Hacker Hangouts

Learning hacking feels overwhelming. There is so much to know within cybersecurity and there are no experts. It feels like there is no direct path and I am not sure if there is. Gater_Byte, Gourry, Gulo, and myself (Silk) took different routes to get to the place we are. We are all hackers but massively different in our skillsets. That's the thing, it doesn't feel like there is one route but many. I hope our discussion helps you find yours.
