I'm very interested into computersecurity but im studying something totally different (law). Plus im really bad in mathematics. Never the less i want to get into this stuff. Where begin Anon? How and which sources to learn?
Is this a good start:
Basic personal security (TOR, VPNs, proxies, HTTPS, encryption)
HTML, PHP, CSS, Python or C?, Cookie Hijacking, phishing, social engineering, botnets, IRC, DDoS/DoS

I'm working on a masters in cyber security and I work in the field.
Law would actually be very, very helpful. A big side of security is actually a legal side. Especially if you do security for a hospital or insurance company. Even more so if you wanna be a CIO eventually.
Math wise, you may or may not need a lot depending on you're interests in security. Like if you wanna do pen testing you don't really need a high level of mathematics. If you get into applied cryptology you need a strong understanding of AT LEAST calculus two, especially sequences. If you get deep into cryptology or quantifying risk you're going to need some knowledge of calculus, advanced statistics, and discrete mathematics - BUT that's dependent on how deep you wanna get and what you wanna do.
Programming wise Python is incredibly, incredibly useful. Really, you want to be ok with a database language (like SQL), a scripting language, an OOP language, and at least a good understanding of lower level stuff like assembly, or at least C. You don't have to be particularly good at any of these languages - what you need to know are the concepts and how you're manipulating the data and the device, not the particular syntax of any given language.
you're gonna want a strong understanding of networking more than almost anything else though.
Practically:
Without going to school, I'd check out Comptia network + and security + materials. That's a good start. Then pick an area of interest within security and go deeper. Specialize.

Computer Security requires cryptography which requires mathematics and a strong grasp of number theory.
You gotta get good at algebra and indices and understanding a lot of shit about prime numbers.
Fortunately, you don't really need any calculus.
