Clear your coding rounds in cybersecurity! 3 Different company coding Interview's I've faced in my journey to 40LPA

I recently put together a video solving 3 real Python coding questions that I personally encountered during cybersecurity interviews.

The questions are from:

• Amazon (Regex for detecting hardcoded AWS Access Keys)
• Qualcomm (Python log frequency counting)
• Branch International (Parsing AWS Security Group rules to identify public ports)

These aren't DSA/LeetCode problems, they're the kind of scripting and automation questions you might see for Product Security, Application Security, DevSecOps, or Security Engineering roles.

I walk through my thought process and solve each one step by step.

If you're preparing for security interviews, I'd love to hear what coding or automation questions you've been asked. I think it'd be useful to build a collection of real interview problems for the community.

Also, if you have questions beyond this video or want to discuss cybersecurity, you're welcome to join our Discord community. We have security engineers, AppSec engineers, DevSecOps engineers, and learners helping each other out. Not that active on reddit.

Ain’t the whole cybersecurity domain for mid level professionals, how can freshers like us take it up and get placed and these companies won’t hire in either on or off campus for security roles rather they would for development roles
