What a Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking intern does

The Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking role, what you build at each level and what you need before you start.

Cybersecurity interns learn how attackers think so they can defend systems: scanning networks, finding web vulnerabilities in safe practice labs, hardening servers and writing clear security reports.

What you build, level by level

Level 1: Foundations: Set up a Kali Linux virtual machine, Learn 20 essential Linux commands, Understand file permissions and more.
Level 2: Building real features: Exploit and fix SQL injection in DVWA, Exploit and fix reflected XSS, Use Burp Suite to intercept requests and more.
Level 3: Professional work and capstone: Full penetration test of a lab application, Build a simple SIEM dashboard, Capture the Flag challenges and more.

Where this work is used

Training Trains, W3AppDevelopers and DomainHostly use these skills in real projects: Security Audits, Web Application Security, Cloud Security. Interns who pass the readiness check can take paid-company work from the Company Work board in the portal.

Before you start

Basic computer networks and Linux commands help; practice is only on your own machines and legal labs.
