Welcome to Cypher Log: Day 1 of My Cybersecurity Journey from Scratch


HELLO EVERYONE

IAM PRIYANKA


I want to write this BLOG in my own authentic voice, documenting my real thoughts as I learn.

Let me introduce myself!

             I am currently in my second year studying Cyber Forensic Science. I chose this course because I genuinely love the subject, and I knew I had to put in the effort to succeed.
However, for the past year, I struggled with knowing exactly where to start. I hate wasting time, but procrastination has been a massive hurdle for me, making it hard to maintain a consistent study routine. So, I decided to start this blog to hold myself accountable, document my progress, and encourage myself to actually learn.

Where I Am Starting From

                To be completely honest, I am a beginner. Today is Day 1 of my cybersecurity learning journey, and I am starting completely from scratch.
I will be documenting my path as I learn the fundamentals of:
  • Cybersecurity Basics
  • Python Programming
  • Linux Command Line
  • Networking
Let's Connect!
       If you are also feeling a bit clueless and starting from zero, let's connect through this blog. Think of this space as learning alongside a friend next door. We can figure this out together.
I am incredibly excited to start this journey, and I can't wait to share what I learn, with you!
 

                                            Thank you for reading!

HELLO FRIENDS!! WELCOME TO MY CYPHERLOG Today I studied the fundamentals of cybersecurity - the CIA Triad and AAA Framework. by journaling this in this blog I pushed myself to be stay productive  it's really motivating me!! Let me break down what I learned in simple terms.   At first I have started with CIA Triad and AAA Framework actually this the basic foundation of cybersecurity so we need to understand it well to master it, as you thing its not an complicating topics because I too thought that, its just an simple topic which we can easily connect with our daily life, so let me explain it clearly. THE CIA TRIAD    CIA Triad is nothing but a combined term of three words which is CONFIDENTIALITY, INTEGRITY AND AVAILABILITY and we can call it as an three pillars of cybersecurity so let see how it is more important in cyber. CONFIDENTIALITY  CONFIDENTIALITY is, if you are authorized to the system or data like we can take our mobile or laptop as an example you're ...

Cryptography Basics: Encryption Types & Hashing Explained

 HELLO FRIENDS WELCOME TO MY CYPHER LOG         Today I came up with a topic which I wondered about what it will be from the first year of my studies in cybersecurity, The cryptography.  In this blog we are going to un-wrap this topic and learn more about it. LETS GET INTO THE TOPIC CRYPTOGRAPHY     You may think that it can be difficult to learn but actually there's nothing like that because I too thought like that about this, if you still think it's difficult I will explain it Like you want.    Cryptography is encrypting data from a readable plain text to unreadable cipher text format. Cryptography is like a knife It has both advantages and disadvantages. Its purpose varies based on who uses it, if you want to use it to protect data it can keep it secure, On the other hand if an attacker uses it he can create a massive bad impact like implement the attack the ransomware. THE TWO MAIN TYPES OF CRYPTOGRAPHY     As I have mentio...

Cyber Security Day 4: Understanding Layered Security & Defence in Depth

HELLO FRIENDS!! WELCOME TO MY CYPHER LOG Successfully I have learned continuously for three days without any procrastination and I am just feeling proud of myself,  I hope you guys too learn continuously without any distractions. Ok let's see what I have learned today,    In the last blogs we have seen about security controls in this blog we are going to dive into depth of defence in cyber security and also there is an architecture called zero trust, let's see how it works. Defence in depth    Security controls are just a single safety measure to prevent an attack but defence in depth are not like that as we can understand with the name itself it's controlling structure which will protect the asset from an attack layer by layer. And it has five layers.  If a company hosts a website they won't just rely on a single layer of security like five layers of controls Layer 1 is an external firewall that will automatically block the IP address which looks suspiciou...
