I guess this maybe ELI10 because of my patient. He wants to be a "hacker" I don't really know much about it but he wants to do it for good. Is this possible or something?? (lemmy.world)

He has two tumors on his heart. With that sentence you can see down the road. Make A Wish will not touch this because I guess it's it is illegal just to be a hacker for good or some bs. I grew up in the era of where you could download a program, ie napster, limewire, icq and be on your way. I keep searching for good hackers but it seems like they have that rep of bad. Please help....Posting this in different communities to help out btw so don't get jealous. Much love to all.

Take a look at this: https://cylabacademy.org/learners.html#learning-paths

It's built to train people in the basics of cybersecurity. They apparently have resources that are aimed at middle-schoolers and high-schoolers but I'm not very familiar with those, you'll have to dig around.

You'll see references to "CTF". That means "Capture the Flag" which is a type of hacker game/competition/exercise.
