Believe it or not a easier barrier of entry into tech is with this security tool. You can start a journey into tech by running this program. "sudo ./lynis audit system". This command will output a number of security concerns and give you an overall idea where your system may be lacking. You can easily ask google, for he is indeed your friend.
