Hey guys,
Appreciate your time reading this post
I am currently on TryHackMe and have completed Pre Security path in a very short amount of time and am up to the Metasploit section in Cyber Security 101 path
The end goal is to potentially be competent in a SOC level 1 role or just to get better at Cyber Security and Pen Testing for the fun of it... But my actual question is below:
Is this unrealistic for me? I had epilepsy when I was younger which slowed my learning because of the medication and recently after 20 years epilepsy free I recently had some seizures again and am now back on meds although a smaller amount this time, I wouldn't say I am super slow or anything but it takes me longer to remember and retain information compared to others
I only ask because I felt like even though I was learning slowly at least I was learning before but now that we are in metasploit I just do not understand anything, things are not working, I'm getting frustrated and I cannot even figure out the basic commands to even begin to try and answer the questions let alone ACTUALLY figuring out the answer
I am not sure how normal this is but I've been doing TryHackMe for like 10 hours a day for 10 days because I genuinely enjoy it but if I have no hope of actually getting somewhat decent at things just for fun or better yet a job in a level 1 SOC role I may as well just give up or do random pen testing stuff rather than trying to actually get better
Sorry for the long post the TLDR is:
Should someone who is slow at learning and not really "getting it" even bother with cyber? Or is it just going to take longer but still worth it for someone with a bad memory
