Bash & PowerShell: The Two Languages That Leveled Up My Friend Priya’s Cyber Game
I have known Priya for a while now, she’s a solid cybersecurity professional, the kind of person who shows up, handles incidents like a pro, and always makes you feel like things are under control.
But not long ago, she told me something that stuck with me:
“I have been in cyber for years, but I always avoided the command line.”
PowerShell? Bash?
She thought those were only for pentesters or sysadmins.
Until she got thrown into a messy incident and saw someone solve it using just a few PowerShell commands.
No GUI. No fancy tool. Just skill.
That moment changed everything.
Priya went all in.
PowerShell gave her superpowers in Windows environments.
She could pull logs, monitor processes, and automate tedious tasks like a boss.
Bash opened up a whole new world in Linux.
She learned to grep, awk, and cut her way through data like she would been doing it for years.
What I love most is not just what she learned, but how it changed her.
She became more confident, faster, and more independent.
She stopped waiting on tools and started building her own.
Now?
If you throw an alert her way, she doesn’t just triage it.
She investigates it deep, fast, and thoroughly.
That’s the power of knowing the command line.
If you’re in cybersecurity and still avoiding Bash or PowerShell because you think you don’t need them this is your sign.
Take it from Priya.
It’s never too late to level up.

Dineo Could Hack Anything… But She Couldn't Write About It.
When Dineo started her OSCP journey, she was unstoppable.
Give her an IP, and she’d crack it open like a safe.
Privilege escalation? Easy.
Pivoting? Smooth.
Persistence? Child’s play.
But then came the part she never trained for:
📄The Report.
And just like that… Dineo the confident hacker felt completely lost.
She stared at the screen, blinking cursor mocking her.
“Wait… they want me to write everything I did? Step-by-step? With screenshots? And explanations?”
Yep.
Because in cybersecurity, you’re not just a technical expert — you're a storyteller of incidents.
Here’s what Dineo learned the hard way:
If you can't communicate the attack,
If you can't document the defense,
If you can't translate tech into insight...
Then all your brilliant work might as well not exist.
So What Did She Do?
She relearned the game.
She stopped seeing writing as a chore and started treating it like a weapon.
She built a personal playbook for every lab, every engagement, every incident.
She learned to:
✅ Summarize an incident like a journalist
✅ Log timestamps like a detective
✅ Show impact like a consultant
✅ Recommend action like a leader
Cybersecurity isn’t just about breaking in or defending.
It’s about making the invisible visible clearly, confidently, and completely.
So whether you are just getting started or knee-deep in the field:
Write. Everything. Down.
Your future self (and your team) will thank you.
Hack like Dineo.
But learn to write like your career depends on it.
Because it does.

The Franz Kafka Effect For Everyone Who’s Ever Felt Like a Failure!
Franz Kafka died thinking he was a failure.
He spent his whole life writing stories that he never believed were good enough. He asked his closest friend to burn all his work when he died.
But his friend didn’t.
Instead, the world got to read The Trial, The Metamorphosis, and The Castle. Today, Kafka is considered one of the greatest literary minds of the 20th century.
So why am I telling you this?
Because maybe you are in cybersecurity, and you feel like:
You are not good enough to apply for that role
You’re too “behind” to keep up
Everyone else is getting jobs, certifications, or recognition and you are invisible.
You are learning tools and frameworks, but imposter syndrome is eating you alive.
Kafka never saw the impact of his work. But he still did the work.
He still wrote.
He still kept going even through depression, self-doubt, and illness.
Here’s the lesson:
You may never fully see how much your learning, your blog posts, your GitHub projects, your encouragement to others, or your voice in the community is helping someone.
But it is.
Whether you are a SOC analyst, GRC enthusiast, blue/red/purple teamer, or a cybersecurity beginner don’t stop.
Your work matters, even when it feels like it doesn’t.
Even when it’s messy.
Even when no one claps for it.
Even when you don’t see the results yet.
Your cybersecurity journey is not wasted. You are building something bigger than you know.
Like Kafka, what you build today may change someone’s world tomorrow.
