The Resources
Cyber Security is amazing. I love that it incorporates all the skills and passions I have. From coding and networking to troubleshooting and Linux … and more. I also love the community around the field. The folks are just so incredibly nice and helpful. Most are fans and supporters of Open Source and want to share what they know. Below are the resources I have used so far to teach myself the basics.
