### Are you interested in the world of cybersecurity? Logic, it's 

But how to learn it? This is a question whose answer remains very complicated, because the world of cybersecurity is wide.

If you are looking to raise your awareness, ANSSI offers free training (MOOC) with a certificate of achievement: [MOOC training](https://secnumacademie.gouv.fr)

Good ! Back to our main topic! Here I am going to give you learning platforms subjectively, so it is also your duty to look for others!

## [Try Hack Me](https://tryhackme.com)

![Try Hack Me platform](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/w538sxnngmw1p8insiak.png)

One of my favorites! This platform offers a learning section and a practical section. We have a streak system (answering questions for several days from affiliates) and a ranking system! Also if you do not want to install a VM or the kali OS, Try Hack Me offers you the possibility of using a machine via the site directly! I find it very suitable to start!

## [Root Me](https://www.root-me.org)

Root me offered direct training via areas ranging from [steganography](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography) to [XSS flaws](https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/xss/). It offers job offers, CTFs, news etc!

There is also their [Twitch](https://www.twitch.tv/rootme_org) channel which is very interesting!

## [Hack The Box](https://www.hackthebox.com)

I personally find it very complete, easy to use and with a very clean interface! It offers exercises by theme and platform! A grading and certification system via the [academy](https://academy.hackthebox.com/). Just like Root.me, HTB offers a listing of jobs and companies that are recruiting!

## [Udemy](https://www.udemy.com)

![Udemy platform](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/0dohbee390gd9l3ubi3e.png)

Udemy is a platform that offers both paid and free solutions. They are "teachers" who offer courses on various subjects, including cybersecurity! They usually offer a certificate of achievement and a good portfolio. I tested several that suited me on a theoretical level, but which did not remain frustrating on the practical side. At first glance, the courses seem expensive, but you just have to wait a few days to get promotions!

I recommend this training to learn the basics: [Hacking Ethics: The Complete Course](https://www.udemy.com/course/hacking-ethique-le-cours-complet/) of [Michel Kartner](https://www.udemy.com/course/hacking-ethique-le-cours-complet/#instructor-1) who is the founder of the site: [Le Blog Du Hacker](https://www.leblogduhacker.fr)!

## [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com)

So here we are with Youtube! This is the platform most of us spend hours and hours on! Here I will not talk about training but more about a specific point. Youtube will be very useful for notions or problems but very little for a complete training! You will also find videos to learn the trades, where to start, etc...

Conclusion
Here, the goal is to give you a brief listing of the platforms that I find the most suitable to start learning about cybersecurity! I hope I was able to help you in your search!
