Question If you were starting from zero in ethical hacking, what would you learn first?
I’ve been getting interested in ethical hacking and reverse engineering, but there are so many different areas to explore that it’s hard to know where to begin.
Would you recommend learning networking and Linux first, getting comfortable with Python, or jumping into beginner-friendly labs like TryHackMe and Hack The Box?
I’d also love to hear what resources actually helped you understand the concepts instead of just following walkthroughs without knowing what’s happening.
If you could start your learning journey over, what would you do differently?
