Learning cybersecurity from scratch.
I come from software development, but security is new territory for me. I want to build a technical foundation before jumping into advanced tools.

The approach
Understand first. Use tools second.
I am starting with Linux and networking because I want to understand what happens beneath applications, rather than just run commands without context.

Roadmap
A foundation before specialising.
