Are you ready to dive into the fascinating world of Car Hacking while shaping the future of cybersecurity education? After a brief hiatus since Thanksgiving, I’m excited to announce that I’m back with a brand-new course, a fresh Discord community, an interactive poll to guide my next course topic, and a special giveaway for those who participate. Whether you’re a veteran in the field of information security or just starting your journey, there’s a lot here to spark your curiosity and elevate your skills. Please keep reading for all the details on how you can join the community, cast your vote, and potentially win lifetime access to my entire course library.

1. Returning with Fresh Insights

Since Thanksgiving, I’ve been researching, planning, and developing new content. Now, I’m thrilled to share the results of that work with a community that’s always eager to learn and evolve. If you’ve followed my updates in the past, you’ll know I’m passionate about blending hands-on exploration with solid theoretical grounding. This blend is at the heart of my newest course, focusing on Car Hacking, an emerging field that intersects mechanical engineering, software development, and cybersecurity.

Modern vehicles have become rolling computer networks filled with sensors, control units, and wireless interfaces that can be targets for attackers. This vulnerability is why gaining the proper know-how in automotive cybersecurity is vital for anyone working in or exploring digital security.

2. Spotlight on Car Hacking 101

My latest offering, Car Hacking 101: From Keyfob Cracking to Full System Exploitation, is designed to introduce you to the key concepts needed to understand and potentially exploit the technologies inside today’s vehicles. The course covers:

Keyfob Cracking – Learn how modern remote key systems can be compromised and what measures can protect them.
CAN Bus Basics – Get an overview of the Controller Area Network protocol, integral to automotive networking.
Vulnerability Identification – Discover where common weaknesses lie in automotive software, hardware, and firmware.
Mitigation Strategies – Equip yourself with the best practices for safeguarding vehicles against real-world attacks.

By the end of this course, you’ll have a comprehensive view of how a car’s digital ecosystem functions, the vulnerabilities that lurk within, and the defensive tactics that can neutralize these threats. If you’re eager to start, head to my course page at lufsec.com/products to learn more.

3. Brand-New Discord Server

One of the most significant changes this time is the brand-new Discord server, created from scratch and made public for the first time. I believe effective learning doesn’t happen in a vacuum; having peers, mentors, and enthusiastic community members to bounce ideas off can dramatically accelerate your progress.

Peer Support: Get help in real-time for any questions related to the Car Hacking 101 course or other cybersecurity topics.
Resource Sharing: Share tools, articles, and insights that complement the course material.
Study Groups & Events: Look out for live Q&A sessions, group study events, and other interactive activities.

I’d love for you to join this new community. To do so, click here: https://discord.gg/gQxwGRHy.

4. Vote on My Next Course

I always listen to the ground to discover what my community wants to learn next. This time, I’m running a poll to determine which topic I’ll tackle in a future course. The options include:

CompTIA Security+ is ideal for those starting in cybersecurity who want a solid certification pathway.
Hacking AWS Cloud – Dive into cloud-specific vulnerabilities and attack methods, focusing on Amazon Web Services.
Hacking APIs – Exploring how APIs can be exploited and secured in today’s interconnected web applications.
CEH Certification – Master the content needed to pass the Certified Ethical Hacker exam.
Other – Suggest a course idea that isn’t listed above!

Voting is open until the end of this month. By participating, you’ll directly influence the content I develop next. Visit our Discord server to place your vote—it only takes a minute, and your input truly matters.

5. Exciting Giveaway: Lifetime Access + Cybersecurity Book

What’s better than learning about cutting-edge cybersecurity topics? Learning them for free. As a thank-you for helping me shape my upcoming course, everyone who votes in the poll will be entered into a giveaway to win:

Lifetime Access to all my current and future courses—Car Hacking 101 included!
A copy of my book, How to Start a Career in Cyber Security, provides insights and tips to establish a strong professional foothold in this growing field.

If you cast your vote in Tiscord before the end of the month, you’ll automatically be in the running. The winner will be announced in early February, and I’ll also post the results on social media so no one misses out.
