The first and foremost thing is that you need to understand the networking 
protocols.
If you understand those you can basically just start tinker with Wireshark and 
view the good video's out there.
Both Laura and other put some great videos out there that cover the Wireshark 
end.
But a solid understanding of IP, TCP, UDP, ..... is very, very, VERY 
important.

If you need training courses then ... it is hard to judge which ones make 
sense to you.
I was lucky enough to start with ethernet still being either thick or thin.
But if you have the discipline I think a good book on TCP/IP will be a better 
investment for you.

Met vriendelijke groet / With kind regards,

International Cybersecurity Professional?

Good afternoon from Singapore,

The time now is 8th November 2018 Thursday 3:50 PM Singapore Time GMT+8 UTC+8.

I have already graduated from the one-year part-time Diploma (Conversion) in 
Computer Networking course at Singapore Polytechnic with four Distinctions and 
an A grade in the year 2017. The curriculum is based on Cisco Certified 
Network Associate (CCNA) Routing and Switching.

Presently, I am considering two cybersecurity professional courses being 
offered.

I want to be an International/World-Wide Cybersecurity Professional.

Thank you very much.

for the Extremely Poor in Singapore although I am a Mechanical Engineering 
(with Aerospace Electives) university graduate from the National University of 
Singapore (NUS) in 2007.
