What are the best hacking games on STEAM where I can really learn something?
I see a bunch of hacking related games on STEAM and I want to know which ones are easy to pick up on for beginners (has tutorials and advice). Thanks in advance! (Money isn't an issue)

Hacking games are principally entertaining, not educational. One would be better off picking up a book on networking or an introduction to programming if he wants to begin learning computing & security concepts.

I mean more instructional where instead of you doing things from scratch it leads you in the correct direction on how to do it. I'm not too tech savvy but I can do a few good things.

It's more learning real linux commands, but not actual hacking (just run tools, etc). These are just games, they are kinda for the geek/tech it to play around with as it's typing commands, etc.

Understand real hacking, has noobies using other hackers tool which could infect their own system. Hense most ddos attacks, infect the kiddie scripter hackers into that botnet to perform the attacks from their own systems.

If you are truely interested in hacking. You would want to do a "Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH)" course if actually getting into whitehat security.
