How to make your application stronger
- Revise Python and be ready to show a small script you wrote, such as a log parser or a simple port checker.
- Get comfortable on a Linux command line. Reading logs is part of this work, so practise searching and filtering them.
- Brush up on networking basics like IP, DNS, ports and common protocols, so alerts make sense to you.
- Try a practice lab or beginner capture-the-flag site, and write a short report on one weakness you found and how to fix it.
- Keep any security coursework or mini projects ready to mention, since the work involves documenting findings clearly.
