CyberSpark

// Ignite Your Cybersecurity Journey

Seven days. Zero fluff. Your first real contact with cybersecurity — networks, threats, live tools, and hands-on labs from day one.

7 Days On-site · Mohali Digital badge
The mission

CyberSpark is built for one moment: the day you decide to find out whether cybersecurity is your field. In seven intense days you’ll move from “I’ve read about this” to “I’ve done this” — tracing real traffic, scanning real systems, and defending a real machine.

There are no passive lectures here. Every concept lands in a lab within the hour, on Netonelabs’ own infrastructure, using the same tools working analysts open every morning.

By the end you’ll know two things: how the field actually works, and whether you want CyberForge to take you further.

What you’ll train on
NL-100.01

Networks & Protocols

How data really moves — IP, DNS, HTTP and the places attackers hide in between.

NL-100.02

Operating Systems

Windows and Linux essentials: the terminal, users, permissions, and processes.

NL-100.03

The Threat Landscape

Who attacks, why, and how — a working introduction to real-world attack paths.

NL-100.04

First Tools

Guided sessions with Wireshark and Nmap — capture traffic, map a network, read what you see.

NL-100.05

Defense Basics

Hardening fundamentals: what makes a system defensible, and what leaves it exposed.

NL-100.06

Hands-On Labs

Daily guided labs that turn every session into something you’ve actually done.

Who it’s for

▸ You qualify if

  • You hold — or are studying for — a computers degree: BCA, MCA, B.Tech CS/IT, B.Sc CS or equivalent (pre-final year, final year, or a recent graduate)
  • OR you’re a working IT professional with hands-on experience — developer, sysadmin, network engineer, cloud engineer, support engineer, QA
  • You’re 18 or older and ready for a device-free, full-focus training floor

▸ Not this track

  • Non-IT degrees (commerce, arts, mechanical…) without hands-on IT work experience
  • Short-course or certificate-only backgrounds without a degree or IT experience
  • Mid-career professionals from non-IT fields — CETARK’s enterprise team is the right door
  • Under 18

Minimum age 18. Eligibility is confirmed during enrollment — if you’re unsure, ask us before you apply.
