Any cyber security people in here? I am currently on my second semester and having trouble understanding many of the concepts. Any advice on online tools or who to follow online to get a better understanding? Or does anyone want to be my tutor? HA.. I am sure it will all come to me as I continue. I am learning from home, didn't want the VAX.. 😄

Awesome man.. I've been into your links since you posted them here. I think this will help me. My dad is a very smart computer guy, he did this type of stuff for a long time, however, we don't talk. Politics and covid related... so I want to learn this even more. I just need to make it all click in my brain.
Be willing to skip around when learning things if you can. Learn what interests you first if you can. You’ll gain momentum and it will get easier. I was completely self-taught before I changed careers. I got lucky in that I changed careers in 2000; the best time in recent history to get into IT.
Skip the fucking OSI Model if you can. Learn it later. It won’t click until you know what a hub, switch, router, etc. actually do. It always bothered me that they put it at the start of the book when it should be at the end.
We all start somewhere. I remember that Commodore 64 and being up all night, mostly trying to figure out how to format a floppy disk. I remember buying a home networking kit; basically a hub, two network cards, and cabling. The damn thing wouldn’t work. Learned that coiled up unshielded networking cable doesn’t work.
Yes, I actually already learned the OSI, for the most part, years ago.. but that's basically as far as I got by reading and learning.. now I just want to focus on the networking and all these programs that were just thrown at me and what exactly these programs are designed for. It will take awhile I know.. I just need to be patient with it.. I can't thank you enough. I hope I can throw questions at you every once in a while. Any support will benefit me
sure, just dm me
