I created this repo after seeing coding-interview-security, which echoes my journey to getting into the full-time security role.
I created this study plan to help people looking for guidance and help to plan and prepare for a job-specific skill set. If you study 3-4 hours per day for the next 6 months, you can get high-paying jobs, provided you do lots of hands-on work, go through each necessary topic/concept more than thrice, and come from a tech background. This worked in my case.
Tip
Please note that some topics would be common for any listed security roles. Check common-skills-study-plan
Note
I will add study references from the beginners' perspective and cover advanced-level topics. All the best for your security journey!
This is to give a study plan to prepare for a specific role. It is of course multiple months of hard work and dedication which need a proper roadmap. Hence, this repo would be a point source for all your study plans.
