🚨 LEARN TO USE GITHUB!

If you are serious about cybersecurity, learn to use GitHub. Version control is essential for:

  • Saving your scripts, notes, and tools
  • Collaborating with others
  • Tracking your progress and learning
  • Sharing your work with the community

Even if you never plan to code, knowing how to use GitHub will make you a better, more organized hacker and learner.

Most tools used for hacking and cybersecurity have their documentation, updates, and source code on GitHub. If you want to stay up to date and learn how things work, GitHub is the place to look.

📝 Note-Taking for Cybersecurity ​

📚 Document Your Journey

Taking good notes is essential for learning, tracking your progress, and writing up solutions or reports.

🌐 Notion (My Choice)

Cloud-based, feature-rich, and accessible anywhere. Perfect for beginners who want powerful organization tools with AI assistance.

✨ Best for beginners

🔒 Obsidian (Community Favorite)

Local storage, Markdown-based, and privacy-focused. Preferred by security professionals who value data control.

🛡️ Maximum privacy

🔒 Privacy & Security First

For the best security, privacy, and compatibility with cybersecurity tools and labs

Both browsers are open-source, privacy-focused, and widely used in the cybersecurity community.

🔑 Password Managers ​

💡 My Recommendation: Proton Pass

I use Proton Pass for managing my passwords and passkeys. It makes it super easy to use credentials across all my devices, and the interface is clean and beginner-friendly.

☁️ Cloud-Based

Convenient and accessible from anywhere. Perfect for most users who want seamless sync across devices.

Unless you're protecting nuclear codes, cloud managers from reputable companies are secure enough.

🔒 Offline Option: KeePassXC

For maximum privacy and control. KeePassXC is open-source and works entirely offline.

You control where your password database is stored.

Remember

All this extra effort is pointless if your passwords are weak and repetitive. Always use strong, unique passwords!

💾 File Storage & Portability ​

💽 My Setup: 2230 SSD

I use a pocket-sized 2230 SSD for carrying important files and hacking tools. Fast, reliable, and keeps your data in your hands—no internet required.

☁️ Cloud vs. Local

Cloud storage (Google Drive, Dropbox) is convenient for everyday files. For sensitive data and maximum privacy, stick to local or encrypted portable drives.
