Reply to comment by KaFitalist in I am an ex-welder turned Offensive Security analyst (ethical hacker) AmA! by cyberjerry42

I think you may be a great fit! Offensive cybersec more specifically really needs you to think out of the box and this is typically where hardware folks excel as we usually often need to think out of the box when trying to fix a big mechanical problem. You can't just "reprint" that big gear with a broken tooth lol

I would say start somewhere like Codecademy or Freecodecamp. Also, once your fluent enough, try to automate some small tasks you think are annoying to manually so. Small projects will teach you the most!

Pleasure! Codecademy is a paid service (iirc) so if you want something cheaper check our Freecodecamp. It's a great website
