The Arsenal, The Armorty and The Library
The Arsenal, The Armorty and The Library
These are the basic competencies expected (and tested for during the 1st in person
interview) by a large, very visible InfoSec company I think it is a good base
competency list for anyone looking to get into an Infosec career (with
specialization plus and some programming /scripting ability) or learn
cybersecurity/hacking as a hobby:
Active vs Passive data transfer o SSH / SSH handshake o Telnet /Telnet Handshake o
SMTP / SMTP handshake (Mail from/ rcpt to) / How attachments are handled Network
How to read packet headers - Know common packet header information for IP, TCP, UDP
+
Understand which device operates at which OSI layer: Hub - Switch o Managed vs
Unmanaged - Firewall - IDS/IPS
