I have recently been messing around with Python, creating some little "security projects." In this video, I talk about the three reasons why you should learn python for cybersecurity, when you should learn, and which resources you should use to learn. Description of each reason below


Why should I learn Python?
Reason #1: It's relatively easy
Reason #2: Modules and Extensive Library Access
Reason #3: Automation & Versatility

When should I learn Python?

Whenever you have the time to learn. Set aside a few hours to learn the python basics and then move on to some "security-focused" projects after touching the basics. Make sure to complete any project before you learn python. Give the fundamentals your full attention.

Where should I learn Python?
For the python basics, I recommend looking up "free python 3 learning resources" and choosing one resource to learn from. Finish this resource until you are complete and then you can move into the cybersecurity projects. For security, I recommend two resources which are linked below.
