Overall Timeline and Tips for Success
Total Estimated Time: 1.5 to 3+ years with consistent effort (10-20 hours/week). Cybersecurity is a field of continuous specialization.
Project-Based Learning: The best way to learn. Aim to build something at the end of each phase.
Consistency is Key: Regular, focused study is more effective than sporadic long sessions.
Join Communities: Engage with others (Stack Overflow, Reddit, Discord).
Read Code: Look at open-source projects on GitHub.
Experiment: Don't be afraid to break things (in safe environments).
Stay Curious: Technology evolves rapidly. Cultivate a habit of continuous learning.
Focus on Understanding: Strive to understand the "why" behind concepts.
Consider Specialization Later: This roadmap provides a broad foundation. You might find yourself drawn to a specific area.
This roadmap is a guide. Feel free to adjust timelines and focus areas based on your interests and progress. Good luck!
