[Kostas42]

Hello people, I 'm Kostas, from Greece, currently located in Wolfsburg, Germany and developing my programming skills in 42 coding school. Also, an ambassador for RedHat/42Wolfsburg, hence my presence here. I am interested in anything that makes me feel I understand something better than before and helps form the bigger picture. I suppose here enters Linux. I am a cyber security enthusiast (newbie) and a musician (relatively experienced).

Hi bro, can you teach me about Cyber security? or share some tips on how to learn

[Kostas42]

Hello, I definitely cannot teach you, I just started exploring the field myself and ofc is an enormous one with multiple branches. I will assume though that you are mostly interested in penetration testing and ethical hacking. So, in that area there are multiple sites that can help you with free content. I think the most famous ones are : hackthebox.com and tryhackme.com. There you can make your first steps.

If your focus on the other hand is to combine the knowledge you are getting from Red Hat Academy, you can also check Red Hat Security, Securing containers and OpenShift.
