Exploring Cybersecurity Tools: From Free DIY Gear to Advanced Tech – The Ultimate Starter Guide!

In this video, I share my top recommended tools for learning cybersecurity through hands-on experience. After over a year and a half of testing and reviewing gear, I’ve put together a list of devices that I believe are some of the most useful for beginners.

This video is designed to help hands-on learners understand the fundamentals. These tools won’t turn you into a professional overnight, but they’re a great way to start building real-world experience in a safe and responsible way.

This is an overview video. I’ll leave links to the full videos I’ve already created on each device so you can dive deeper into setup, use cases, and educational value. The list starts with free and low-cost tools and builds up to more advanced and premium devices.
