November 21, 2022 at 6:36 PM forget about hacking , go learn how to program stuff...
learn how to make linux kernel modules , learn how to do code low level stuff... for example , you could take interest in doing some chip emulation , like gameboy or NES emulation.
the low level aspect gives you many many important insights that you wont get in coding a website.
You wont be able to exploit a buffer overflow , if you don't know anything about the layout of the memory and data representation , and you wont do shit with that information without knowing how to play with bits.
at the same time , do some simple pentesting ... mostly try to pentest APIs , they're the easiest.
Edit : (and learn how to google :3 )
