Build a security culture that ships safer systems without drama. In this podcast, Prabh and Sarang go deep on practical red teaming, how to work with blue teams, and how to avoid production landmines. We break down stealthy operations in live environments, legacy network scanning best practices, purple team exercises that actually improve detections, and the career path for aspiring red teamers who are starting with a small budget. You will learn how to document findings in plain English, pick representative samples instead of blasting whole networks, and present impact to leadership with context that earns trust.What we coverSecurity culture that reduces blame and builds collaborationRed vs blue to purple teaming that improves detections fastDaily life of a red teamer, ops tempo, and realistic reportingLegacy network scanning without outages, VLAN sampling, /24 tipsFoundational knowledge first: network architecture, ACL mapping, CVSSStealth in production vs aggressive testing in QAFree platforms to grow skills: Hack The Box, TryHackMeInterview strategies, hands-on challenges, and showcasing projectsBudget-friendly certs: CRT or CRTP as OSCP alternativesUsing LinkedIn for research, portfolios, and recruiter outreach Key takeawaysRed team vs blue team vs purple teaming: collaboration that actually worksFree hands‑on labs: Hack The Box, TryHackMe, VulnHubSafe network‑scanning best practices for legacy Cisco gear (avoid the /16 disaster)How to document findings in plain language that wins management supportBuilding a strong foundation in network architecture and core cybersecurity conceptsCrafting LinkedIn posts and portfolios that attract penetration testing recruitersAffordable certs that matter: CRT / CRTP vs OSCPLive interview tips: custom Hack The Box labs with no public write‑upsCISO talkshttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0hT6hgexlYwPTD-wC3oFBe27VGEiizg1NIST Serieshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcC_KabV_Ho&list=PL0hT6hgexlYy0vBwMv0eteiyAxB48RQzy&pp=gAQBiAQBGRC Serieshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mq_vSLHm4r0&list=PL0hT6hgexlYztA41j1bceTfVagP9mtq28&pp=gAQBISO 27001 Videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQqJH2naU6I&t=1454s&pp=ygUeaXNvIDI3MDAxIGltcGxlbWVudGF0aW9uIHN0ZXBzISO 27001 Implementation Guidehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBfwk10Hh-o&pp=ygUeaXNvIDI3MDAxIGltcGxlbWVudGF0aW9uIHN0ZXBzGRC Practical Serieshttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0hT6hgexlYztA41j1bceTfVagP9mtq28GRC Interviewhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0hT6hgexlYz1Usn1Nrnur6OzVoz59zylInternal Audithttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0hT6hgexlYyNWBcGYfabwumCr0GKmLWvStudy with MeTelegram Grouphttps://t.me/Infoseclearning#RedTeam #CyberSecurity #HackTheBox #PurpleTeam #PenTesting #TryHackMe #OTSecurity #readteaming
