On a daily basis and on all hacking oriented communities, people ask how to start or to get into Infosec. I decided to maintain a post where I collect my ressources regarding (beginner) learning ressources. I am learning towards an infosec position for a while now and I am now a junior pentester at a german netsec company for about 4 months. I have backgrounds as a professional webdesigner and also little web-development.
