Study Confusion Again

[Budhaditya Bose]

I am very very confused about myself.
I like penetration testing the most,
To understand how and from where it came from, I have to know very good coding,
To understand very good coding, I need to understand medium level coding,
To understand Medium level coding, I have to understand low level - assembly - level coding,
To understand low level coding, I have to understand Architecture,
To understand Architecture I need to understand Digital Electronics,
To Understand Digital electronics, I have to have a good background in maths.
Now,
I am quite aged to do all of these, And I like every subject I stated above. And I am in BCA Course - Only Business level Applications are overviewed here - I hate.
And for age, I get fickle minded, And end up sleeping. Help me my Respected seniors.

I do not agree with the advice you have been given. It is like saying that to learn to drive a car you must first build a drilling rig to get oil, then refine petrol from oil, then...

If you wish to learn penetration testing, learn that FIRST.

If you learn the basics of TCP/IP, cryptographic concepts, and the Windows and Linux command lines (not very much, about a day on each) you can start a class on penetration testing, like this one from the SANS Institute, which is available online.

When you know penetration testing you will be able to decide how much coding, and at what level, you need to know. You will know what architecture you have to know, which is not all of it. You may need Digital Electronics, or maybe not. And there are plenty of people who do penetration testing who do not know maths.

Alway, to learn, start with what is MOST interesting. The rest will become interesting, or you don't need it.
