🎯 O

This roadmap is designed for 2026, focusing on the shift from traditional perimeter defense to Zero Trust Architectures, AI-Augmented Security, and Cloud-Nati.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Consistency > Speed. Spend at least 10 hours a week on hands-on labs. Theory is only 20% of the battle.

🏛️ Phase 0 — Foundation (0-3 Months)

Building the bedrock of your career. Do NOT skip these; they are the difference between a "tool user" and an "engineer."

<details>
<summary><b>📚 Core Fundamentals (Click to expand)</b></summary>

1. Networking (The Backbone)

* Concepts: OSI Model, TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, SSL/TLS, Subnetting, Routing.
* Resources:
* 🛠️ Cisco SkillsForAll - Networking Essentials (Free)
* 📚 CompTIA Network+ N10-009 Course (Professor Messer)
* 📖 Cloudflare: What is DNS?

2. Operating Systems (The En)

* Linux: Process management, permissions, SSH, Cron, Bash scripting.
* 🚀 Linux Journey (Best starting point)
* 🎯 O: Bandit (The wargame standard)
* Windows: Acti basics, Registry, PowerShell, Event .
* 📖 Microsoft Learn: Windows Ser

3. Security Basics

* Concepts: CIA Triad, DAD Triad, Risk Management, Encryption (AES/RSA).
* 🛡️ TryHackMe: Pre-Security Path (Free-ish/Freemium)
</details>

🛡️ Phase 1 — Blue Team (Defensive)

Defending the enterprise. This path focuses on detection, response, and go.

| Domain | Focus Area | Essential Resources |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| SOC Operations | SIEM, Log Analysis, EDR | Splunk Training (Free) |
| Incident Response | Triage, Containment, Eradication | SANS Incident Response Handlers |
| Threat Hunting | MITRE ATT&CK, KQL, Sigma | MITRE ATT&CK Framework |
| Mgmt | Scanning, Prioritization (EPSS) | OWASP Management Guide |

> [!TIP]
> Master MITRE ATT&CK. It is the uni language for describing ad behavior in 2026.

⚔️ Phase 2 — Red Team (Offensive)

Thinking like the ad. This path is about identifying weaknesses through ethical hacking.

<details>
<summary><b>🛠️ Offensi Stack (Click to expand)</b></summary>

1. Web Application Security

* The Gold Standard: PortSwigger Academy (Completely Free, high quality).
* Concepts: SQLi, XSS, SSRF, IDOR, API Security (OWASP Top 10 2026).

2. Infrastructure Pentesting

* Acti: Kerberoasting, LLMNR Poisoning, BloodHound.
* Tools: Nmap, Metasploit, Burp Suite, Sliver C2.
* Resources:
* 🎯 HackTheBox Academy
* 🚀 TryHackMe: Offensi Path

3. AI Security (New for 2026)

* Prompt Injection, Insecure Output Handling, Training Data Poisoning.
* Resources: OWASP Top 10 for LLMs
</details>

☁️ Phase 3 — Cloud & De

Where the industry lives now. Security is no longer a "gate," it is a "guardrail."

* Zero Trust Architecture: Ne, always (NIST 800-207).
* Container Security: Docker, Kubernetes (K8s) security, eBPF .
* Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Scanning Terraform/CloudFormation with Checkov or Terrascan.
* Resources:
* ☁️ AWS Skill Builder: Cloud Practitioner/Security
* 🛡️ Microsoft Learn: SC-900 (Security Fundamentals)
* ☸️ Killearn: Kubernetes Security

🧪 Labs & Practice

Theory is nothing without application. Build your "Home Lab" or use these platforms:

* TryHackMe: Best for guided learning.
* HackTheBox: Best for realistic, unguided challenges.
* LetsDefend: Best for Blue Team/SOC simulation.
* PicoCTF: Best for fundamentals and competiti.
