You must be wondering on how to start with ethical hacking you might have some knowledge but you strongly want to learn then follow this pathway we documented
Best way to start of is TryHackMe, Trust me I've learnt a lot from CTFs but that isn't much until I got exposed to TryHackMe and it made my learning faster
- TryHackMe Pathways
a. Pre-Security Path -> If you don't know networking and basic IT Stuff
