Welcome.

The fuirst thing imho is to know what ethics you want to follow. Do you want to help to improve cyber-security ord do you want to take down websites, write and spread malware?

If the latter, then this is the wrong place to look for help.

But if you want be one of good guys (IT ninjas ) then you'll find supportive people here.

So for starters: Do you know what section you're most interested in? pentesting? networking? other areas?

 

We also have other topics with tips about how and where to start. Just check the search function (I'm too lazy right now, sorry ;) )

Actually scratch that networking looks like more fun

 

[Broti]

All make fun, just in a different way. :)

 

 

[TheGalaxyPandaa]

[Broti]

So networking it shall be.

How much do you know about networking already? The basics like OSI or network frame?

[TheGalaxyPandaa]
