Just saying, I read in r/hacking to pick one thing at a time. But isn't NetSec and WebSec interrelated?

Making custom port scanner, python code to bypass anti-csrf token while brute forcing. Aren't these interrelated to NetSec ?

Here is ChatGPT response:

For web security, a range of network-related skills are essential to protect digital systems from unauthorized access and cyber threats. Here are some of the key network skills that are highly valued in the field of web security:

• Network Configuration: Understanding how to set up and manage networks is fundamental.
• VPNs and Firewalls: Knowledge of virtual private networks (VPNs) and firewalls is crucial for controlling access to networks.
• Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS): Ability to use IDS to monitor network traffic for suspicious activity.
• Vulnerability and Penetration Testing: Skills in assessing network vulnerabilities and performing penetration tests to find security weaknesses.
• Cryptography: Familiarity with cryptographic protocols to secure communication over networks.
• Understanding of Malware: Knowledge of various types of malware and how they can affect networks.
• Security Measures: Implementing security measures to protect network integrity and data privacy.
• Familiarity with Operating Systems and Database Platforms: Knowing how different operating systems and databases interact with the network is important for securing them.

These skills enable cybersecurity professionals to assess vulnerabilities, respond to security incidents, and ensure the safety of networked systems¹²³⁴. Continuous learning and staying updated with the latest security trends and technologies are also part of the skill set required for web security professionals.
