Cyber Security Zero to Hero
The internet is a battlefield. This free comprehensive guide will teach you how to think like a hacker so you can defend yourself like a pro. Read through the modules below to master your digital privacy.
Why "Password123" Destroys Lives
The most common way hackers break into accounts isn't by writing complex code; it's by guessing. Most people use simple words, birthdays, or pet names. Hackers use "Dictionary Attacks"—programs that try every word in the dictionary in seconds.
The Concept of Entropy
Security isn't about "complexity" (adding a generic symbol like '!'); it is about Entropy (randomness). A password like Tr0ub4dor&3 looks hard, but a computer can crack it in 3 days. A password like horse battery staple correct is actually harder to crack (550 years) because it is much longer.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Think of 2FA as a second lock on your door. Even if a hacker steals your key (password), they still can't get in without your fingerprint (phone code).Avoid SMS 2FA if possible (it can be intercepted). Use an Authenticator App (Google/Microsoft Authenticator) or a hardware key (YubiKey).
