Hlo cybersecurity researchers! My name is Sidhartha, and this is my very first write-up. I’m incredibly passionate about cybersecurity, a fire that was lit when I was just 8 Class.

My love for cybersecurity began early — back in 8th class, when I used to watch YouTube videos on a keypad Jio mobile. I didn’t have a laptop, and I wasn’t much into academics either. Coming from an agriculture background, I mostly helped my parents with farm work.

During the COVID pandemic in my 9th and 10th class, my parents bought me a smartphone for online classes. But honestly, I used it mostly to play PUBG — and yes, with hacks 😅. That curiosity towards hacking and tech led me to realize: I want to be a cybersecurity expert.

So, I took MPC in Intermediate to eventually get into Engineering.

In my first year of B.Tech, I bought a second-hand laptop for ₹20,000 and started learning on TryHackMe. At first, I understood nothing.
No mentors.
No support.
Only confusion.

Still, I pushed forward — I learned basic programming and hacking concepts. But everywhere I looked, people said “You can’t succeed in cybersecurity without expensive certificates.”
That hit me hard, especially because I couldn’t afford those certifications.

That’s when I discovered Bug Bounty programs — and how they could pay well. A friend told me, “To succeed in bug hunting, you must learn full stack,” and shared a free course.
Sadly, most of that course was a waste of time.

Eventually, I realized that having just basic knowledge of how websites work is enough to start.

So during my 2nd Semister, I focused on web fundamentals and completed a few TryHackMe rooms. In 3rd&4th semester, I built a Phishing Detector Web Extension, earned the Google Cybersecurity Certificate, and achieved 15+ Hall of Fame recognitions — including NASA. 🌟

(I’ll write a detailed blog soon on how I achieved these one by one.)

If you’re just getting started and feel lost like I did, here’s a simple roadmap and some solid resources:
