    Great! Really!

    Start with Network Fundamentals:

    • Understanding how networks work, including TCP/IP protocols, DNS, routing, and network architecture
    • Learning about different types of networks (LAN, WAN, VPN) and common network services
    • Getting hands-on practice with basic network troubleshooting and monitoring tools

    Operating System Security:

    • Learning Linux fundamentals since it’s widely used in security (start with Ubuntu or Kali Linux)
    • Understanding Windows security features and common system administration tasks
    • Learning about access controls, user permissions, and system hardening

    Penetration Testing Path:

    • Start with basic tools like Nmap for network scanning and enumeration
    • Learn Metasploit Framework for vulnerability exploitation practice
    • Study web application security using tools like Burp Suite
    • Practice on legal platforms like HackTheBox
    • Get familiar with the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities
    • Learn how to write detailed pentest reports

    Python for Security:

    • Basic Python programming fundamentals first
    • Focus on security-specific libraries:
      • Scapy for network packet manipulation
      • Requests for web scraping and API interaction
      • Paramiko for SSH automation
      • Socket programming for network tools
    • Learn to write your own security tools and automation scripts
    • Practice creating scripts for log analysis and incident response

    Cloud Security:

    • Start with one major platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
    • Study cloud-specific security controls and best practices
    • Understand identity and access management (IAM)
    • Learn about the secure configuration of cloud services
    • Practice with cloud security tools and monitoring
    • Study container security (Docker, Kubernetes)

    And more importantly, remember we are in the AI Era, you can learn faster than ever, and practice way better.
