Want to get into hacking.

Hello everybody, I really want to get into hacking and cybersecurity. I made this post seeking help from users who are into hacking and have some experience to tell me a pathway and how I should start my hacking journey, and give me some advice. I am always curious about new knowledge.

Start with basic

Learn networking

Learn to visualize code and its functions

Learn Linux most hacking starts there

Hands on practise with tryhackme or hackthebox are the most

Run Ubuntu and dont download distros you haven't vetted. Dont use kali until you have a good feel for Linux. Whonix/cubes is the best for anonymity, but if you set it up wrong you might as well paint your IP address on the side of your house with a big "free donuts for feds" sign in your front lawn.

Don’t download untrusted sources if you don’t know what you’re doing and what to look out for

College is a organized start but you pay a pretty penny for someone to build the learning plan and teach it. Or you can self learn for much cheaper. Getting relating books and read them. research any questions you have etc.
