My internship journey at Cyberster was an incredible learning experience that helped me strengthen my practical cybersecurity and technical skills. I gained hands-on exposure to real-world tasks, improved my problem-solving abilities, and learned how to work effectively in a professional team environment. The mentorship and supportive culture at Cyberster played a major role in boosting my confidence and career growth.
The internship was fine but improve the content/tasks, its just basic labs, the course needs to be improves its just too basic
This was one my exciting journey I ever experienced. As a beginner in Red Team, Cyberster pushed me to another level. Although I wasn't able to completee all the tasks due to university mids and then finals, but I watched all the sessions and performed real world bug hunting. From the knowledge I gained from this internship, I found 2 vulnerabilites in Google (Google Docs, and Gemini), unfortunately one of it got duplicate, but the other one is triaged right now. Despite being duplicate, it's still a huge win for me that I was atleast able to discover something, that I was atleast able to think like an attacker. Huge thanks to Cyberster.

Ok so I've seen any other platform yet other than yours to provide with such material (cybersecurity) in such depth
Zainab Noor Nouman
When I joined this internship I had no idea about how things work in Red Teaming, but now after this internship program I am confident about my skills. Thank you Cyberster for this amazing opportunity and also Thanks to the instructor Umer Niaz.
The overall journey was almost ideal for anyone trying to break into cyber security, particularly the pathways for blue teaming and purple teaming were well structured and quite beneficial for students. However I would suggest changing the name of red team internship to pentesting internship as the course material for red team should be very advanced and evasive.
So far, I have gained hands-on experience across web application pentesting (SQLi, XSS, file inclusion), post-exploitation, privilege escalation, and Active Directory attacks including Kerberoasting, AS-REP Roasting, and DCSync. I have also worked through advanced evasion techniques such as AMSI bypass, LOLBAS, and process injection, all within a practical lab environment running Kali Linux against Metasploitable 2. Beyond the structured assignments, I have been reinforcing my learning through TryHackMe, HackTheBox, and PortSwigger Web Security Academy, which has greatly sharpened my offensive security skillset.

The Cyberster Blue Team Internship has been one of the most technically intensive and rewarding experiences of my academic journey. Over ten weeks I built a complete defensive security skillset from the ground up deploying and configuring Wazuh SIEM, Suricata IDS, pfSense firewall, and threat intelligence integrations in a real lab environment, then transitioning into digital forensics where I conducted full forensic examinations using FTK Imager, Autopsy, and registry analysis tools on actual case evidence. The structured week by week progression, combined with the guidance of instructor Abdullah Zia, gave me not just technical skills but the investigative mindset and documentation discipline that real SOC and DFIR roles demand.

Muhammad Usama Bilal
This internship gave me real hands-on SOC skills, from SIEM deployment and malware analysis to digital forensics.
Olumide Akinlade
It was a pretty good experience. I've already had some experience in pentesting. So, I didn't exactly learn anything new, but the internship certainly reinforced my methodology. I am a security researcher. So, I already do Bug Bounty. That is why, I'd certainly love if you covered bug bounty in detail.
My internship journey through Cyberster took me from setting up a home lab from scratch to writing custom SIEM detection rules, performing digital forensics, and simulating real-world attacks and defenses end to end. Every week pushed me into territory that was genuinely unfamiliar — and that discomfort turned out to be the best teacher. I leave with not just technical skills, but the confidence to troubleshoot the unknown, which I think is the most important thing a cybersecurity professional can carry.
It was a great journey. This internship was literally beyond my expectations, especially for a remote internship. The instructor, the team, and most importantly, the professional environment and real-world tasks provided were truly on par with my expectations.
Muhammad Ahmed Hassan
For a long time as a self-taught learner, it was difficult to connect the different areas of cybersecurity. I was using tutorials, PDFs, labs, and scattered resources, but a lot of it didn’t fully make sense. At times, it felt like I was wasting time. When I enrolled in Cyberster’s offensive security program, I realized that the theory I had been learning was not wasted at all. It had actually helped me build the baseline I needed. Once I started practicing through the weekly lab challenges, many of the concepts became much clearer. Things that once felt confusing started to make sense, and I became much more confident in my skills. Today, I feel ready to take on a junior role in cybersecurity.
Angole Sharif Abubakar
My internship journey was highly practical and insightful, allowing me to strengthen my skills in digital forensics and cybersecurity tools through hands-on tasks.
