In short - security is such a big and multifaceted topic that it’s hard to know where to start, but I think that learning Kali Linux tools would cover a lot.
I started working at a cybersecurity company - our product is ridiculously stupid and I try and work as little as possible. In the time I’m not working I try to at least learn stuff. Since I’m at a cybersecurity place I sometimes try to learn about cybersecurity. It seems that even though for profit cs companies are making crazy dough, a lot of open source solutions out there do the same thing. There are so many attacks - they can be anywhere from the application level to the level of physical devices like routers having some kind of exploit. For any type of attack there is a good or multiple good open source tools that can be used to execute or defend (depending on what color hat you have), and a ton of them come standard installed on Kali Linux, but before you learn these you have to understand networks. As a python/Django dev I didn’t really have a deep knowledge and still don’t have a deep knowledge of this. Nor have I done more than dabble with any of these tools. But I know that there are a lot of videos on how to use these - including this 15 hour (!) one https://m.youtube.com/watch?t=1177s&v=vg9cNFPQFqM https://m.youtube.com/watch?t=1177s&v=vg9cNFPQFqM - if you were to go through that you’d probably be a security wizard
