🎓 For anyone looking to get into cybersecurity — especially my DePaul University students — here’s something important to remember: 💻 You don’t need expensive bootcamps or fancy certifications to begin your learning. You can build a solid foundation using free tools that professionals actually use every day. And for my students, enhance your education with these tools:

🧰 Kali Linux
🧪 Burp Suite Community
🔍 Wireshark
📡 Nmap
💥 Metasploit Framework
🛡️ OWASP ZAP
🧠 TryHackMe & Hack The Box (limited free use)
🌐 Shodan (basic plan)
🔎 Google Dorking
🧩 Autopsy & Volatility

All you really need is your laptop and an internet connection. Start learning. Break things. Fix them. Repeat. Your future self will thank you.
