https://github.com/honeybeehacker/OSCP-
References/blob/main/Resources.md
Hacking Terms: https://www.hackterms.com/
OWASP:
The OWASP foundation is an industry-trusted community that
creates guidelines, documentation, and tools for web app security.
It’s important to understand and know the OWASP Top 10.
Security Podcasts: many exist, listen to learn about current issues and
pick up terms and jargon used in the industry:
Risky Business
Cyberwire daily
PortSwigger:
Interested in learning more web? PortSwigger provides excellent
learning materials for free!

Next Steps:
Get involved in the information security community! Check out your local
OWASP chapter, join a bug bounty community, attend local conferences, and
connect with others. Find a discord server, join the hacker community on
twitter, network with others! The more you understand the community, the
better you can find your place in the cybersecurity ecosystem.
