Is this for beginners? I've been wanting to learn hacking, since I found about the CEH certification and want to get some experience in the field to know what it's like to hack.

If you’re just starting out, combining hands-on CTFs with structured guides can really speed up learning. I’ve seen similar step-by-step breakdowns in gaming communities too, like this jet guide hero wars alliance, where complex mechanics are explained in a beginner-friendly way. That same approach—clear progression, focused challenges, and practical tips—fits perfectly with wargames and platforms like TryHackMe or OverTheWire.
