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.. 😄

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
