What’s inside
- 7 phases, week by week — networking, Linux, web fundamentals, hacking methodology, tools, bug bounty, certifications (Weeks 1–24).
- Real tools, explained — Nmap, Burp Suite, Subfinder, Nuclei, Gobuster, Wireshark — what each does and when to use it.
- OWASP Top 10 in plain words — the ten web risks that matter, with real-world examples.
- Your first 30 days — a week-by-week starter plan so you never wonder “what next?”.
- 7 mistakes that kill beginners — tutorial hell, tool-collecting, practising on the wrong targets.
- Honest answers — degree? laptop? earnings? practising legally? No sugar-coating.
This is for you ifyou are starting from zero and want a real path — student, career-switcher, or just curious how hacking actually works.
This is not for you ifyou want shortcuts, “hacking tools” with no understanding, or anything illegal. This roadmap keeps you on the legal side, always.
