Newbie Seeking Guidance - DetectiveNo27 - Oct 14, 2023
Hey everyone,
I'm new to the hacking scene and have been doing some research on my own, but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I stumbled upon this forum, and it seems like a great place to learn and connect with like-minded individuals.
I'm particularly interested in cybersecurity and ethical hacking, and I've been working my way through online courses and tutorials. However, I'd love to hear from experienced hackers here about where to start and what resources you recommend. I'm also curious about any cool projects or challenges you've worked on.
If anyone could offer some guidance or share their own journey into hacking, I'd greatly appreciate it. Looking forward to being a part of this community and learning from all of you.
Thanks in advance!
