Ask HN: Is specializing in these cybersec domains a good direction to take?
Hey, this is my first time asking here.
A bit about myself: I'm currently a cybersecurity student at a university, not in the US. Things are a bit different in my country, but to give you an idea of my academic background, we can say it's similar to having a bachelor's degree in computer science, and now I'm in a master's cybersecurity program.
Recently, I have been thinking that I should specialize in some cybersecurity domains. The motivation for this thought process is that cybersecurity is a huge multidisciplinary field, and you can't be an expert in everything (network security, IAM, cloud security, Android security, Windows security, etc.).
Before specializing, I believe it's important to have a solid foundation, and I think I do. My background includes:
- Networking: LAN (equipment, VLAN, subnetting, routing), WAN, dynamic routing, firewalls, network services (DNS, DHCP, NFS, SAMBA, ), OSI model, different TCP/IP protocols... - Programming: HTML/CSS, JS, C/C++, Java, Python, and shell scripting. - A good understanding of Linux, cryptography, among other topics.
Now, the question is: which domains should I focus on? After doing some research https://pauljerimy.com/security-certification-roadmap/ and based on discussions with my professors and based on my personal interests, I have chosen the following areas:
- OS Security
- Malware Analysis
- Digital Forensics
Thus, I plan to delve deeply only into these domains. For example, regarding OS security, my plan is to:
1. Study the theory of how operating systems work. For this, I have begun reading the famous book "Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces" You might wonder why I'm revisiting this topic since I have a bachelor's in computer science; the answer is that most courses don't go into too much detail, and I want to refresh my memory.
2. Explore the design decisions of specific operating systems (for Linux, I plan to read "Linux Kernel Development" by Robert Love; for Windows, I will read "Windows Internals").
3. Participate in CTFs and challenges that focus on OS security.
The goal of this post is to share my thoughts and to ask the community what they think of this thought process. Any thoughts, tips, or recommendations are very welcome.
EDIT: formatting.

Mom, I made a SaaS in 32 hours
There’s so much hype about building SaaS in “1 hour” with CursorAI, GPT, Cloud, you name it. I decided to try something more "realistic": building a SaaS in 2 days. I grabbed my favorite tools like Cursor, ChatGPT, and a simple stack: NestJS + MongoDB + NuxtJS, and started my weekend challenge.
Spoiler: 16 hours wasn't enough. So, I extended it to 32 hours—and finally finished in 33 hours. Did I beat the challenge? Feels like a win to me.
I built UniqMail, a simple tool for sending personalized cold emails with AI. It’s straightforward—create a project, upload your data, and let AI handle the personalization. Plus you can connect your provider for sending emails directly. And yes I implemented credentials encryption so your data is safe :-)
No hype, no over-engineering. Just a clean, efficient tool that gets the job done.
It’s live now, perfect for anyone in sales, HR, or marketing who sends a lot of emails.
Curious to try? Feedback is more than welcome!
