There are many different fields to cover in the broad range of cybersecurity. To help you get started, we have compiled a list of resources that can help you prepare for the Austria Cyber Security Challenge.
This list is not to be taken as “if you know all of this, you will win” (or even to cover the entire range of categories), but rather as a starting point to get you on the right track. It is also not to be taken as endorsement of any of the resources or organisations behind them. While we have generally picked them due to their quality, we cannot guarantee that they are up to date or that they will be the best fit for you.
If you have some great ressources that you think should be added to this list, please let us know on Discord!
There is also a more comprehensive list at Wargame Nexus, if you are looking for more resources, though do keep in mind it is compiled by third parties.
General#
These platforms cover a wide range of categories and are a great way to get started. They also cover some of the more category specific ressources, though those might be more in depth or beginner friendly.
In general, we can recommend everyone to look into what local CTF teams there are and join them. This is a great way to learn from others and support each other!
