The purpose of this presentation is not to provide an overly technical, in-depth look at all the tools available to the budding cyber security researcher; instead this is what present me would have liked past me starting out in the field to have known. Every conference I have attended has had the same question pop up, "How do I start out?" To the credit of the community, they have been good at helping anyone out that asks. This talk is to give a broad idea of some low-cost or even free tools that anyone just starting out, or even some experts, may not know about. I will be going over places to get textbooks, training, tools, ways to relax, and a few fun things. If you,re looking for puns, terrible jokes, and possibly a meme or two, you,re in the right place!
