A list of stuff I've found useful over the course of me teaching myself All Of The Security Things. Constantly a work in progress. Things with 🌟are my ride-or-die faves.

## Where To Start

Not gonna lie, I get this question a lot and I never have a good answer for it. So here's some general tips: 

* Start with what you're interested in. If you heard about an exploit, tool, concept, etc what peaked your interest, dive into that first.

  * Here are some places to start in case you're stuck: 

    - [Common Web Exploits](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23102/what-common-web-exploits-should-i-know-about)

    - [Wikipedia page on Exploits](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Computer_security_exploits)

    - [Security Planner](https://securityplanner.org/#/)




* If you are reading a blog post, wiki page, book, paper, etc. and you come across something you've never heard of or don't understand, don't continue reading until you understand that thing. (Obviously, this won't work for everyone because everyone learns differently. One of my first year uni prof's gave me this advice and I've found it to be pretty effective.)




* Be prepared to not understand pretty much everything.




* Have a decent understanding of programming. If you've never done any sort of programming before, check out [Code Academy](https://www.codecademy.com/) — the Python track is a good place to start.




* Don't just read about it! Reading about security is all well and good, but coding exploits will solidify your understanding. Check out the [CTFs](#ctfs) section to get started.




* Get yourself a bookmarking tool such as [Pocket](https://getpocket.com/). There will be lots of things you'll want to save for later and you'll need a way to organize them. (Don't be like me and use Twitter likes as your bookmarking tool)

  * This is actually a good opportunity to check out [Security Planner](https://securityplanner.org/#/) to learn more about how to manage your online privacy!
