The problem I'm getting is as I get further into my schooling there are less and less youtube videos on the subjects. So trying to get the knowledge out a books seemed to be the hardest thing I have ever done. I am so used to the videos, watch a few videos master the topic compaired to books... I will read the same chapter 1000 times and still won't get it. Reading it for the 1001st time won't get me any closer to understanding it. The only thing I can compair it to that most people will understand is Stack overflow vs documentation... Yea, stack overflow has a copy and paste answer but the documentation when done right should help you solve the problem just as well and make further problems easyer.

Make sure you highlight things you don't know / summarize what you read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethical hacking usually is more accessable when there's less privacy legislation and when people are dumber/more vulnerable Anyway, why do you wanna learn that?
