A beginner-curated list of free hacking & cybersecurity blogs
Built from my own learning journey 🚀
It’s been almost one year since I started my journey in cybersecurity.
While exploring the field, I came across many free blogs and websites that genuinely helped me learn hacking from scratch.
This repository is my attempt to give back to the community by sharing those resources — especially for beginners like me.
I’ve roughly sorted the list from beginner-friendly → more advanced, starting with some underrated gems you might not have heard of.
