Is this piece of shit show starting a new season or something?

I'm pretty sure it is but that is besides the point. I don't care about the show itself... I want to do the same kind of ethical hacking Elliot does.

Come on, hack-bot bros, where you at?

https://codeinstein.com/forum/ I recently found him out.
I have the exact same idea as you, after finishing the seasons, I thought fuck it, might as well follow Elliot's dreams, minus the drugs, everything else stays the same.

Might have to go to school to become "as skilled" as "Elliot".

I'm starting in the Fall in a computer engineering program, and going to be doing a lot of software stuff on the side. Would I need a cyber security degree to really learn this shit though?

Entirely depends on what your goal is.

If this is what you are looking to pick up as a skillset for job potential I would not point you in the direction of anything code heavy if it's outside your usual line of work. If you want to get into infosec I would lean you more towards Analyst work. Assuming you are already set on your host/VM/distro setup, go grab:
- Wireshark
- Free edition of Splunk or a SIEM
- Foremost
- Oledump, peepdf, pedump
- Security Onion
- Custom firmware for router that lets you dump firewall logs out
- investing in managed switch to mirror WAN port traffic for your Security Onion's Snort sensor

Workflow should be to first aggregate logs, security events, and alerts to find malware. Search, pivot, and correlate in SIEM or Splunk to find root cause and collect data. Analyze malware or suspicious network traffic. Attribute based on open source intel. Tune and improve alerts, generate analytics, build tracking dashboards in SIEM, contribute findings to security community.

Uhhhh but if you are just looking to dick around and kill time I guess scripting and pen testing is fine. I think pen testing is meme'd to death though and people don't know about all the other branches of infosec. I blame Mr.Robot partially.

I'll tell you, it's going to be code-centric to a fault unless you know you want to be narrowed into like application development security or webdev security.

Most college curriculums labeled as Computer Science or related won't touch on any of the things I listed out before. You'll have to spend some of your elective course options seeking out anything that will touch on forensics, compliance, network traffic analysis, security infrastructure, reverse engineering, ect ect. And most schools still don't offer enough courses to cover that.

I've never watched that show, but I know that getting into cybersecurity is pretty easy, just takes time and home study. Unlike actual hacking, you don't need to be a slick programmer to do it. Like all IT careers though, the downside is perpetual self-study to qualify and re-qualify for as long as your career lasts.

i used cybrary.it to get qualified for some entry level IT certifications, but apparently they specialize in cybersecurity cert training.
