Resource List

List of resources about everything under cybersecurity

List of resources that others have gathered for sharing. Compiling/ customising my own list here for easy reference even though there's plenty of lists out there. However, this list concentrates fully on learning technical skills and how or where to get started. Beats saving everything in my Bookmarks and reviewing it occassionally. Good if you think this list benefits you too! Feel free to contact me if you would like to add additional resources below.
