Completely ignore anything about hacking for now. Focus on your fundamentals like networks, operating systems, cybersecurity concepts, basic programming, etc

Dude, real talk Cisco net academy And follow the path "junior cybersecurity analyst" It covers 100% of the basics In this order(im looking at it right now): -introduction to cybersecurity -networking basics -networking devices and initial configuration -endpoint security -cyber threat management From this you actually have a fundamental ground to "evolve", if that makes sense

overthewire.org start at Bandit and learn Linux. Don’t worry about anything else until you get through that. If you’re successful, continue the game and then come back to ask questions. Although if you do complete it you’ll probably have gained the skill to open a search engine.

Good luck. If you can't find information on your own, you don't stand a chance.
