other app its fast up and can check/do stuff quick

@user-od4gs3iu4t

some ransomware may detect they run in isolated environment, sometimes called sandbox evading malware. So they may PRETEND they are safe to run, but instead just lay down. Alternatively if they have an access to network they may steal some data and send it over network, and pretend like nothing bad happened. Many different bad scenarios, so if nothing bad happened during sandbox session, it doesn't mean the software is completely safe

Please do a part -2 video

Appropriate advice if you want to gate yourself into a technical SOC Analyst job which is the role that everyone thinks is super sexy. Its actually just the whipping boy for the SOC manager and will be 95% of the time just looking at a phishing email and wondering why people are so dumb. If you want to go far in the industry then learn about business and how to translate technical analysis like this into business language, learn about the CIA triad and learn about how to secure systems against attacks.

i gotta ask though, is mbam really enough to remove malware that is already in someone's pc? i remember having a client complaining about his laptop running slow or that his fans are active even though idle so i installed malwarebytes and another av, ran them and updated drivers, etc(the basics) and found nothing, i decided to install spyhunter and it detected miners (best guess is that its from the cracked games) and removed it which fixed the issues

@MasterBamarah

Ай бұрын

You have to pay for it!

The thing with the current state of win10, and, of course, win 11 is the fact that even the system alone is "network active"(don't know how to phrase it better). I have been running PipeWire just to spot new activity, hoping to catch if something crappy has been triggered. Well... For the time being, the only wtf activity I've been getting is stuff like Windows, connecting to some GameService junk. Have I scanned my system with numerous av software? - Yes. Have I found something besides "boohoo, it's a torrent client"? - no. Do I know why the hell ms stuff like that is running? - No. And I'm pretty sure the Internet will tell me it's ok. Do I see Windows as my number one head ache? - Yup, I do. I didn't trigger it, nor I actually know what is, and most likely I don't use it. And yes, I am well aware of Linux. But, sadly, win and mac have a strong hold on the software when it comes to manufacturers to develop software.

But what I don’t think was mentioned that really should have been is: please, for the love of whatever deity you hold holy, DO NOT run software you suspect to be malware just to see what processes it starts. That’s very, very bad advice outside of perhaps in a VM (and even then…only if you know what you’re doing).

you normally shouldn't do anything about system processes. However if you find your system works strange, you might want to scan with AV. You can also check manually every application installed and running with task manager (windows or from sysinternals software). You can CAREFULLY look through all drivers and services and suspend/disable/uninstall those that you REALLY don't need. It might be time consuming, so if your system is OK, then best way is just use it
