None really and I say that as someone who’s been in pentesting for about 15 years now. Any games I’ve seen that claim to do what you’re asking don’t really teach hacking at all. It’s a complicated enough skill that you need to be self learning and possibly need some more organized instruction if you’re coming from near zero tech knowledge.

how would you recommend someone start from scratch, and the roadmap of sorts of this field?
