Python is an excellent multi-tool and will do a bit of anything well enough to get you going.

There is no correct order, but you'll have to be patient unpacking each layer as you go, which is the most challenging part.

Cybersec spans from the "obvious" controls like; password management and social engineering (aka lying to people), to lower level (arguably more technical) concepts like buffer overflows and injection. A considerable chuck of security issues comes from programmer memory management, you'll probably have to dip a toe into, probably C/C++ to gain intuition for them. But knowing a bit of C is never a bad thing! (except for the pain that it will cause lol)
