When learning complex subjects with a large range of variety it can often be overwhelming to find what you need to learn in order to get “good” at your chosen discipline. Many discussions center around advice such as you need to know “everything” or other unhelpful, unspecific outlines. I’ve made an infosec mind map for my own learning which I hope you find useful.
