1 Assess Needs

Before diving into learning, you need to assess which programming languages will be most beneficial for your cybersecurity career. Languages like Python are known for their versatility in scripting and automating tasks, while C and C++ offer low-level system access which is crucial for understanding how operating systems work. JavaScript is essential for web application security, and SQL is necessary for database management. Choose languages that align with your career goals and the specific areas of cybersecurity you're interested in.

Identify the languages most in demand in the cybersecurity field, such as Python for scripting, Go for application development, and C for system programming. Reflect on your current skills and career goals to determine which languages will be most beneficial. Consider the specific areas of cybersecurity you are interested in, like ethical hacking, malware analysis, or network security, and choose languages that align with these interests. Prioritize learning based on the relevance to your career path and the potential for professional growth. Setting clear goals and regularly evaluating your progress will help guide your learning journey in cybersecurity programming.

Whatever you need in the job you are doing or planning to do. Rarely do I choose my target language. If I do: 1. A language for Crypto sandboxing - trying things out, running an automated test attack, et.c. I use Java for much of this just because I usually have a current IDE set up on one of my machines. Python is also a common choice. 2. Productive code. I have seen Java, C++ and Rust used a fair amount in this context. Good, robust libraries are available for all of these. 3. Minimal web services - I like Go. 4. Confidential Computing - anything that can keep the trusted footprint minimal - Go again, if supported. Otherwise Java is often to be avoided in enclaves due to bloat.

Definitely a first step would be a deep research to Identify which programming languages are commonly used in cybersecurity roles. Also, with this I will be be exploring and Undestanding below, 1. Technologies and basics of the Networking and Network components. 2. Cyber Security components and their uses ie SIEM, EDR, Cyber attacs. 3. Data Center and Cloud 4. Learning some open source in the cyber space. 5. whats new comming... Will give a better understanding on what can be learn quick to start with.

Pesquisar as linguagens mais utilizadas e necessárias em um determinado período de tempo e em seguida, determinar qual campo ou área você tem mais interesse em estudar é o melhor jeito de avaliar as suas necessidades de aprendizado, pois ao fazer isso, você também pode comparar quais habilidades se assemelham mais às que você já tem, dando prioridade ao aprendizado nessas áreas e ent?o você terá como resultado, a oportunidade de obter um crescimento significativo em uma área profissional que o mercado está procurando e que mais gosta.

Let's get into the nitty-gritty. First, make sure you have strong foundation on fundamentals of programming languages, understanding their syntax and usage. Then, explore diverse resources like online courses, books, and coding platforms. Set clear goals to master each language effectively. Practice consistently to reinforce your skills and join online communities to learn and share insights. Lastly, apply your newfound skills in real-world projects to solidify your expertise.

2 Choose Resources

Once you've identified the languages you want to learn, the next step is to choose the right learning resources. There are numerous online platforms offering courses in programming languages, ranging from beginner to advanced levels. Look for resources that provide hands-on coding exercises and projects, as they will help you apply what you've learned in real-world scenarios. Interactive learning tools can also make the process more engaging and effective.

Investigar los lenguajes de programación más utilizados en ciberseguridad, como Python, C/C++, Java, JavaScript, y Ruby, entre otros. Preguntar a profesionales de la ciberseguridad sobre los lenguajes más importantes para la industria y los recursos que recomiendan. Existen numerosos recursos gratuitos y de código abierto disponibles en línea, como tutoriales, documentación oficial y proyectos open source en GitHub. Los libros sobre programación y ciberseguridad son una excelente fuente de información detallada. Unirse a comunidades en línea, como foros de discusión o canales Slack o Discord dedicados a la programación y la ciberseguridad, donde se pueden hacer consultas y compartir conocimientos con otros estudiantes y profesionales.

Primeiro você precisa entender qual linguagem contribuirá de forma mais acertiva ao seu dia-a-dia. Em Red team, linguagens como python, C/C+=, Bash até mesmo Ruby. Em DevSecOps a linguagem Java pode ajudar muito.

3 Set Goals

Setting clear, achievable goals is essential for staying motivated and tracking your progress. Break down your learning into manageable milestones, such as completing a particular module or building a small project. Establishing a timeline for these goals can help ensure that you're moving forward and can also provide a sense of accomplishment as you reach each one. Remember to be realistic with your timelines to avoid burnout.

4 Practice Regularly

Consistent practice is key to becoming proficient in any programming language. Try to code every day, even if it's just for a short period. This will help reinforce your learning and improve your problem-solving skills. You can practice by working on personal projects, contributing to open source projects, or solving challenges on coding platforms. The more you code, the more comfortable you'll become with the syntax and logic of the language.

Once you've learned the basics of a language, put it to work. You'll learn much more by putting it to practical use solving a problem. Automation is a great place to get started. Do it for your own personal work first and then start contributing to work your team does as you gain confidence.

Do you know what language to learn? If not figure out what you want to get out of it. Technically you can do pretty much anything you want with any language. For me it comes down to the following - - Purpose: Are you building something or doing code review - Performance: Does performance matter or it needs to run once a day for 5 mins - Library Ecosystem: A lot of 3rd party libraries are great for building something quickly Based on this my choice - Python: SOC Automation, Detection-as-code - Go: Security infrastructure (CA, Asset Inventory etc.) - Rust or C/C++: Crypto capability, OS security, Firmware security, sandboxing - Whatever language you are trying to code review
