Huh?
Can you give some more context? What is the main reason you are concerned with ethics? Are they interested in network security? App security? TVM? It's never a bad idea to get deep in the books with networking in general
Mmmkay, so more context needed.
1. Come from a conservative family that believes in controlling an education
2. Person is a young cousin and is curious about hacking and learning to hack
3. Parents of this cousin are scared because they know nothing about hacking. Questions popping up are:
- how to properly parent while allowing kid to learn hacking from an ethical perspective
- how to keep kid from hacking family devices?
- how to allow kid to learn and grow without becoming a cyber criminal?
3. Cousin has no idea where they want to focus but have started with network security
4. There are no resources in the local community to help teach kids interested in this kind of thing or educate parents.
There's literally a certification called Certified Ethical Hacker.
If they're concerned, just have him get exposed to Networking, Linux, Firewall
Are you afraid they’re going to try to hack other people? Lol jk. So much free material out on the internet for them to learn.

Plenty of free resources out there to learn how to code

Nah, it’s fine bro. Are they in the US? Let them do their thing until they’re 16. Any crimes are expunged from their record once they become and “adult.”
Don’t get me wrong I’m not encouraging they do something illegal. But I don’t think you need to babysit them. You can teach them about ethical hackers etc. more importantly teach them how to hide what they’re doing or perhaps build them a lab and let them have at it.
Use coding as a Trojan horse to assuage the parents. A great way to understand hacking is by being able to assume a different hat. In this case by starting as a programmer and using secure coding practices first.

This is the best game I’ve played to learn some basic “hacking” and Linux.
