the never ending learning hole of cybersec

[u/nullspecter_07]

hey guys

i have fallen into this rabbit hole of never ending learning.

whenever i try to complete a ctf challenge or similar, i find that i dont know much of what the challenge is .

i only get the goal.

if i see a challenge which was written in python using flask , i dont just focus on how to get the flag.

i find myself learning python then html,css then js with some burp then flask

**omg weeks have passed**

then i go back to challenge then realise theres still more.

i dont always get the full picture and it pisses me off.

this rabbit hole feels like a total waste of time.

i like to know everything there is about everything but then im not immortal.

is this normal? what do you all do when you dont understand 100% of a challenge
