CyberRookie Project - Learning Cyber Skills By Building An Home-Lab

The Reason Why I roll out this course

Hi All, This is Trevor Shi, I was the IT support back in 2019, I created the CyberRookie ProjectSelf training project version 1, spent a year training myself to be Security Analyst. 

From my own experience, to be a qualified Cyber Analyst, it should at least match these four requirements:

1. Having the cyber-related certificated

2. Having cyber knowledge

3. Having cyber hands-on skills

4. With IT work Experience

The CyberRookie Course is trying to cover these 4 domains with limited cost to get free cyber-related certificated, gain cyber knowledge, practice cyber hands-on skills, and get a deep understanding of IT systems. 

I believe that How good you are at cybersecurity is based on how deep you understanding the IT system.
