Cybersecurity is very exciting, right? Hacking into companies, reporting bugs, getting rewards, securing organizations from attacks — aura 999, right? Yeah, it's right. All these things are true. All these things are happening to many people.

But here you are, reading this and thinking, "ooh, this isn't happening to me," and finding some excuses like cybersecurity is hard, it's for experienced people, blah blah blah. You are making an exception that doesn't exist.

So here is the main thing about this article: what you are doing wrong, because of which you are not getting results in your cybersecurity journey. You may be a student, you may be a 10-year professional, or anyone. If you are a human and related to cybersecurity, this article might help you get better at cybersecurity and be what it takes to be the best in security.

Because in this article, I will show you one cybersecurity platform that can really significantly improve your practical cybersecurity skills, and don't worry, I am not talking about TryHackMe or Hack The Box — I have something new for you.

And I know you all are broke, so that platform is completely free. Don't worry, I got you. Just read till the end and you will thank me.

See, I will not create suspense and make a long road of lines to reveal the name of the platform, so here you go — the platform name is "hackosquad.com"

Now listen, before you go directly there, first listen to something. Do some good to me as well. So HackoSquad is a cybersecurity learning platform.

Now you might say, "oh, like TryHackMe?" The answer is yes and no, both. See, HackoSquad is a little bit different platform. It's new — it just launched in beta. They have launched around 20 modules, from red teaming to blue teaming, even purple teaming. They cover mostly beginner as well as intermediate content with labs, fully free.

But what's better in them that i like and writing this article? The best thing is they don't overwhelm you with unnecessary content. In TryHackMe or Hack The Box, they will give you too much theory, too technical, so beginners get overwhelmed there only. But in HackoSquad it's like a story mode type thing.

Like I recently did their Malware Analysis 101 module where it was explained like: "A person downloads GTA 6 before launch, and he gets something suspicious as his CMD was opening automatically." They teach it in a full story mode, like how he finds the malware and deletes it.

So it feels like you are watching a kind of sci-fi movie or novel, and that's the best way of learning. So if you are a beginner, I will say go to hackosquad.com and start the modules.

Right now they have fewer modules as they have just launched in beta. They are consistently uploading new modules. But for now they have around 100–150 hours of content, and quality content, not like AI-written things — real, proper interesting things.

I also saw their post where they said they are coming up with more than 100 modules in the coming months. I hope they put some bug bounty modules also.

I almost forgot to mention they have something called Creator Zone, where anyone can create their own module and publish it for other users. If you want, you can give a try on that as well — but I know you all are trying to study first 😂.

So yeah, I will end it here. If you are a beginner and trying to learn cybersecurity but don't know where to start, go check out hackosquad.com at least once.

It's free anyway, so you are not losing anything. You might actually learn something useful.
