Best Reddit Subreddits for Cybersecurity and Hacking!

Reddit is a very useful website for discussions about everything.

For cybersecurity and hacking too, it has useful subreddits, in which, you will learn a lot of things you previously had no knowledge of.

So, I have compiled a list of security related subreddits.

1. Active and Most helpful subreddits:




These three are pretty much it. They have very active communities and are very helpful. I, personally use  /r/netsecstudents a lot because I'm still in the process of learning and that subreddit(if you look properly) will tell you how to make a career in every security field.

2. Security Certification Subreddits:

r/CompTIA (for Security+)

r/ccna (for CCNA and CCNA Security, also r/ccnp for CCNP)

r/CEH (for CEH)

r/cissp (Certified Information Systems Security Professional)

r/oscp (Offensive Security Certified Professional)

Really helpful if you're doing any of these Certs.

3. Other active subreddits:

/r/hacking

/r/blackhat

/r/howtohack

/r/security

/r/Information_Security
 
/r/cybersecurity

/r/pwned

/r/Defcon

These subreddits are just, meh. Yes, you can find a lot of information and learn a lot of things if you look properly. But, they have a lot of unwanted stuff that is useless and boring to you. These are really popular with normal users. It is still useful sometimes, so subscribing to these is your opinion.


4. Topic specific and less active subreddits:


Please check what interests you in this.

I got a Job as a Security Engineer!

Long time since I wrote a blog post, but things happened. I graduated from University with a degree in Information Science. I interned in 3 different companies since getting certified in CEH and CCNA. I also did huge projects in the final year of college. I had around 200 applications over 2 months and 7 interviews. After being rejected and ghosted numerous times I got a few interviews. 5 of which didn't go so well. Either I wasn't qualified or they didn't think I had enough experience. Fortunately,  the last 2 interviews went extremely well and I got a job offer from BOTH companies! Company 1 is a big Networking company where I where the job was being a part of the Incident Response team and Company 2 is mid-size education software provider. Company 2 had 1 other security person, and I would be person 2, which would have been a great opportunity to learn and grow with. I took a few days and talked to a bunch of people in my family and even posted on Reddit to get advice on...
